A Dozen Years with a Tempur-Pedic

Rev. William Kelly is a professor at the University of St. Thomas.  He's also a Gallery Furniture customer and the proud owner of a Tempur-Pedic mattress.

He's had the Tempur-Pedic for a dozen years and loves it.  But he took some convincing.

Father Kelly has a degenerative back disease and a lot of people had told him a Tempur-Pedic would be good for him -- even his doctor.  But he wasn't sure about it.

Then he went to a meeting in Dallas.  When he checked into his hotel  he saw that there rooms with Tempur-Pedic mattresses so he asked for one.  He stayed three nights.

"It was so fabulous, the best thing I'd ever slept on."

When he came back to Houston he bought a Tempur-Pedic.  He's had it for twelve years and says he's still happy with it.

Reverend Kelly does say he has one regret about the original purchase -- he didn't get a Tempur-Pedic pillow.

That changed after another professor at the university told him he ought to get the Tempur-Pedic pillow.  The other instructor even lent him a pillow from the Tempur-Pedic set in his guest room and that was all it took.  "I slept on it one night, and two or three days later I came out here and bought a Tempur-Pedic pillow."  Actually he bought two, using one and keeping the other for when the first one wears out.  He's still using the original pillow.

 Like many Tempur-Pedic customers, Father William has talked about his experience with other people.  He says he was going on and on about his Tempur-Pedic when his college roommate his wife came to visit, and even took the guest room so they could test the Tempur-Pedic. 

"When they got back to Boston," he says,  "They bought one."
 
 Reverend Kelly is like a lot of satisfied Tempur-Pedic customers.  Their stories are the best advertisement for the Tempur-Pedic sleep system.  You can be one of them, because Gallery Furniture has a huge selection of Tempur-Pedic mattresses in stock and ready for delivery today.  Get yours today and sleep great tonight!
 

A House Full of Furniture -- The Gallery Furniture Way

Lidia and John have been Gallery Furniture customers since 2004 and when they got a new  house, they came back to Gallery to furnish the new house.

They had a few special requirements.  The new home has a new home theater room.  The room was empty, with no seating and no electronics.  So Lidia and John asked the home theater experts at Gallery to come up with a plan for the audio, video, and seating they'd need.  They wanted to maximize their investment in the home theater room -- to get the most for their money.

Lidia also wanted some help with decorating the new house, particularly with accessories.

No problem for Gallery Furniture.  Home theater expert Walter Dunnigan helped the couple decide on the electronics and custom seating that was just right for their home theater.  Decorator Michael Burns jumped in with plans for the new family room, dining room, entertainment area, and special touches throughout the house, including rugs.

Lidia and John came to Gallery Furniture on November 13.  Six days later, all the furniture was delivered to their home and set up.

A delivery team from Gallery unloaded the furniture and accessories and set it up in the house.  (see pictures above)  Now, Lidia and John have everything they need in their new home.

 Whether you need one room or an house full of furniture, Gallery Furniture is ready to help you get it with immediate financing and immediate delivery.  And if you need help putting together that special room, Gallery is ready.

New at Gallery Furniture -- Another Earth Friendly Collection

There's something new at Gallery Furniture, an addition to our selection of hand-crafted solid wood furniture that is also an addition to the earth friendly furniture collection.

The new addition is furniture made from reclaimed mequite wood. Gallery Furniture crews are unloading a truckload from Furniture Source International.  This company travels through Mexico, looking for old buildings that are in poor repair and harvesting  the flooring, structural lumbar and other wood that can be used to make beautiful furniture.

This mesquite wood is hard, three times as dense as oak, seasoned by years of use, sometimes 50 to 100 years.  This dense wood is heavy and will stand up to years of service.  It is also beautiful furniture with character.

Each piece is hand-crafted and fitted together without nails and screws.  It is furniture made the old fashioned way, using pegs and dowels.  Each piece is unique.  You can have a selection of chairs that all look the same, but there will be subtle differences in the grain, the hand carved decorations, and finish.

Gallery Furniture also has pieces from Furniture Source that are made of pine with the same hand-crafted style and workmanship.  Don't miss the selection of dining chairs made from mesquite or pine, with leather seats and backs.

Gallery Furniture is proud to add this new line of furniture to our ecologically friendly solid wood collection.  This is furniture that is made from plantation grown or reclaimed wood, protecting rare trees and finding another use for wood that has already been harvested.  It is also beautiful wood that you will treasure for years.

Furniture made from solid mango, sheesham, acacia, elm, pine and mesquite is all in one place -- Gallery Furniture.

Gallery Furniture saves you money -- and protects the environment!

Long Distance Furniture Shopping

Gallery Furniture has a lot of people who come to the store from all over Texas, and there have been people who bought here for delivery in a faraway place, but here's a story of shopping from a long distance away for delivery closer to home.

Franklin is an oil industry consultant who spends a lot of time in Africa.  Back in 2006, while he was working in Nigeria, he and his wife Yulia wanted to furnish a house in New Braunfels. But, as Franklin puts it, they would not have much time toshop before having to go back to Africa.  So they used the internet and www.GalleryFurniture.com to shop for new furniture from Nigeria, making a lot of use of the store camera system.

On a trip back to Texas, Yulia and Franklin landed at Bush Intercontinental about 3:30 PM, drove to Gallery Furniture, and in an hour and a half had picked out a house full of furniture.  Gallery delivered it to New Braunfels the next day.

Since then, they have moved to a house in Houston.  Hurricane Ike was not good to them.  They lost their dining room and living room furniture to water in the house.  So this time, Franklin said, "We came back to Gallery Furniture because we knew we could get what we needed without wasting a lot time."

And that's exactly what they did Wednesday.

Yulia and Franklin discovered one of the advantages of the Gallery Furniture web site.  You can browse through the furniture selection online, choose the pieces you are interested in, and bring that list to the store.  You can shop from the comfort of home and shorten the time it takes to choose your new furniture.

Gallery Furniture knows your time is important.  That's why Gallery Furniture's web site has a large catalog of in-stock furniture online.  That's why Gallery Furniture is ready to deliver your  new furniture the same day you buy it.
