Tara Furniture Works

You can find us in Goregaon West, right across from where the Lijjat Company Papad factory is. It’s a busy part of the road with lots of trucks and people moving around all day. We do furniture work here, mostly repairs and making custom pieces when someone asks. The shop is filled with the smell of sawdust and wood glue. There are pieces of wood stacked against the walls and tools scattered on the workbenches. It isn’t the cleanest place, but that’s what a workshop looks like. We spend most of our hours cutting, sanding, and polishing. Some days it’s very hot, and the fans don’t do much, but we keep at it. People from the nearby apartments bring in their broken chairs or old cupboards that need a new look. We don’t have a showroom with fancy lights. If you want to see what we do, you just have to look at what’s currently on the floor being worked on. We’ve been in this spot for years, and most people use the Lijjat factory as the landmark to find us. It’s hard work and our hands are always rough from the wood, but it’s what we know how to do. Sometimes a job takes longer than we thought because the wood is tricky, but we try to be honest with people about the time.
