Home Theater Customized for your Needs

For the next month,  you're going to hear a lot about the digital to analog transition.  (See post) 

All this talk may have you craving a new home theater room.  After all, if you're going to make the switch from old-style TV to high definition, why not go for the best, your own theater in y our home.

If you haven't seen the Gallery Furniture’s home theater demonstration rooms,you haven’t experienced entertainment at its finest! Gallery Furniture has custom made theater rooms to show you the options available to you. 

Here are some of the highlights.

The Longhorn room is one of the big attractions in the home theater area. 

It features surround sound with a 7.1 system -- two front, two back, and two middle speakers plus a subwoofer. 

This room also has two projection TVs on display, the Mitsubishi 5500 and the 6000. Both give you an excellent picture to go with the fantastic sound.

The main highlight of the Astros room is the Sony projector. This projector is extremely diverse in the depth and height it can be displayed from. The Sony projector has an excellent lens system that is better for closer spaces and smaller rooms. This room is extremely popular not only for the Astros décor, but also for the all of the electronics and features available from this model.

And then there's this theater room.  It doesn't look like a home theater room.  It looks like a living room. Until you lower the screen at the other end of the room.  Then fire up the projector and you have a high definition television, surround sound, and everything else you need in a home theater -- that is if you don't need the reclining seats, cupholders and sports memorabilia.

Whether you want to make your living room a home theater room without sacrificing your style and comfort -- or you want a man-cave with all the trimmings - - Gallery Furniture can help you customer design the room of your dreams.  Let one of our designers work with you.  It's easy, just give us a call or stop by the Gallery Furniture store.

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.

 

The Only Place Worth Visiting

Bob is an Oklahoma State University alumnus who moved to Texas after college and has been living in the Lone Star state since. Originally from the Woodlands, their method for furniture shopping has been to go down I-45 and stop at every furniture store they see. Bob and his wife have spent the last six months refurnishing their home and after all that time shopping, they’ve learned their lesson – Gallery Furniture is the only place worth stopping.

Bob, as many Houstonians have, bought a TV from one of our competitors because they were having a ”sale.”  Bob thought for sure he would get his HD TV in 3 to 5 days, but after he paid he was informed that the TV wouldn’t be available until next year!  Bob was so disappointed he decided to get his money back instead of waiting. Disillusioned on his way home, Bob remembered that Gallery Furniture has a wide variety of electronics. He decided to stop by, and found the same TV at the same exact price!  But of course, because he bought from Gallery Furniture, he got to take it home TODAY!  His children were so excited, they “are bouncing off the wall” Bob said.

Bob said “the price, the quality” are best here and he loves that Gallery Furniture makes good on promises made.  Bob is also a big fan because of Gallery Furniture’s commitment to community involvement – “Gallery Furniture always helps my kids school, St. Edwards, on their biggest fundraiser of the year”.

So for all your furniture needs – chairs to mattresses, rugs to televisions – don’t waste your time at other furniture stores this holiday season. Come straight to Gallery Furniture, where you can buy it TODAY, get it TODAY!

Continental Flys Higher with a New TV!

This past Tuesday we Gallery Furniture had a very special visitor drop by. Kip Komidor from Continental Airlines stopped in to replace a TV that Gallery had donated 8 years prior, after their original had been stolen on Christmas Eve.  Actually, Gallery donated all of the furniture for the Continental crew’s lounge back in 2000, and they were so satisfied with the pieces that there was never a question where to visit to replace the TV.  “The pilots are very appreciative of the furniture and have really enjoyed taking quick naps on the relaxing oversized sofas,” Komidor tells Gallery Furniture. 

After 8 years of flawless service, the TV finally bit the dust. Looking to buy a new one for the crew’s lounge, Komidor headed right over to Gallery Furniture. Once he introduced himself and told his story, Mack was adamant about donating a TV to replace the one that recently broke. A new Mitsubishi 60” DLP TV will be installed in their crew’s lounge shortly. Gallery Furniture truly appreciates the pilots and has built a strong relationship with Continental Airlines. We are always happy to see Continental Employees shopping in Houston’s number one furniture store!

Subtle and inconspicuous - the complete opposite of a traditional theater room you may think of.  Gallery Furniture invites women everywhere to see this unique approach for those who want the technology but don't want to sacrifice a traditional living room in the name of visible components and large screen televisions.

 

Gallery Furniture has a special room devoted to Home Theater / Her Way - decorated with soft tones which creates a sense of balance and sophistication.  Merged with furniture that shows how tasteful a living room with high tech theater can be without losing the room to the gadgetry, the Gallery Furniture Home Theater / Her Way is ready for customers to view TODAY.

Give the Gift of Entertainment!

Entertainment centers, big screen TV's, leather theater seating, Gallery Furniture's got them, and more of them this holiday season.

In fact, a new shipment of home entertainment furniture and electronics has just arrived at Gallery Furniture.  You'll find wall units, plasma consoles, and the latest televisions from Sony, Mitsubishi, and other fine manufacturers today.

Here's a full entertainment center in a light finish big enough to handle the new big screens and there's storage space for components and DVDs below.  The side piers have lighting and shelves for display of your collectibles or pictures.   

This contemporary entertainment center has a black finish and nickel hardware.  It features open storage shelves.

A new entertainment center really goes best with a new high definition television.  If you're still using an old tube TV with an analog turner, now's the time to get into high definition with a brand new flat screen TV.  Remember, analog TV goes away in a few weeks.

Gallery Furniture has lots of new HDTVs in stock and ready to set up in your home tonight!

Now's the time to make the move to digital and give the gift of entertainment from Gallery Furniture.

Delivery Made Easy- Home Theater Seating

Gallery Furniture loves to delight customers, and will do whatever it takes to meet their needs. Gallery Furniture customer Joe M is an extreme NASCAR fan. He makes frequent road trips to NASCAR races, and wanted theater seating installed in his RV.

 

You may think home theater seating is for the home. But Joe M uses his RV more than his house. So, that’s where he wanted home theater seating.

 

Gallery Furniture always welcomes a challenge. The Gallery Furniture Team of Jeremy, Cedric, and Daniel got straight to work. They measured the RV and the furniture, then made a plan to break down each piece to maneuver through the limited entry way, and reassembled all the pieces according to Joe’s preference. At first the task seemed impossible but with enthusiasm, dedication, and hard work, the Gallery Furniture Team created a comfortable atmosphere that Joe wanted.

 

A customer can BUY IT TODAY and Gallery Furniture will DELIVER TODAY! Whether your home is on wheels, or a foundation, Gallery Furniture can install seating off the shelf or custom made. And Gallery Furniture can do it today!
