Cabinet Sideboard? Dining Table? Both.

 

 

The coolest cabinet that becomes a dining table.  Lori (of the Gallery Furniture High Point Market tea composed of customers) found, at Jasper Cabinet, a small side cabinet that expands out to become dining - with middle leaf leg support and you can size the dining table based on how many leaves you want to have.  This is just one of the many gems Gallery Furniture found while at High Point Market that were unique and functional.

"I like this," said Lori, "when you live in tight spaces, or you are just needing the extra seating space, it works to have something that can serve a dual function as a sort of sideboard.  I think it's also mindblowing - what guest what know it was there?"

Additional leaves are located below, for easy storage.  Gallery Furniture believes in you, the customer, which is why Gallery Furniture sent the world's greatest customers to find storage and space savings solutions in your living room, dining room, and other rooms of your house. 

"Seriously, this is the coolest thing on earth.  And it's practical."

The Competition Does Not Compare!

Long-time customers Terry and Diane make it a point to go to Gallery Furntiure when purchasing a new piece of furniture.  They fell in love with Gallery Furniture during their first visit because of the “great sales people,” and quality customer service!  Their high expectations were met and exceeded during their recent visit.  Diane said the assistance received from Eric and Gregory while they shopped was “very good" and that they were "friendly and accommodating.”

Over the years Terry and Diane love how they continually receive great service and great deals! 

Many customers, like Terry and Diane only shop at Gallery Furniture because they have had horrible experiences at other furniture stores.  During one experience, when Terry and Diane went to another Houston furniture store, they made a purchase and were led to believe that they had 15 months of  no interest and no payments, but due to misinformation about the financing, their credit was harmed.  After this horrible experience they came to Gallery Furniture and found just what they were looking for!

So come to Gallery Furniture where the “deals are good and the sales people are wonderful!”

The Big Switch -- Digital to Analog TV

Gallery Furniture is ready for the switch to digital television -- are you?

You've probably heard a lot about the switch to digital television -- and you'll hear more as February 17 approaches.  That's the day when analog TV, the kind of TV we've known for the last 50 years, goes away and the new digital transmission system takes effect.

That means you'll have to get a digital-to-analog converter to continue to see over the air television on your old analog-only set.  (You don't need to do anything if you're on cable or satellite. Learn more about digital television at the Federal Communications Commission web site www.dtv.gov.)

A lot of people are taking this opportunity to buy a new high definition television that can receive digital signals and let you take advantage of high definition signals.  If that's you, Gallery Furniture is ready to help with a large selection of HDTVs from Sony, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, and other manufacturers.  Not to mention the surround sound systems will make watching television a  new experience in sound as well as sight.

When you get that new television, make sure you've got a place to put it.  An old entertainment center may not be big enough for that big screen TV you want, and a small screen that will fit the old unit may not give you the high definition experience you crave.  That's why Gallery Furniture has a huge selection of new entertainment centers and television consoles designed for the bigger televisions.

Take a look at the new plasma consoles from HTD.  Make from solid plantation grown mango wood, these TV consoles are good looking, functional, and tough. 

You may prefer a wall unit.  If that's the case, Gallery Furniture has them from top notch manufacturers.

Even better, Gallery Furniture's home theater experts can help you match the right entertainment center to your new HDTV, and our crack delivery teams can get both of them set up in your home tonight.

The big digital to analog TV switch is nothing to worry about, in fact it's  your chance to move up to a great home theater experience instead of just watching TV!

Gallery Furniture is ready to make it happen for you.

A Gallery Furniture Investment

Many things can damage your electronics and there is no way to prevent incidents such as lighting.  Gallery Furniture provides the next best thing with an In-Home Service plan for electronics to protect your investment.  It is a 3 year warranty that covers what manufacturers don’t (except light bulbs).  The way it works is that if anything goes wrong with your Television you call Gallery Furniture service team and tell them the problem.  They contact a technician in your area that will go to your home to fix the problem.  It’s that easy!  Plus, if you don’t use the In-home Extended Service Plan within three years, you don’t lose that money, like with other warranties, it becomes in-store credit for the amount of the In-Home Service Plan!

The Sanchez family came to Gallery Furniture five years ago and being the smart customers that they are they purchased the Gallery Furniture In Home Electronic Service.  Fortunately they never had to use it. They came in to Gallery Furniture today to look at TVs because Mr. Sanchez really wanted to watch the important Football games on a big screen TV.  They just came to look because they were low on cash and thought their In-Home Service credit was expired, like with other stores.  When they arrived they were excited to find out that the money was still there in their account!  The Sanchez's decided to immediately purchase a 50” HD TV!  They whole family was excited and couldn't wait to take it home and try it out!

There you have it folks, the GALLERY FURNITURE 3 year IN-HOME Service plan for electronics is an investment.  Come to GALLERY FURNITURE, Houston’s #1 store between Tidwell and Parker. Don’t risk losing your Television, because of forces you can’t control get the Gallery Furniture In-Home Service.

Gallery Furniture and Home Trend & Design: the Beginning

Each year, Gallery Furniture sends some of its most trusted employees to High Point, North Carolina, to find the next fantastic thing in furniture for your home. It was there last April that John Brown, a former decorator for Gallery Furniture, met Brian Royce from Home Trend & Design. And it was there that the two became quick friends and spent hours talking about how their companies would do great business together.

When Ted Goldsman, a leading salesman at Gallery Furniture, was introduced to mango furniture and HTD, he instantly knew that mango wood furniture was exactly what Gallery Furniture needed. They convinced Hank Cravey, the owner of Mango Furniture, to bring a full truckload (pictured above) of furniture all the way from the tradeshow in North Carolina to Gallery Furniture in Houston, Texas to show Mattress Mack.  Brian Royce and Barrett Tucker jumped in their brand new Mega Truck and headed across the country.  “Mack was so impressed with the quality of the furniture that he bought everything in the truck,” Royce said. 

This was the start of a great partnership. Home Trend & Design, the company that produces mango wood furniture, began with just a small section of the sales floor in Gallery Furniture, but has steadily expanded as the partnership has continued. Home Trend & Design is even creating special pieces of furniture just for Gallery Furniture.

Home Trend & Design, based in Austin, has been in business for a short three years but has been growing at a rapid rate. Gallery Furniture is proud to say that they are the only store in Houston that carries this genuine, solid mango wood furniture. 

Mango wood furniture is made out of solid hard wood using quality construction processes. Mango trees are worth more when they are bearing fruit, and once they stop producing, they are cut down and they are quickly replaced with a new young trees. Usually the cut trees are burned, but Home Trend & Design buys the wood to utilize it for furniture.

Solid mango wood furniture uses sustainable production processes, is eco-friendly, and will be a beautiful addition to any home. Visit Gallery Furniture TODAY to see the large selection of mango dining tables and chairs, end tables, and bedroom furniture!
