Why Furniture Prices Vary So Much in Uganda
You can find a bed in Kampala for 300,000 Uganda shillings. You can also find one for 3,000,000 shillings. Both are called "beds." The difference is quality of timber, craftsmanship, hardware, and where it was made.
This guide gives you realistic price ranges for locally manufactured furniture in Uganda — the kind built in workshops in Kigo, Kireka, and Ntinda — so you know what to expect before you visit a showroom.

What Pushes the Price Up
- Timber quality — hardwood costs more but lasts far longer than softwood or chipboard
- Finishing — high-gloss lacquer and veneer finishes cost more than basic paint
- Hardware — quality gas-lift mechanisms, drawer runners and hinges add to cost but also to durability
- Custom size — standard sizes cost less than custom dimensions
- Upholstery — leather fabric costs significantly more than suede or linen
