We Really Are a Different Kind of Furniture Store Occasionally, we're asked why we put this picture on our website's Home Page Splash Screen. That's because we like to remind people that our store is a true liquidation warehouse and not a traditional showroom. Yes, we have beautiful and unique furniture along with budget items like those shown on our website, but these often may be found in crowded isles bustling with other furniture, workers and customers. We try our best, but our store is like 15 homes moving in and and 15 homes moving out a day. But if you have a little bit of imagination and a sense of adventure, you'll be able furnish your entire home here and be like many of our repeat customers over 30 years that have saved thousands of dollars in the process.
