No. There are no accounts, carts or card forms. You talk to a real person on WhatsApp, ask anything you like, and only pay once everything is confirmed.

The price shown is the price of the furniture. Delivery is charged separately and depends on your area — see the delivery fees by area. We always confirm the delivery fee before you pay. Prices can change, so we confirm the current price when you order.

You can read our reviews from real customers on Google, and our name and phone number are the same on our website, Google profile, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Pinterest. Ask us for extra photos or a video of any piece before you order. Read our guide on buying furniture online in Kenya safely.

Yes. We deliver across Nairobi and to other towns in Kenya, including Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu, Mombasa, Nyeri and Meru (KSh 120 per kilometre outside the Nairobi areas on our delivery fee list). See delivery across Kenya. Tell us your location and we'll confirm the delivery fee and date.

Delivery is not free — the fee depends on your area: from KSh 1,000 (e.g. Sukari, Wendani) to KSh 4,500 (e.g. Ngong, Rongai, Kitengela) around Nairobi, and KSh 120 per kilometre further away. Check the fee to your area in seconds. We always confirm the exact fee on WhatsApp before you pay, so there are no surprises.

Sofas, L-seats and upholstered beds usually take about 4 days to make. Woodwork (wooden beds, dining tables, TV stands, wardrobes and other wooden furniture) takes 1–2 weeks. We then deliver on the day we agree with you, and we confirm the exact delivery day when you order.

Beds, wardrobes and dining sets can be assembled for you when they're delivered — just ask when you order.

Measure your door, corridor, stairs or lift before ordering and send us the measurements. Large L-seats and U-shaped sofas are usually made in sections that join together, which makes them much easier to carry in. We'll advise before we start making your piece.

Many of our pieces can be made in different sizes, fabrics and colours. Send us the product and what you'd like to change, and we'll confirm what's possible and the price.

An L-seat (L-shaped sofa) has two sides that meet in a corner — it fits neatly into the corner of a room. A U-shaped sofa has three sides, seating more people and creating a cosy, enclosed sitting area — it suits larger living rooms. See our L-seat buying guide.

Stand facing the sofa. If the long chaise side is on your left, it's left-facing; if it's on your right, it's right-facing. Send us a photo of your corner and we'll help you choose.

A bubble sofa has soft, rounded, generously padded shapes and deep seats — often called a "cloud" sofa. Read more about bubble sofas.

Kenyan beds are measured in feet: 3x6, 4x6, 5x6 and 6x6 (width × length). A 5x6 is the most popular size for couples; 6x6 gives the most space. See our bed sizes guide.

A chester (chesterfield) bed has a deep, button-tufted padded headboard — a classic, luxurious look.

Corduroy is soft, textured and very forgiving with children and pets. Velvet looks rich and glamorous and suits statement pieces. Compare corduroy and velvet.

You choose. Frames can be made in mvule, mahogany, cypress and other woods, and cushions in high-density foam, memory foam, springs or fibre. Mvule and mahogany are hardwoods for the longest life; cypress is a more affordable option. Each product page lists the material and dimensions of that piece, and we confirm the frame, foam and fabric before you order. See mvule vs mahogany vs cypress.

Yes. Our furniture is made by our own team in Kenya, so it can be made to your size and repaired or re-upholstered later. See locally made vs imported furniture.

Yes. Send us the photo, Pinterest or Instagram link with your measurements, and we quote a price and delivery date. See custom furniture in Nairobi.

Yes. Our furniture comes with a 6-month warranty. Please also check every piece on delivery and send photos on WhatsApp within 48 hours if anything isn't right.

Check your furniture when it's delivered, before our team leaves. If something is damaged or isn't what you ordered, send us photos on WhatsApp within 48 hours of delivery and we'll make it right.

Vacuum weekly with a soft brush, blot spills straight away with a clean damp cloth (don't rub), and keep the sofa out of strong direct sun. Read our full sofa care guide.

Yes — ask us for extra photos or a video of the exact piece on WhatsApp. You can also find us on Google Maps; message us before you come so we can have your piece ready.
