A lot of shops around Marathahalli don't seem trustworthy and I have also heard bad experiences of people such as advance paid and furniture delivered too late or poor quality or not to specifications. What are your recommendations?

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

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.

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
