Bansal Furnishers

Our shop is tucked away in Sco-15 within the Kaula Park Commercial Complex. It is usually a bit of a squeeze inside because we try to fit as many sofas and dining tables as possible onto the floor. Sometimes it is hard for people to walk through the aisles without bumping into a corner of a bed frame. We have been here for years, and the stairs up to the unit have seen a lot of feet. The morning usually starts with us dusting off the glass table tops and making sure the cushions are straight. Kaula Park gets very busy in the evenings, so we often stay a bit late if someone is still looking at wardrobes. It gets noisy outside with all the other shops nearby, but once you are inside, it’s mostly just the sound of the ceiling fans. We don't do anything too fancy with the display; it is just furniture lined up so you can see what it is. Moving the heavy wooden pieces is the toughest part of the job, especially when a delivery comes in and we have to navigate the narrow doorway. There’s always a bit of tea being made in the back corner. Most of our regulars are neighbors or people who moved into the new flats nearby. It’s a steady kind of life, just keeping the shop open and helping people find a chair that fits their room.
