Wood World

You'll find Wood World a complete answer to all your home-furnishing needs - that is, if you are able to find it. From across the road to Ohri's Basheerbagh, you might catch a glimpse of the top of the chairs through a glass panel on the first-floor of a massive building. Though your eyes will not be riveted on it as hardly any display is visible, you might read the interesting name of Wood World, and develop a longing to venture inside. Yes, you need a life.

Locate its entrance, and don't be put off by the leading-to-warehouse appearance of the stairs. After overcoming these initial tests, you will not go unrewarded. From low-lying couches to towering cabinets, and from Malaysian wood to Indian teak and everything else in between, you'll find it all here.

There are teak wood sofa-sets in contemporary designs priced between Rs. 22,000 and Rs. 35,000, dining table sets between Rs. 17,000 and Rs. 25,000, and beds priced at Rs. 7,000 and above. Some office furniture, including chairs that start at Rs. 500 and desks at Rs. 1,700, are also available. The computer tables start at Rs. 2,200, and coffee tables with glass tops are priced at Rs. 4,500 and above.

Wood World also provide its services for repair and upholstering sofa-sets, and can also make your furniture on order. The shop is big and spacious, though lacking in elegance or lighting. At Wood World, you may not find exactly every piece that you desire, but then you can find plenty to balance your home space, without disturbing your scales.
