How This Data Is Sourced

METHODOLOGY

Methodology

Each count comes from that brand's own official store locator, not a shared feed. Every brand runs on its own check cycle, so collection dates don't align chain to chain, so see the source list below.

Chain Source Locator
Home Centre Home Centre
Royal Furniture Royal Furniture
Pan Home Pan Home
Danube Home Danube Home
IKEA IKEA

Accuracy

Stores open and close throughout the year. Each count is a snapshot as of 2026, not live, so directionally accurate, not exact. Larger chains carry the widest margin.

Definitions

Inclusion follows home furnishing classification, not shelf contents. Home Centre, Royal Furniture, Pan Home and Danube Home are home furnishing chains covering furniture, decor and household goods, while IKEA is a Swedish home assembly retailer with showrooms in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Fujairah.
