Planning a trip to China to buy furniture? See it in Jaipur first
Before you book a buying trip for office or home furniture, compare cost and quality at our Jaipur showroom. What to weigh, and what to bring.
Many offices, hotels and families in Rajasthan consider a buying trip abroad when they furnish a new space. It can look like the way to get luxury furniture at a lower cost. Before you book the tickets, spend an afternoon at our showroom in Jaipur. You may find that the trip is not needed.
What a catalogue cannot tell you
A chair is chosen by sitting in it. Seat depth, the firmness of the foam, the height of the arms and how the back supports you only show up when you try it. The same goes for the finish on a desk or the stitching on a sofa. On a buying trip you see samples for a short time and then wait for the order to arrive.
The cost is more than the price tag
When furniture comes from abroad, the price you agree is only part of the bill. Add freight, customs duty, port clearing, transport to your site and the weeks the order spends in transit. If a piece arrives damaged or a size is wrong, a replacement means another shipment.
What you can do in Jaipur
At our showroom you can sit in the chairs, open the drawers and compare finishes side by side, across three brands.
- Alfa for executive and visitor chairs, executive desks, bookcases and sofas.
- LFD for lounge chairs, dining chairs, centre tables and occasional pieces for the home.
- Mack for office seating, workstations, conference tables and reception desks.
All three are made in India. Every piece comes with a one-year replacement warranty, and delivery is usually 15 to 20 days, depending on the piece.
Bring what you liked
If you have already seen something abroad, bring the photos. We will show you the closest pieces we carry, in the room in front of you, so you can compare cost and quality before you decide.
