Brooks serves a wide swath of the market in central Florida, with designs and price ranges appealing to a variety of Florida households.

Colorado Style Home Furnishings has been in business for nearly 30 years. This South Denver fine furniture store is locally owned and operated by Terri and Brent Simon. Colorado Style Home Furnishings’ offers over an acre of in-stock fine furnishings with a focus on custom order designs, allowing their team of design professionals to create beautiful homes for their clients in the Denver metro area, surrounding suburbs, ski resort towns and along the Colorado Front Range. 

“We are really excited to see more family-owned businesses join our group,” said Andrew Kauffman, CEO of Furniture First. “Even though these newest members are in different parts of the country, with different retail strategies and merchandise mixes, they both will find great benefits from membership. We are not a ‘one-size-fits-all organization.’ We intentionally build in flexibility to fit a variety of retail strategies, as long as they sell new residential furniture and mattresses. We try to help independent retailers stay independent, and that includes building a strong foundation for ownership succession.”
