MANY PEOPLE CHOOSE TO SHOP

FOR THEIR HOME ITEMS FROM ONLINE STORES THAT THEY DON’T

HAVE LOCALLY, in hopes to find something unique that their friends or family members don’t have. As great as the decorative pieces will look in your house, it is also good to support your local vendors for more opportunit­ies to arise in your hometown.

local economy

Supporting local businesses puts money back into the area economy. That in turn improves the quality of life for every resident — including your family. In the long run, your business will mean more local jobs because independen­t local furniture businesses employ area residents to help them run their companies.

Local retailers and distributo­rs also carry a higher percentage of locally produced goods than chains, and that means American-made products can easily make their way into your home.

quality products and service

Your local furniture business owners usually don’t mass-produce their furniture, so the quality can be exceptiona­l. They take the time and effort to truly create custom, well-crafted pieces such as, popular outdoor wooden furniture or heavy, rich dining room tables.

The owners also know the preferred styles of the locals. They choose quality furniture that suits the local environmen­t, such as coastal living or the countrysid­e. Even if your style doesn’t fit the local flavor, they generally carry options for all tastes or can order whatever pieces align with your preference­s.

community impact

A lot of local furniture business owners are our neighbors, which means they invest their savings and lives pursuing their American dream in your neighborho­od. They play a key role in your community as they support local charities or serve on local boards.Your support reinforces their efforts.
