Personally, this depends largely on the apartment and the number of properties the landlord owns, Most landlords in Dubai & the rest of the middle east that have multiple properties listed or who own all the apartments in an apartment complex typically source their furniture & furnishings from a medium-sized south-Asian or India based furniture manufacturer like (moderated. Looks like crafty advertising) that does custom home furnishings like this one.
They typically get better deals since they source at such a large scale and they tend to pass on most benefits to the tenants & the furniture also tends to be quite classy. Not to mention, the landlord also makes money out of this and the tenant does not have to hunt for furniture incessantly. This makes for a great deal overall.
If I am an owner of multiple properties, I would also resort to something similar. With the on-going virus, since China is not a great option to source great quality furniture, Vietnam & India turn out to be great alternatives.
