Raj Home Furniture

We are located in Krishnarajpuram, right outside the Shahpur Gate. Our shop, Raj Home Furniture, is directly opposite the Canara Bank. It is a good landmark for people who aren't familiar with this part of town. We have been here for many years, selling all kinds of things like chairs, tables, and wooden cupboards. The area around the gate is always full of traffic and people heading to the bank. Inside our shop, it usually smells like freshly cut wood and some of the polish we use. We don't have a polished showroom like the big stores in the city. Instead, we just have rows of furniture stacked up for people to see. There is often some sawdust on the floor and the walls could probably use a new coat of paint. We have a couple of guys who help us move the heavy pieces and do the deliveries around the neighborhood. It is hard work, especially when we have to carry things up narrow stairs for a customer. We don't do any big advertising or have a mission statement. We just open the doors in the morning and wait for people to come in. It is a very straightforward business and we have lived in this area long enough to know most of the neighbors. We stay until late in the evening when the traffic finally starts to slow down.
