Bubli Furniture

Shop No. 23 is where we are, right near Bharat Furniture. Look for the place with sawdust on the floor if you are trying to find us. Cutting wood and hammering nails takes up most of our time during the week. It gets loud during the day, so we often have to shout just to be heard. Chairs are stacked in the corners, making it a bit crowded to walk around the shop floor. My father started this shop years ago, and now I work alongside him to keep it going. We make practical furniture that people use every day in their homes. It isn't meant to be art; it's just sturdy tables and stools. Hand tools are used for a lot of the work, which means a lot of sweat goes into every piece. The neighborhood is good, and we often talk with the other shop owners on the street. If a saw breaks, someone usually has a spare we can borrow for a while. Our sign is just the number 23 on the door. Word of mouth is how most people hear about us. We don't spend anything on ads because there is already enough work to keep us busy. Every week a truck brings in fresh wood, and we have to carry it all inside ourselves. It makes for a sore back, but that is just part of the job. When the sun goes down, we sweep up and head home for the night.
