Vijayalakshmi Furnitures

We are set up in the Lakshmi Complex at 112 Lalbagh West. It is an old building but it serves us well for storing all the furniture. Wood and sawdust are basically part of the atmosphere at Vijayalakshmi Furnitures. We have tables, chairs, and cupboards lined up inside. Some are finished and others are waiting for a coat of polish. I have been working with furniture since I was a teenager. My hands are always a bit rough from the wood. We don't have a fancy showroom with bright lights. It is more of a practical space where you can see how things are actually made. People come in with sketches of what they want for their homes. We look at the wood and see what can be done. It takes time to make something sturdy. We don't like to rush because the joints need to be right. The complex gets a bit quiet in the afternoons but the mornings are always hectic with deliveries. Carrying a heavy wardrobe down the stairs is always a challenge for us. We manage though. Sometimes the traffic around Lalbagh makes it hard for our truck to get out. But we have been here for so long that we know all the shortcuts. It is a local business and we like being part of this old neighborhood. Nothing fancy, just solid furniture that lasts a long time. We mostly work with teak when we can get it.
