RP Furniture is a family sofa workshop. We are not a showroom that orders from somewhere else and puts a sticker on it — the timber comes into our yard, it is seasoned in our racks, and it leaves as a sofa built by people whose names we can tell you.
Almost everything about buying a sofa in Nepal is designed to keep you from knowing what you are buying. Prices are quoted only after somebody has looked at your clothes. The foam is described with a number nobody explains. The frame is invisible by the time you see it. And if the seat collapses in year three, the shop has changed its name.
So we have built this website the other way round. Every model shows a starting-from price in rupees, on the page, before you speak to anybody. Every product page tells you the foam density, the frame timber, the joinery and the stitch. Every sofa we deliver carries a label with a serial number, and that number opens a record on this site showing the karigar who built it, the fabric batch, the foam batch and how much warranty is left. We call it the Karigar Ledger, and as far as we know no other furniture maker in Nepal does it.
Why RP
Seasoned wood, not fresh wood
Sal timber sits in our racks for at least a year before it becomes a frame. Green wood twists as it dries, and a twisted frame is where a creak comes from. You cannot see this in a finished sofa, which is exactly why most workshops skip it.
Foam we can defend
32-density seat foam over a 40-density support layer as standard; 40-density right through on long sofas, sofa-beds, recliners and all commercial work. Ask us for an offcut of the actual foam going into your sofa and we will hand it to you.
Karigars, not machines
Twelve people work here. The longest-serving has been at this bench for nineteen years. Every sofa is finished by one named person, and that name goes on the label — with their agreement, and with the right to take it off.
What Nepal actually buys

What customers say
We had a fixed budget of one lakh twenty and we had been to six shops where nobody would tell us a price. Here the price was on the website before we called. We asked for the three-seater eight centimetres shorter because of a door and it cost nothing extra. My mother-in-law asked where we had bought it, which is the review that actually mattered in our house.
My previous sofa collapsed in the middle after twelve years, and honestly I expected to be fooled again. I went to the workshop and pushed a bare frame with my own hands before I paid anything. They let me keep a piece of the foam. Two years in, it is still flat. That is all I wanted.
I furnished three flats. Same sofa, three times, delivered in one week and all three actually matched — which sounds obvious until you have had it go wrong. Tenants are hard on furniture and the fabric they suggested for rentals has held up better than the one I would have picked myself.
Twenty-four lobby seats, eight lounge sofas, one dye lot, phased against our fit-out programme, VAT invoice with no argument. They told me in advance which fabric would not take fire-retardant treatment properly instead of just agreeing with me. We opened on the date we planned.
I can put this website on a laptop in front of a client and have three options with real prices on screen in about a minute. Nobody else in this market lets me do that. The drawings come back the same week and the delivery dates have been honest, including the one time they told me it would be late — before it was late.
Protected territory, one price list, no undercutting me on their own website. I have been a dealer for other brands where all three of those things went wrong. Two years now and it has not.
From the workshop
We are in the Kathmandu Valley and we deliver free inside Ring Road. We build for families, for landlords furnishing rentals, for hotels and cafés who need twenty-four identical chairs that are genuinely identical, for interior designers who need drawings and dependable dates, and for dealers in Butwal, Biratnagar, Pokhara and Birgunj who need a protected territory and a margin they can plan around.
The workshop is open any working morning. You do not need an appointment and you do not need to be buying anything. Come and push a bare frame with your hand, squeeze two grades of foam, and talk to the person who would build your sofa. That twenty minutes will tell you more than any website can — including this one.
