Latest Meet Posts from Smart Furniture

When our merchandising team here at Smart Furniture decides to represent a new brand, the first thing we look for is a compelling brand story. In our minds, the elements of a compelling story include history, a compulsion for great design, unwavering quality, and the ability to fulfill a niche of their own. With this in mind, we would like to introduce you to the newest member of the Smart Furniture line-up, Four Hands Furniture!

Last week we announced our partnership with the emerging home office furniture brand, The Smarter Office. You probably already know by now that The Smarter Office is committed to being the leading provider of home office furniture and tools. In this post, we will take a deeper dive into the four foundational concepts that drive The Smarter Office. 

We would like to introduce The Smarter Office, the very first furniture brand focused exclusively designing and developing the very best products for the home office. Although there is some crossover between office furniture and home office furniture, the Smarter Office is dedicated to helping our customers design and create the most comfortable and most productive home office space possible. 

At Smart Furniture, we know furniture, and we want to make it easier for our customers to make their purchases confidently and knowledgeably. Our knowledge stems from the awesome partners that we have, and Saloom is no exception. Peter Saloom is a 2^nd generation furniture builder. We wanted to know how to help our customers shop for dining furniture. We figured, why not ask the people who make it?

Brent Sanders presents the world in a new, colorful light with his unique and vibrant paintings. Get to know the artist behind the canvas in this exclusive SmartFurniture.com interview.

As an American furniture company, we don't take the phrase "Made in America" lightly. To us, it means that our products must meet a certain standard of quality, not only in design but in durability as well. It means more than just where it was made - it means where it came from: where rules are broken, limits are pushed and craftsmanship reigns supreme.

Outdoor furniture offers a world of possibility. Indoors, we're constrained by space and decor requirements. But outdoors? Outdoors is where people expect you to let your hair down a bit - and there's an inherent need for practicality as well when we're talking about weather-proof furniture. No messing with fancy wood finishes and veneers.

Tommy Bahama is the one name that's been associated most with outdoor living. Whether you're talking about your patio, screened porch, or back deck, this is the outdoor furniture you picture when you think about luxurious summer evenings.

At Smart Furniture, we are passionate about our customers and we work hard every day to make sure we offer you the best products on the market. That's why we would like to take the time to introduce you to our newest line of products from Lexington Home Brands.

Happy Earth Day, fellow humans! In celebration of today and in the spirit of raising awareness for creating a sustainable earth, we'd like to give a few shout outs to some companies that are taking their own steps to make sure that the earth and its resources will be plentiful for generations to come. You can do your part too by shopping for eco-friendly products from our FSC-Certified brands. Each of these companies has gone through rigorous testing and must continually meet strict standards to maintain their certification.

At Smart Furniture, we're redefining the way you feel about sleeper sofas. We understand that those two words can often cause traumatic flashbacks to childhood vacations when you were duped into believing you'd finally get your own "bed" - when in reality all you got was a thin, creaky mattress that had been kept hidden away from the world by tacky upholstered seat cushions and metal springs that hurt almost as bad as knowing you had been shafted.

The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman is a modern classic. It's never been equaled, never been surpassed from concept to execution. Sure, it's been copied (or, to put it delicately, "knocked off"). But a copy is just that - a shadow of the real thing.

Traditionally styled interiors have the ability to combine timelessness and elegance. Curved lines, upholstery, tufting, trim, and crown molding - the characteristics that make up a traditional home - remain classics in the hearts of many.

3/14/2014 is here, and guess what that means? You got it - Pi Day. I've compiled a list of things that are round and awesome to celebrate this renowned holiday. Every home needs a shot of circular symmetry.

As we embark upon a rundown of our top 10 TV stands, I think it's important to acknowledge the elephant in the room. [Hello, elephant.] We all love lists, but half the time they're only good as linkbait. There, I said it.

The GESTURE Chair, Steelcase's latest (and greatest) office seating innovation, is now available to order. That's exciting news! We've been modifying our posture to fit our office chairs for the past few years of multi-device tasking. But now that GESTURE is here, there's finally a chair that will fit our posture.

The Blu Dot Modu-licious Collection has been around for a while - and it doesn't look like it's going anywhere. Right now all the pieces in the collection are on sale with the rest of Blu Dot during the 20/20 Sale. So why is this stuff so popular? Its staying power can be easily attributed to two factors.

Right now we have the enjoyable (and unexpected) experience of offering two fine mid-century collections for sale at the same time.

On the occasion of its 50th anniversary and ICFF, the perpetually innovative Hans Wegner Shell Chair serves as a foil for Maharam's diverse range of textiles, including homespun wool textures, re-editioned designs of the Wiener Werkstv§tte and Alexander Girard, and collaborations with Hella Jongerius and Paul Smith.Twenty special Shell Chairs, each with a different Maharam textile and coordinating wood frame, have been editioned as part of Carl Hansen's celebration of the chair and the creative genius of both Hans Wegner and the designers of these incredible fabrics. Smart Furniture is the only place you'll find the full range of colors in which Maharam offers these fabrics. You can shop them all, here.

I don't know about you, but when I'm shopping for anything, I always check out the customer reviews for a first hand opinion. Do I need to size up or down? Are these shoes really comfortable or an unusual form of torture?

Ever wonder who that pleasant voice on the other end of the line is when you speak to the sales department at Smart Furniture? It could be any of our amazing sales reps, including the one and only Caroline. Caroline is the newest member of the Sales team and we couldn't be luckier to have her with us. It's always fun to get to know people, so here's a little one-on-one with Caroline.

We love the clean lines and effortless chic of Gus Modern's collection of sofas sectionals and chairs ... and everything else they offer for that matter. Feast your eyes on these fresh, Gussied-up spaces:
