Devi Woods Funitures

You can find us at 163 Gandhi Road in Velachery. Devi Woods Funitures has been in this spot for quite a bit. It’s a dusty place because of all the sawing and sanding we do. Gandhi Road is always busy with people going to work or the malls, but inside the shop, it’s just the sound of hammers and wood. We don’t have a shiny showroom like the big stores do. Our furniture is usually stacked up or being worked on right in the middle of the floor. We deal with all kinds of wood. Some days we are making a simple stool and other days it’s a big wardrobe that takes up half the room. It’s hard work on the back and the hands. Most of the guys here have callouses and sawdust in their hair. We don't really use a lot of fancy blueprints. We just know how things should fit together. People come to us when they want something that isn't made of plastic or cheap board. We take our time with the joints and the finish. Velachery is getting crowded, but our little corner on Gandhi Road feels like it’s been the same forever. We don't have a salesperson in a suit. You just talk to the person holding the chisel. It’s a practical shop for people who just want honest woodwork. Anyway, the shop is always open if you want to see what we are making.
