Modular furniture

V and I fixed two wardrobes in the last few days. I was always fascinated with the thought and ability make up my own furniture. I could experience this first hand. Ofcourse this is all EXTREMELY modular furniture.
One understands the real meaning of modular furniture here. Everything comes in a box - pieces of boards, nails, pins, screws, glue, instructions...then on, you are on your own. It is quite hard to go wrong if the instructions are followed well. There are precise number of screws, precise holes, slits...

We have a lot of modular furniture being sold in various furniture stores in India now. But how often have you heard of people ripping off their modular kitchen (after spending a fortune on it) and taking it with themselves to their next house? (Come to think of it, we in India invest in a modular kitchen only in our 'own' houses, only when we are sure we are going to live there for a long time) If the size doesnt match to the 'T' they plug and play/ add - subtract stuff to fit it to the new size.

Thats how 'modular' the furniture here is.

With the first wardrobe, we took about 3 hours. Hey!! it was the first time we were doing anything of the sort. The next one was done in half the time.
We are now good to offer our services :)
