Attractive furniture such as golden beds made of teak wood, swings and sofa sets have drawn the interest of a lot of visitors. The customers are also happy to purchase the items of their choice from such a big collection.
Many even joined a race for taking selfies and pictures sitting on the swings. The price of a gold painted cradle has been set at Tk175,000, but a 15 percent discount is also being offered.
