Ahaa Furniture Store, Bangalore

We made all our wooden furniture at Ahaa store for our house at Adarsh Palm Retreat, five years ago. Furniture were customized to our need and have served as very well. Good quality and regular post sale service by Abhijit and team!

1. Designs goofed up and they just don't listen to you

   
   




2. Material ok type not genuine

   
   




3. After sales response zero, fake and false promises

   
   




4. Very high prices in the name of GST and they trick you into additional costs saying you can opt for quality stuff

   
   




5. Damages high even in new products and totally non responsive when inquired

   
   




6. Incomplete work in terms of finishing

   
   

Overall waste of money, time and energy. Recommend not to get tricked.

Having gone through the website and then a personal visit to their showroom where we met the couple, our search for an interior designer and furniture makers happily ended based on all the good things we were told that day. We chose to go with Ahaa! And thus began our journey of mixed emotions – excitement, eagerness, curiosity, stress, continuous follow up, long hours of waiting – all spread over the entire process, starting with site visit to check on our needs, initial measurement-taking visit, meetings to decide on laminates & shades, final measurement-taking visit, factory visit by customer to check & then of course the final installation.

To be fair, the products are of good quality and the workmanship is above average however the overall experience could have been better. Their staff commit to timelines that they often miss resulting in unnecessary stress.

If they can adhere to the below things it would make lot of difference in making Ahaa a household name:

a) Visit customer site personally(at least once) to check on the product delivered. Not relying completely on the Manager.

b) Avoid justifying the delays at their end and instead blaming the customers for it.

c) Adjust the money / payment schedules as per the customer’s requirement. Especially when work is incomplete.

d) Stop shifting responsibilities to the manager and co-owners(for kitchen work). Take ownership. For the customer Ahaa is one, the expectation wasn’t for us to deal with two different people for kitchen and the rest of the stuff.

e) When you recommend / introduce us to vendors such as granite dealers, don’t wash off responsibility when something goes wrong. We agreed to deal with them coz they claim to have done a lot of projects with you etc. so there’s a certain expectation.

f) Regularly send updates on WhatsApp and email as and when your furniture is getting ready as claimed in the website. We did not receive any such updates.

So, my bad experience with Ahaa goes a long way back - a few years ago AND recently.

About 5-6 years ago, when I'd got my dining table, and the entire furniture of my son's room done from this store which is run by a couple, the edges of my son's bed were extremely sharp. Anyone who might have hit it, would've landed severe cuts - the kind that need stitches.

While the couple agreed and seemed to understand, they did nothing to send anyone to fix it after repeated calling.

This was my first brush with them.

Few weeks ago, I go back, because I know that their wood and finish was of a good quality, expecting that service would be better this time. Sadly, I was wrong.

I interacted with their manager, Mr Sridhar. Placed the order for a side board, selected the design and said would send the advance across. I was delayed, and sent the advance a week later, by when Mr Sridhar did not even remember/save the design I'd finalised.

I searched it out all over again. The order went through, and I was made to pay the entire amount before delivery. After repeated requests to send the delivery on time, the people arrived late on both days they stopped delivery. I had to drop my appointment in half and come back to take the order, only to realise that it was missing a shelf, which was clearly part of the order.

To make things worse, instead of having me select the knobs and handles beforehand, I was sent the knobs and handles home, and the people say in my house and drilled it then, making a mess, and taking up my time which otherwise could've been saved.

I have called them time and again to follow up on the shelf that is still to arrive, with no definite reply, even after I was promised that it would be done within a day or two. It's been a week now.

While there furniture and designs clearly outdo their levels of service, I wouldn't recommend anyone to expect any after sale service from this store!

Hi. I am Vibha from Whitefields. Shifting to a new house I wanted as, any new things in terms of furniture as possible. After extensive Google search and many rounds to furniture store we came across this jewel AHAA. A family run store with their own factory was the perfect solution for my needs and budget. We spoke to the owner( mr Abhijit) and found him very convincing on the phone and subsequently met him in his store. Both me n my husband knew this is what we were looking for. In a couple of round of meetings we froze on our requirements which they custom made for us. Before delivery we were asked to come to their factory and see everything thing at the carpentary stage. We were glad we did as one or two items had to be redone due to some last minute changes in our requirements and some issues at their end. But these people were very helpful and did the job spot on. This did lead to some delay but at the end after spending our money it was absolutely worth it. Thank u ahaa. Sitting on the sofa after picking up a book from the book rack or showing off the bar unit to friends is sheer pleasure, thanks and all the best. Wish we had come earlier and got the kitchen done from u as well.next time .

Ahaa has their own manufacturing facility in Bangalore. You're allowed to visit the factory even before placing an order. Customers are taken to a guided tour of the store with passion. You get a clear understanding of the products, technology and material used.

Recently purchased furniture from Ahaa furniture for my new home.

Ahaa furniture did a fantastic job customising it as per our requirements. The finish was excellent and it was delivered on time. Everyone visiting my home praises the furniture.

Would highly recommend Ahaa to anyone who is looking for good quality furniture at reasonable rates.

The store itself has a large range of furniture and they also offer customisation based on specific requirements

Delivery is on time and we have the flexibility of choosing the fabric, colour of polish and laminate.

Thank you Ahaa for a job well done.

I was looking for a proper wooden sofa and visited many stores, outlets across Bangalore.

Visited many stores, saw designs with varied price ranges, many of them giving good discounts. I was confused and searching internet and eventually came across https://ahaa.in.

Read reviews and finally visited their showroom. The shop owner Mr. Abhijit was very courteous and happily explained the different types of woods and shown us catalogs and told us that they can do customization as per our requirement. I had my own design of the sofa and when I shared the same they were readily accepted that and suggested valid modifications based on my requirements.

Regarding pricing, one thing I found impressive that they don't have any option for bargains, they have fixed price. Somehow my hunch was that they might provide the right type of wood whatever they claim and gain confidence while discussing with Mr. Abhijit.

Finally placed the order. They do have a process of mandatory visit at their workshop to inspect the sofa before they start the polishing, which is a good opportunity for any buyer to see what kind of wood they uses and if you want any modification/rectification, you can ask for that. In fact, I have asked for some modification and they accepted and did the needful.

It took a month to get my sofa, however I am satisfied with the outcome. It’s really good looking and fulfilled my choice. They did a very good job and I am impressed too.

Last but not the least, I would recommend the Ahaa shop for wooden furniture, I feel that they are reliable. Whatever they claim they will give that, and things are very open and clear and I like that approach.

Little did I know when I bought a dining table from them that their after sales service would be nil. After eight years I wanted the upholstery to be changed and called the store multiple times. Inspite of repeated assurances that a personnel would call me back I have got no calls from them even after following up with them on whats app. Disappointed to say the least. Would never buy furniture from them and will advice all not to do the same

We bought a bunk bed from Ahaa just a week ago. It's magnificent. It's smells awesome. It's the best custom made design for a bunk bed I've ever come across. My boy(7) and girl(4) are in love with it. I nap on the top bunk at every opportunity I get. And my father-in-law too couldn't resist climbing up to the top bunk to have a feel of what he missed doing while he was a child! There were many Wow!s when the bed arrived home.

Our primary requirement was that of a bunk bed which could be separated into two should the need arise as the kids grow. With Abhijit's help we had a solid pinewood bunk bed with the lower bed designed as a separable day bed. The head room between the two beds is more than sufficient for adults too. The ladder(which I think is one pain point in a bunk bed) is replaced by a stairway with abundant storage on the sides. The lower bed comes with a large drawer unit under the bed. The railings on the top bed are very sturdy and high for safety. The factory visit, delivery and assembly were organised well.

Also, this is our second purchase from Ahaa. The first one was a teak wood extra large double cot for the master bedroom bought 5 years ago.

I would highly recommend Ahaa for any custom designed solid wood furniture.

This is Sunitha Jairam. I got to know of the Ahaan store online and after crossing checking with some friends if they knew about it I got mixed reviews about them. But still decided to go with my own judgement. Firstly I am very happy I did and wish I had come across them earlier. I really liked their store which although looks small is quite huge as its split in two floors. I quite liked their manager and was impressed with owner, Abhijit, .He knows his product and helped us design what we were looking for(a bar for our drawing room and basic furniture for the guest room). The quality was of the workmanship was good . We inspected the furniture at his workshop which he insisted we do and although there was some issue he sorted those out and delivered the things a few days late. But that's ok sometimes. My only wish is he is not as inflexible about his payment system. I don't think anyone will not pay after getting things delivered to their house, he insists on complete payment befor delivery. Anyways .i am quite happy with my stuff and thank you Abhijit.

I was looking for Teak wood sofa set for my house and had zeroed in either Maharaja Furniture or Ahaa Furniture, since these two seemed one of the best shops for teak wood.

I visited both the shops and found the design of Ahaa more contemporary and modern according to my liking. Mr Abhijit, owner, was upfront in explaining the various wood types, finishing of a product, pricing and the time required.

We immediately ordered for our sofa set and was told 4 weeks of time to complete the procedure and we need to inspect the sofa before taking over. Since we had earlier made teak wood sofa for our house, we knew generally it takes minimum of 4 weeks to finish and we were fine with that.

It took us 6 weeks for the sofas to be delivered to our house, reason being during inspection we wanted to decrease the normal height of sofa(so the inspect option really worked for us), Mr. Sridhar took care of that.

Next is the finish of the product, it was "just awesome" without any degree of exaggeration.They delivered by stairs(4th floor) since the lift was not able to accommodate, there were some minor scratches while doing so. The Ahaa folks worked almost 1 hour redoing the minor scratches to make it perfect. Overall I had a great experience and is recommended from my side.

After lot of research  in March 2016 I visited Ahaa Furniture store. My requirement was a King Size teak solid wood cot.  The owner of the store Mr. Abhijit himself sat with us, guided through the catalogue  showed wooden block samples and display furniture. His approach was very positive & beyond our expectation.

Pleased with his approach we not only purchased the Cot but also ordered teak wood dining'side hutch' & also a'cot side table'. We also visited  their factory to inspect our items before polishing. The employees were very cooperative & guided through the items. Mr.Shridhar who is at their showroom attended to my calls promptly, was polite & very cooperative.

Finally, we received all our items in time as promised and were brought to our place with extreme care and fixed neatly. The finishing of items was excellent and the quality was much better than our expectation. We are extremely pleased with the quality of wood, workmanship & quality of their service.

Mr. Abhijit is very sincere in approach & used to answer all my queries on whatsapp the very next minute. I don't have any hesitation in giving them five star rating and would recommend them for any one, looking for quality solid wood furniture.

If you are looking for someone for whom creating furniture masterpieces with wood is child's play, look no further! If it can be done they would do it. Totally positive attitude and open for anything.

Having previously experienced their expertise on a dining table set, we had gone to Ahaa for a bedroom set and a standing shelf.

This standing shelf was just an idea based on another shelf we had seen online. Our requirement was to create the shelf based on our idea to fit a gap in my wall. The design of the shelf too was really complex. But, Ahaa pulled it off effortlessly. The shelf came out even better than we had imagined. Kudos to Abhijit and Manohar for their brilliant work!

We met Abhijith and Harshala, loaded with our ideas.  After a few sit-down sessions with them and their inputs, we were able to get what we had in mind. The units had all come out super:) The sheer time spent on understanding our ideas, utilitarian needs, on site discussions, multiple email exchanges, accommodating last minute changes - Kudos to Abhijith and his team for the work.

The on-site polishing team need to give attention to detail in their work. Abhijith taking special interest for our mantle piece's tile work needs a special mention here. Would definitely recommend Ahaa. Overall a great experience with Ahaa team!

I have bought a dining table set(1 table+ 4 chairs) with my specs, However, there was a glitch in taking the table inside the home. However, Ahaa got this redone as a modular one, and assembled in the premises very neatly. The chairs are finished with excellent quality with a clear coat of melamine polish.

Overall, I am satisfied with the quality of service and the product.

I found their furniture were pretty expensive compared to other stores. I ordered a few items, everything seemed good till then.

Before placing the order I was told they will deliver in 3 to 4 weeks. After I paid 50% money while placing the order, they changed it to 5 to 6 weeks delivery. I started following up after 4 weeks. Finally after so many calls, the inspection got over on the 7th week. And I paid the remaining 50% money.

My final piece of advise is - If you have 2+ months spare time and patience you can order at Ahaa.

I recently bought a 3+ 1+ 1 magazine sofa from Ahaa. The final result was beyond my expectation. Very neatly made finished to perfection. I would recommend this store for everyone.You can customize according to ur need

They have used best cushions/cushion clothing. It is real value for money. There was a little brown patch on one of the cushions, that's the only issue I faced.

Someone who is looking for long lasting furniture, should visit this place before buying.

I am a resident of Pebble Bay and have recently bought wardrobes for 2 rooms, a full kitchen, a bar unit, book shelf and some other lose furniture and am very happy and content after spending my money.

It started with me reading MouthShut reviews and a call to the owner, Abhijit. My husband and I were invited to their showroom, given numerous options and then taken to their factory in Mysore road. The best thing I liked about them was that I was kept informed about the status of work as n when I called and inquired, I had the opportunity of seeing my furniture being made at every stage of production.

The only thing that was a little nagging was Abhijit's refusal to deliver before our final inspection and full payment. Although the inspection was a good idea cos there was a minor polish issue which they rectified and then sent the goods, saving them n us a hassle later on.

I would recommend Ahaa to anybody and everybody.
