Ash_w, we brought all of our furniture with us and are so glad we did. It made us feel at home right away and the quality and style of furniture here is nothing like what you are used to. Not that it's necessarily bad, it's just different. It seems to fall into two catagories - modern and sleek or extremely ornate. We were fortunate in that my husband's company paid for the shipment, so I realize that it's not an option for everyone. But if you can do it, I think you'll be happy. Especially if you have children, it kind of eases the transition to have familiar things around.
We used Clover movers and were very happy. Not a single thing arrived damaged and the staff were extremely helpful at every turn.
Feel free to pm me if you'd like to talk more. We've been here since the end of March, so we are still finding our way ourselves, but so far it's been a fairly positive experience.
