Sofa Sets are the basic requirements for any comfort Kenyan home but more often, people fail to spend much on furniture because their budget is tight. In most cases, expensive furniture take time to get buyers because those who are willing to purchase them are less than 1 % of Kenyan population.
Research shows that Kenyans in major towns spend average of Ksh 30,000 on sofa sets. Only a few spend over Ksh100, 000.
The various popular shops we surveyed had sofa sets costing Ksh 60,000-Ksh250, 000, prices slightly less than half the most expensive sofa set in Kenya. We managed to locate the most expensive furniture, and it was in a popular furniture store in Westlands Nairobi. The furniture, made of mahogany tree, was going for Ksh 999, 000, and has stayed in the shop for 6 months.This is a 5 sitter furniture made of mahogany timber and leather covers.
