PG and Hostel Furniture: Bed Boxes, Almirahs and Study Tables That Survive Tenants
Short answer: PG and hostel furniture gets hard use and frequent tenant changes, so make it in 18mm BWR plywood with hard-wearing laminate, thick edge band, heavy-duty hinges and a lock for every tenant's storage. One tenant's set (a single bed box, a 3 ft almirah and a study table) takes about 4 sheets of 18mm, 2 of 12mm and 1 of 6mm (estimate). For a whole building, call +91-9212017608 for a bulk quote.
"Bed box PG near me" is a real search: PG owners in Delhi furnish many rooms at once and want furniture that doesn't need fixing every time a tenant leaves.

For 10 double-sharing rooms (20 tenants), that's about 80 × 18mm, 40 × 12mm and 20 × 6mm, plus about 10% extra. Standard sizes in every room cut waste: the same cut list repeats.
Making it tenant-proof
- 18mm everywhere that takes weight or screws; no MDF or particle board in beds and shutters.
- Hard-wearing matt laminate in a dark or wood-grain shade that hides marks.
- Thick (2mm) edge band on edges that get knocked.
- Heavy-duty hinges (5 per 7 ft shutter) and good locks: hinges guide.
- Bed box lids in two parts, with handles, so tenants don't pry them open.
- BWR grade on ground floors and in rooms with attached bathrooms.
- Same design in every room, so a damaged shutter can be replaced from a spare.
