Custom Order Furniture Without the Customary Wait

Thursday, June 5, 2008

A new customer bought her Sofa from Sherman’s a few weeks ago, and it was interesting listening to her story. She’d shopped for furniture all over town, and she quickly found that no store stocked the exact style and color she was looking for. Now that’s pretty typical if you spend the time to really think about what will best fit your tastes, family’s use and décor. Rarely will that style and color happen to be in stock or even on display at a store, so you’re kind of settling for “good enough” when you pick from in-stock product. So as is often the case, she had to go the special order route. The trouble was, everywhere she went she found special order furniture took 10-12 weeks to get. And she wasn’t too excited about that. Here are her exact words: “I have a couple stories I could tell you about ordering furniture and was told it would take 12 weeks and it ended up that I either never got it or it took about 6 months to get.” She was excited, though, to hear how fast Sherman’s could deliver a special order sofa: “I was floored to hear at Sherman's it only takes 3 weeks.” And sure enough, her new sofa was custom made and delivered in exactly three weeks. Our Custom Comfort Center features exclusively England furniture (a La-z-boy company). Every Monday we order a truckload consisting of the special orders from the week prior, and it’s manufactured to specification in about two weeks, leaving one week for transport to us and for us to deliver it. In fact, at all times we have an electronic message board in the store giving our customers the exact date we can deliver any custom furniture ordered on that day. It’s all made to exacting standards by quality craftsman right here in the good old USA (New Tazewell, TN to be specific) which is a nice departure from all the furniture made in China these days. If you need a new living room, want exactly what you have in mind, and want it fast, Sherman’s Custom Comfort Center just might be the answer.
