Good’s Furniture & Mattress has been named one of Flexsteel’s 2024 “Gallery of the Year” award recipients. The honor is given to three retailers across approximately 1,400 Flexsteel dealers, recognizing performance in sales, customer service, and product presentation.

Good’s, a fourth-generation, family-owned furniture business with more than 130 years in operation, has carried Flexsteel’s product line for over two decades. The recognition reflects not only sales performance but the strength of the long-term relationship between the two companies.

“It was quite a surprise, our team thought it was really cool,” said Phil Good, Fourth Generation Owner of Good’s Furniture & Mattress. “Everybody had a hand in making it all happen, not just the person on the sales design side, but the whole picture. Our partnership works extremely well with Flexsteel because we’re important to them and they’re very important to us.”

Good highlighted the role of Flexsteel sales representative Marty Lambe as a key contributor to the partnership’s success.

“Marty is truly the captain of the ship,” said Good. “Without his guidance and training, none of this would be happening. He’s a one-of-a-kind person and representative of the company. As the industry has evolved, this partnership has been so relational. It's furniture, but it's not. It's really about the relationships beyond the products that make it a success. Flexsteel is innovative and has continued to grow. They’ve overcome every challenge our industry has faced on the offense and having them be such a key vendor of ours is very, very important to us.”

David Patterson, Flexsteel’s Regional Vice President of Sales, said Good’s Furniture exemplifies the kind of dealer relationship the company values.

“We’re a premium furniture brand, so we partner with the very best retailers in every marketplace,” said Patterson. “We look for longstanding partnerships where we help the dealer, the dealer helps us, and we share a common goal. Phil and his whole organization exemplifies the partnership that Flexsteel is looking for. Phil is always bringing us new ideas and he's always willing to try new innovation from our company.”

Good’s plans to refresh its in-store Flexsteel gallery in the coming months as part of the ongoing collaboration.
