I went out shopping for my furniture in Bangalore city and and I thought I must share my recent survey and experience with everyone in the City.I work with infosys and as expected have just the weekends to look up my shopping.After getting married few months ago I had this task of fitting my budget right and buying the best possible furniture in a fixed budget.I set out to buy a sofa and visited lifestyle, style spa, looking good, durian, stanley, millennium lifestyle...I was getting into depression each time I visited a new store....either the cost would be highly prohibitive as in the case of stanley, life style or style spa...or the quality tad too cheap like the looking good and poonam furniture...I found durian overpriced for the chinese stuff they are selling...
Finally I bumped into this expo held at whitefield ktpo convention centre called as The Best Rooms and I got what I wanted.This show had a large booth called as Ahaa ! the solid wood furniture store which captured my imagination. The furniture was extremely unique in styling.made up of teak wood.low furniture like an oriental design which my wife had in mind and to top it all customisable....
We placed an order for a low sofa at just 40 k and it was delivered to me within 15 days of booking the order.The staff was immaculate and I received a call once my stuff was ready and they invited me to their factory for inspection.I had some corrections made on the polish colour and the cushions after it was made and the owner obliged gracefully. After complete satisfaction I paid the amount before dispatch which was their condition and I thought was extremely fair.
I had one doubt in my mind...what if the sofa is damaged in transit ? and before I could express my doubt I got a warranty letter which mentioned that any damage in transit would be the manufacturers headache ! Wow ! I have never seen such a store in India !
And yes...i got a call for my wedding anniversary from the store lately...way to go Ahaa ! India....
