Agree with above comments on depends who is paying for the shipping and which state you are moving into. If you already have customized furniture here, you will find it virtually impossible for it to be duplicated in the US at a reasonable price as labor is quite expensive there.
Another thing to consider is weather, since it is humid in HK, if for example you move to CA where it is dry, Rosewood furniture has a good possibility of cracking, so shipping said furniture would be a waste.

Thanks to all of you. I will move to Sunnyvale in California at the beginning of November and all the shipping cost is paid myself.
After reading your comments, i decide to buy the furniture in USA.
By the way, can anyone of you advice where to buy second hand furniture in CA?
Many Thanks!!

For 2nd hand furnitures you might have better luck at consignment shops or some non for profit thrift stores. You might also be able to pick up some stuff from garage/estate sales & ads in pennysaver magazines. Keep in mind that you might not get very high caliber stuff unless you're really lucky.
There is also an Ikea in Palo Alto right off the 101 freeway (University exit) if you like the Ikea style.
Also for kids/baby items, there is a Yahoo group for South Bay Parents that is set up to enable parents in the Silicon Valley area to buy, sell, trade or give away baby, child and maternity equipment, toys, clothes, and related items.. It's pretty safe, I've had no issues dealing with buying or selling off the site and it's geared for the San Jose area and vicinity. Here is the website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SBParentsbuy_sell_kidstuff/
There are also other sites such as CraigsList( http://sfbay.craigslist.org/ )and www.freecycle.org where you can search for items that people are selling/giving away all over the bay area (and beyond). You might need to look through the items carefully, but I've had friends post/buy some beautiful furniture on Craigslist for cheap.
Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions on the Bay Area, it's my stomping grounds!
