I didn't bring any of my electronics except for my laptop, and we just use an adaptor because the laptops already have a universal adaptor attached for current issues. The rest of the electronics we bought here. It's not as cheap as it is in the US, but the salaries are higher so it evens out.

As far as furniture is concerned, if you're attached to something or you are being given a shipping allowance (as we were), by all means bring it along. Keep in mind that the cost of shipping often works out to be more than the cost of buying the same or a similar product new. If you don't have sentimental value attached to your stuff and nobody's going to reimburse you the cost of shipping, you may be better off buying furniture here. Several furniture companies have deals now where you can essentially furnish and entire house as a package deal for a few grand! It's a bargain really.
