Balaji Fruniture

Balaji Fruniture is a small shop at 9 Malad East, in the Shiv Parvati Sadan building. We deal with all kinds of home furniture. You’ll find chairs, tables, and cupboards here. It’s a bit tight in the shop because we try to keep as much as we can on the floor so people can see the wood and the finish. We aren't like those huge furniture malls. We know most of our customers by name because they live just a few streets away. Sometimes we do custom work if someone wants a specific size for their kitchen or bedroom. There is always the smell of sawdust and varnish in the air. We spend a lot of time fixing things or assembling new pieces that come in. It’s hard work on the back, but it's what we know. The spelling of the business name is a bit different, but that’s just how it’s been since the start. We don’t mind. People find us anyway. We aren't trying to be the most modern shop in Mumbai. We just want to provide solid furniture that doesn't fall apart after a month. We help with the delivery too, usually just loading it onto a small cart or truck. It’s a simple neighborhood business, and we are happy staying that way. Most days it’s just us and the wood, and that’s enough for a day’s work in the Shiv Parvati Sadan building.
