What's New in the Warehouse?

Fifty Percent Off Furniture!!!

At the risk of sounding like an annoying commercial for a bargain electronic equipment store, we’re

practically giving away the furniture you see here (and some you don’t as well)!

While we have come to appreciate stewarding folks’ family heirlooms into new loving hands, it’s time for us to make room so we can take some more! So, for the month of January all furniture is 50% off.

The inevitable fine print: This offer excludes the 18th century French linen press (which we have also marked down some) and the booths from Lombardo’s Restaurant. Member discounts do not apply. Sorry, first come, first served. No holds allowed.
