Latha Steel Furnitures

We are located at Latha Steel Furnitures on the 5th Cross in Manjunathanagar. This part of New Guddadahalli is right off the busy Mysore Road, so there is always a lot of movement. The shop itself is full of heavy metal frames and the smell of paint and welding. It’s a noisy environment because we are always moving steel around or fixing something. We don’t have air conditioning or fancy chairs; it’s just a hard-working floor where we put things together. My father started this, or maybe it was just a small shed before, and now we use the whole space for the furniture. We spend a lot of time loading and unloading trucks that struggle to get through the narrow cross roads. It’s a bit of a squeeze sometimes. Most of the people working here live nearby, so we all know each other well. We don’t bother with big advertisements or anything. People just know we are here on the 5th cross if they need something made of steel. The floors are usually covered in metal shavings, and we spend the last hour of the day just sweeping up. It’s a simple life. We start early when it’s still a bit cool and try to finish before the evening traffic on Mysore Road gets too bad. It’s just honest work with our hands, day in and day out.
