It all depends on just how adventurous you are and what your particular tastes dictate. Tonala is a shoppers paradise but one must be willing to work at it a bit. While certainly not a complete sourcing guide, the following Tonala website should give you an idea of the overall diversity of product:
http://www.tonala.com.mx/portal/index.php
Tonala not only had 1000's of shops but is also a manufacturing center for the area.If you don't see exactly what you want, you can generally find someone to build it for you and the prices are generally much better than shopping in Guadalajara, Tlaquepaque or at the Lake. If you like wrought iron, your choices are endless but I would caution you on making sure of the quality of finish. Some Mexican paints are not durable and you may experience problems with rust spots or chipping.
If you are interested in wood furniture ie: dining table, you might take a look at the site which follows:
http://www.mueblesrusticosdemezquite.com/ini/index.php
This company specializes in furniture of mesquite wood, which is quite attractive when finished correctly and much more durable than the pine one often finds in furniture.
If you are looking for unique high quality patio furniture, I would recommend taking a look at:
http://www.mueblesfundidos.com.mx/
Most of their furniture is cast aluminum with a powder coat finish that is far more durable than any painted metal furniture. For us, we found that this outfit has a large number of styles or designs and their quality stands out!
