01/22/13 - We thought you might enjoy this true story about something interesting that happened this week. As many of you are aware, most Hollywood movie production companies shooting in the area regularly visit our Warren and Livernois Stores for props and stage settings. Last week, two young guys came into the Warren Store looking for a few grandfather and mantle clocks for a one day video shoot. As they made their way thru the store, they began picking out more and more items and we learned they were doing a music video shoot at the Masonic Termple in Detroit. After adding about 20 more high end items and arranging the rental fee with delivery, we later learned that the music video was for the group Insane Clown Posse. Whille none of us here were fans, we had heard about them and became a bit apprehensive. But Fred had a good feeling about the two guys (Rob and Scott) that were responsible for the production and we went ahead with the arrangement. The furniture rental for the production was for one day, so when our guys went to pick it up we were very impressed that all the items were accounted for and were in the same condition as they were when they left the store. In fact, this was one of the most professional and responsible production teams we have ever worked with. So thanks again to Rob from Psychopathic Productions and Scott from Creature Division FX for their professionalism and responsible handling of this project.
12/31/12 - Fred's Unique Furniture would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you an enjoyable holiday and a Happy New Year. 2012 is nearing an end and it's been a remarkable year. Our business continues to change as we begin to focus on the plans for the building expansion at our Warren location in the Spring of 2013 and adjust to the impact that our website has had on our operations. Ironically, instead of making things easier, we're working more hours per day than ever and at an incredibly stressful pace. Still, at the end of the day, we try never to complain. Every day, we see close-up the problems that people from all walks of life are experiencing.. From Detroit to the most affluent suburban communities, life has been getting more difficult for so many people. As we hold our families and loved ones close this holiday season, let's take a moment to reflect on the things that unite us as people, rather than divide us, as we all go thru this difficult time. Fred and all of us who work here want to especially thank all of you that have visited our stores and regularly looked at our website throughout 2012. We look forward to seeing and talking with you again soon. Most of all, we thank many of you for the kind comments and good wishes that you've expressed to us personally and online throughout 2012. We value them more than you can imagine.
11/05/12 - If you've recently checked out our website closely, you may notice a new Picture Gallery has been added named "Might Be Here." It's located at the very end of the main Furniture Galleries for the Warren Store and immediately before our Livernois Store Galleries. There are literally hundreds of thousands of items at our Warren Store and to be completely honest, we can't keep track of everything. The new "Might Be Here" Section of our website is devoted to pictures of selected items that were taken on the date shown in the item's Description. We don't track the items in this section like we do with those shown on the rest of our website, so we can't guarantee that a specific item shown there hasn't been sold. But for those with a sense of adventure, we'll definitely make it worth your while when you find it. The "Might Be There" Gallery will primarily be devoted to smaller items that won't be displayed in other sections of our website. Check it out.... We'll be adding new pictures on a regular basis.
