Star Roshan Furniture

If you come down to Kaval Byrasandra, you will find Star Roshan Furniture at 570/470. It is more of a workshop than a showroom. There is almost always a layer of fine sawdust on the tabletops and the concrete floor. We spend most of our hours measuring wood or checking the fabric for a new sofa. The smell of glue and varnish is pretty strong inside, so we keep the big front doors wide open most of the time. Moving the heavy wardrobes around is a two-man job and we usually have to clear a path first. The address is a bit tucked away, so people sometimes have to call us for directions once they get into the neighborhood. We have a few old saws and some newer drills that we use all day long. The noise can be quite loud when the cutting starts. We don't have a salesperson in a suit or anything like that. We just show people the wood we are working on or the frames we have finished. Sometimes we sit on the stools and have our lunch while looking at the drawings for the next piece. It is a lot of lifting and hammering, and our hands are usually pretty rough and tired by the end of the week. We just focus on getting the joints tight and the finish smooth before the truck comes to pick things up for delivery. It is a dusty job but we are used to it.
