Progress Furniture Works

Progress Furniture Works is located right at number 1 in the Memani Building in Kalbadevi. We are quite close to Fanaswadi, which is a very traditional and busy part of the city. Our workshop is usually filled with the smell of wood and the sound of saws. It’s not a clean, air-conditioned showroom. There is sawdust on the floor and tools scattered across the workbenches. We’ve been doing this for years, and our hands show the work we do. People come to us when they need something sturdy made or fixed. We don't have a big sales team or a glossy catalog. Usually, people just bring in a sketch or tell us what they need, and we get to work. Kalbadevi is a crowded area, so getting large pieces of wood in and finished furniture out can be a bit of a struggle sometimes, but we’ve gotten used to it. We take our time with the joints and the finish because that’s how we were taught. It’s honest, manual work that keeps us busy from dawn till dusk. Some days it’s just repairing an old chair, and other days we’re building a whole cupboard from scratch. We don't make any big promises; we just do the work as best as we can in our little corner of the Memani Building. It’s been our home for a long time, and we like being part of the local trade here.
