Punjab Furniture Works

Down in Chembur East, specifically around Marol Naka, you will find Punjab Furniture Works. We are situated on Andheri Kurla Road, tucked behind the Jankalyan Bank. It is a busy part of town with a lot of noise and traffic constantly going past the door. The workshop is usually filled with the smell of cut wood and a layer of fine sawdust that gets on everything. We have been making tables, chairs, and cabinets here for quite some time now. It is a small team and most of us have been working with wood since we were much younger. The floor is always cluttered with offcuts and shavings. We don't have a showroom with bright lights or anything like that. People just walk in, show us what they need, and we figure out how to build it. Sometimes the rains make the wood swell a bit, so we have to be careful with storage during the monsoon. It is honest work and our hands are usually calloused from the tools. The back side of the bank is a bit quieter than the main road, which is nice. We handle various types of timber and plywood depending on what the customer wants. It's a simple life of measuring twice and cutting once. We keep the tea kettle going in the corner and try to get through the orders before the sun goes down. The neighborhood has changed a lot, but our little corner remains pretty much the same.
