Royaloak

Our place is at 51/1 on Jangali Maharaj Road in Banaswadi. Royaloak is basically a big space filled with sofas, dining tables, and beds. It can get pretty dusty with all the wood and fabric around, so we spend a lot of time cleaning. The showroom is usually busy on weekends when families come in to sit on the couches and see if they are comfortable. We have a few staff members who walk around and answer questions, but mostly we let people just look. It’s a big building, so it stays relatively cool even when it’s hot outside. We’ve been in Banaswadi for a while and have seen the neighborhood change quite a bit. Sometimes the delivery trucks get stuck in the narrow parts of the road, which is always a bit of a mess to sort out. We spend a lot of time unboxing new stock and putting things together. It’s hard work on the back, moving heavy wardrobes around. We don’t have a script or anything like that for customers. If someone wants to know the price or what wood it is, we just tell them. In the evenings, we turn off the big lights and it gets really quiet. We’re just a furniture shop trying to keep things running. It isn't anything fancy, just plenty of things for people to put in their homes. We like the local vibe of the street.
