Where do you buy furniture from?

Just Ikea or Wakefit is fine if you’re not looking to invest for the next 10 years They look decent and their quality holds itself at least for 2-3 years, whereas local furniture makers I’ve seldom found to be trustworthy

Ikea or Urban Ladder Ikea - Quality 10/10 Design 10/10 Choices 5/10 UrbanLadder - Quality - Aggregated Model so be careful(Dnt buy Bhunsa Material - Get in writtern if they clain MDF or Marine Ply - MDF is Okay if you are looking for 2-5 year) Design 10/10 Choices 10/10 In my town few second hand seller sells furniture and price is very decent - Once upon a time i spotted pure Saaag Wood Bed in 10-15 k but original price is more than Lakhs

Homecentre and wakefit

Ikea always

Furnishka - Stanley quality furniture at super cheap cost

There is a great shop called National Furniture in HSR. Bought a bed and dining from them which is of great wood and finish quality. Their prices are higher than what you find in Shivajinagar etc, but still lower than the branded ones. And I feel the quality is right up there with the premium guys

I did my entire house with Ikea. Trust me, they’re good.

IKEA

Olx or Facebook marketplace is a great way of buying stuff sustainably

I don't get why people recommend IKEA. There stuff looks pretty basic. If you want something fancy then check some of the designer furniture shops and then get it made by a local carpenter/manufacturer

Furniture is the biggest scam in bangalore, if not in whole country. I wanted to purchase a double bed, the shop owner told me that the head, leg board, one of the side logs are teak and rest are ply wood. But it turned our the entire bed was made of novopan boards. There is no way one could find that out even with closer inspection. Unless you knew where to look for. He quoted 65K for that. By luck i spoke to a friend who showed how to check it. When i did the check, the shop guy got pissed out and literally told me to go away and not waste time. I dont trust of these fuckers anymore. There is not a decent carpenter in BLR, Most of them are from bengal/bangaldeshi. They are capable of only making wardrobes only, they cut the plywood and join it. They have no skill beyond that. You ask them to build something, they will never accept they dont know, instead they will quote idiotic numbers just for you to say no. I hire a carpenter from my my hometown buy the log and custom build it. Its twice expensive. But have peace of mind. Atleast you know you are getting a furniture from natural wood. not some shitty novopan boards priced at teak wood.
