We've bought multiple pieces of furniture from this wonderful business! The teak wood is sturdy and beautiful, we've had a table and cabinet for over 10 years and they are in perfect condition despite being in a household with a kid and three cats. The owners are so friendly and helpful, it's always a joy to visit and look around at the treasures they have.
Emily, we appreciate your great feedback. We are thrilled to hear you love our pieces. Our focus is on creating long-lasting pieces at affordable prices that can be passed down through the years. Thank you for supporting us, and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Thank you Kevin. You guys are really great customers!

Love love this place. Bought several things here. Interesting and different home decor. Today I bought an old chest used by a doctor of veterinary medicine. There is a label on it. And I also bought a tapestry to go above it. Beautiful.
Thank you for coming in and leaving us encouraging words about our little shop. The teak chest you bought is an antique from Mumbai and so happy you found the beautiful tapestry to go over it. Please visit again.

I can't rave enough about this place! The furniture and decor pieces are so unique and beautiful. The owner travels overseas and comes back with tons of gorgeous antiques from India and other locations. I love that they are giving new life to old pieces. We get compliments all the time on the things we have purchased from Baba.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I truly appreciate them. I am just getting ready to leave for India and Indonesia. Please come and visit soon.

We searched for 2 years to find the perfect bookcase and entry cabinet for our condo. Within 24 hrs of going into Baba we had exactly what we wanted and both pieces were set up in our home. Priti and James could not have been more helpful and went above and beyond to get the perfect furniture for us. Priti found us exactly what we had been searching for. We had size constraints and she was able to show us precisely what we needed. James shared his passion for history with us and we are confident we have 2 lovely pieces with an interesting background. I wish we would have gone to Baba sooner!! It was so simple to find what we were looking for with the help from Priti and James. An added perk was their employee Stephen who assisted us in moving the pieces. We highly recommend Baba if you are looking for a special piece, reasonable price and fantastic customer service.
Hello Tina and Chris. Thank you for your wonderful words. All of us at Baba appreciate it very much. Hope to see you guys again soon.
