A K S Furniture/A K Shah Bed Centre

You can find us over at 23 B on Nelson Manickam Road in Choolaimedu. It is a very busy stretch of road, so there is always a lot of dust and noise from the cars passing by. We focus mostly on beds and mattresses at A K S Furniture/A K Shah Bed Centre, which means our shop is basically full of soft things to sit or lie on. It is quite a contrast to the hectic street right outside our door. We spend a lot of time helping people pick out what feels right for them, which usually involves a lot of poking and prodding at different cushions. Delivering these big items through the narrow stairs of Chennai apartments is the hardest part of our job. We’ve had our fair share of struggles getting a king-sized mattress through a small doorway or around a tight corner. The shop itself is simple, with bright lights and rows of frames. We don't have a corporate office or a big team of managers. It is just us and a couple of helpers for the heavy lifting. We keep our paperwork on a small wooden desk near the entrance. Some days are slow and we just sit and watch the traffic, while other days we are constantly loading up the rickshaws for deliveries. We have been in Choolaimedu for a while now and most of our neighbors know us. We just try to provide something solid that will last.
