Own workshop, Basni, Jodhpur
Beds, sofas, dining sets, wardrobes, study tables, coffee tables and jhoolas in sheesham and mango wood. Every piece has its size in centimetres and its price on this page. Try the pieces in your own room before you order.
The range
Sizes are width × depth × height in centimetres. Prices are in rupees with GST and a natural oil finish. Pick a room or a wood to narrow the list.
No piece matches this room and wood. Try another wood or choose all rooms.
Room planner
Enter your room in feet, add pieces from the range, and drag them into place. The plan shows overlaps, pieces outside the walls and a walkway check. Nothing leaves your device.
Drag a piece, or tab to it and use the arrow keys (0.5 ft a step, Shift for 2 ft). R rotates, Delete removes. The pale edge of each piece is its front. Grid lines are 1 ft apart.
Walkway rule: keep 2.5 ft clear in front of every bed, sofa and jhoola, measured from the foot of the bed or the seat edge, and clear of other furniture (a coffee table may sit there). Keep the door swing free.
Nothing selected. Pick a piece on the plan or in the list.
Woods and finishes
Every piece is solid wood, with no particle board or veneer on show. Wood is air-dried for a year, then kiln-dried, before it reaches the saw.
Indian rosewood. Dense and heavy, with dark streaks that differ from board to board. Our choice for beds, sofas, wardrobes and anything that carries weight.
Lighter in weight and colour, with a calm, even grain. A good choice for bedside tables, chairs, benches and bookcases, and a little kinder on the price.
A warm golden-brown polish on sheesham or mango. The wood underneath is not teak, and we say so on every bill. It costs the same as the natural oil finish.
Finishes are hand-rubbed oil or melamine-free polish. Ask for a sample block at the showroom, because screens change colour.
Bed rails, table legs and chair frames. The tongue is glued deep into the slot.
Drawer corners. The angled teeth lock, so the drawer front does not pull off.
Wardrobe panels and table tops. Boards float, so they swell and shrink without cracking.
Made to order
Any listed piece can be built in a size we do not stock, in either wood and any finish. A custom size costs 10% more than the listed price.
Bring your room plan from this page, or we visit within Jodhpur and measure for free.
You get a dimensioned drawing in two days. Changes are free until you approve it.
We ask for 30% in advance. The piece takes about 5 weeks from approval.
The finish cures for a week in the workshop. We deliver and assemble.
Delivery and assembly
Our own tempo and two fitters bring the piece up the stairs and put it together. Assembly is free everywhere we deliver in Rajasthan.
From the showroom book
Three notes from the last month, with the buyer's role and town.
The queen bed came in two pieces and was fitted in an hour. After a monsoon it has not creaked once.
I used the room planner to find out the sofa and jhoola would not both fit. We swapped to the two-seater and it was right.
They built the wardrobe 6 cm narrower for our wall niche and the drawing matched the piece exactly.
Visit
The showroom is at the front of the workshop, so you can watch a piece being made and see the woods side by side.
