Residential Case Studies

A Classic Book Collection Finds a New Home with Smart Furniture®   

Moving from a NYC brownstone with 120 feet of built-in bookshelf space to a townhouse in New Mexico with no such accommodations, Rev. Dr. Susan Corso needed a new solution to store and display her personal library. She scoured Santa Fe for bookshelves with clean lines and simple designs that would also offer easy upkeep, but found nothing that suited her needs.  

“As a minister, an on-the-job hazard is buying and reading books; it’s an ongoing study,” said Corso. “After days of unsuccessful searching locally, I put the Internet to work for me and quickly found an answer in Smart Furniture.”  

Highly scalable and easily customizable, patented Smart Furniture® can be configured to suit any room in the house. Its building block-like components can be stacked and connected infinitely to enable maximum space utilization…no matter what the floor plan.

Quick and convenient to assemble, modular Smart Furniture eliminates the need for rigid permanent structures and fixtures, as well as the costly and time-consuming processes associated with custom carpentry or professional installation.

The system’s tool-free assembly (no nails, glue, hinges, screws or tools necessary) enables configuration and re-configuration at any time to meet a variety of storage and/or display needs.

“Easy…simple…painless…my bookshelves were up and filled to capacity within two hours,” continued Corso. "Of course, I quickly ordered more – and will continue to do so – in order to house my ever-growing collection of books, plants and small sculptures.”   

Smart Furniture® at Home Affordable, with style and flexibility

You’ve just relocated to a major metropolitan area — your third, and hopefully last move in the past three years. With your new job, you have very little time to engage in the task of organizing and simplifying your life. What’s more, you need to do so while preparing for the possibility that this might not be your permanent home.

After enrolling the kids in their new school, you decide to tackle the problem of making your new house a home. A quick survey of the shopping alternatives in your new area code reveals that finding exactly what you want — and getting it delivered — will be costly, both in time and money. You’d have to deal with parking, traffic, and the litany of hassles associated with big-city shopping. Armed with only a mouse and a keyboard, you decide to pursue other options.

While surfing the Web, you stumble across an article in the San Francisco Chronicle that highlights the flexibility of Smart Furniture, which "attracts everyone from graduates to grandparents" to "design everything from desks to closet units to entertainment centers." Curiosity piqued, you click your way to the website and soon find yourself immersed in a virtual playground of furniture options. You find four different finishes, a multitude of shapes and sizes, and the ability to customize your purchases to fit the tightest of spaces.  

Playing with the Smart Designer tool yields a number of attractive designs. Unsure of which options

best meet your needs, you call Smart Furniture’s toll-free number, and speak to a friendly customer service representative, who guides you through the interactive process of creating the custom shelving

that fulfills your design and space requirements.

Before you know it, you have converted a broom closet into a pantry, solved the mess that passes for the kids’ playroom, and found an ingenious use for the previously wasted space underneath the staircase.

Eight days later, you are surprised to find that your new shelving units have already arrived. Despite Smart Furniture’s assurances of easy assembly, you are impressed by how simple it really turns out to be.

In less than an hour, you’ve assembled your Smart Furniture and put it to good use. You didn’t need any tools, the instructions were easy to follow, and most importantly, you didn’t have to take out another mortgage to pay for your new shelving units.

The kids love having easy access to all of their toys, the clutter of unpacked belongings no longer litter your living quarters, and your husband is thankful that he didn’t have to break a sweat (although he’s still trying to figure out how you did it all by yourself).

 Of course, you didn’t tell him how easy the process was, as you’re not about to give up the extra chores he took on in exchange for the "hassle" you had to go through. Much like the closet disarray Smart Furniture helped you fix, your life is on the road to organizational bliss.

A little research, a half-hour of design and mere minutes to assemble your new furniture — in less than an hour you go from hapless to happy. What’s more, if you ever have to move again — knock on wood — you and your furniture will be a lot smarter about adapting to your new environment.
