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?
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
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
But won't you need a good carpenter then? How do you get one?
Check out carpenter/furniture listing on Google if you don't know any locally and ask for their designs and check their workshops.
Olx or Facebook marketplace is a great way of buying stuff sustainably
Are they reliable?
Up to you to pick carefully. I usually look for specific terms like "move out" "abroad" "teak" etc. A bit more work than urban latter or the likes of it, but I have found out that I find decent stuff at great prices and also helps out someone else too.
