Vendor Spotlight -- Century Furniture

Why do we love Century Furniture?

The Century Furniture line is deep and stunningly beautiful.  It is a designer's dream line.  Every piece, case good or upholstery, is unique and finished with great attention to detail and quality.  Century offers over 200 gorgeous fabrics, leathers and trims and over 50 finishes.  We love that.





In addition, the say "yes" to almost any custom request.  We can size a sofa to the inch and can select a custom paint color for the frame.  There is no limit to the combinations available to customize a piece and make it our own.  We love that.

Century Furniture is also committed to their dealers and end users.  Their customer service is top drawer (no pun intended).  They take great pride in their product and make our job easy.  We love that.

Century Furniture is made in America (Hickory, NC to be exact) and has been family owned and operated since 1947.  The employees all have a share of the company and that pride of ownership translates to the care taken with each piece of furniture.  In the words of founder Harley F. Shurford, Sr., "We strive to make furniture of such impeccable quality that it brings joy not only to the people who own it, but also the craftsmen who build it."  We love that.


Founders


Finally, as designers, we crave beauty.  The Century Furniture line is a feast for the eyes and their showrooms at the High Point Market and the Washington DC Design Center are nothing short of inspiring.  I think we love that most of all.
