What’s the hype with Microfiber?

Microfiber is new age technology that has been labeled as the fabric of the future. Microfiber is fiber with very thin strands, (less than one denier).

It can be made to look like suede or leather, and makes very attractive furniture. For example, many manufacturers make excellent microfiber sofas.

Gallery Furniture has Quality Franklin Recliners - Just Ask the Johnson Family!

When customers experience poor customer service at the competition, they often find their way over to Gallery Furniture, where only the highest quality reclining chairs such as the Franklin Corporation. 

Two days ago the Johnson couple visited the store after a horrible experience at a competitor where they purchased two Lazy-Boy recliner chairs a year ago and an extra warranty, throughout the year the chairs have been malfunctioning.  Since the Johnsons purchased the warranty they thought they were covered.  Unfortunately, the warranty was useless.  They couldn’t even contact the claims department and when they finally did they were charged to repair the chairs! 

Therefore the Johnson’s decided to come to Gallery Furniture.  They were surprised to see Mattress Mack at the front of the store.  After trying different recliner chairs, they fell in love with two very comfortable Franklin recliner chairs and took advantage of our two chairs for the price of one special.

Little did the Johnsons know that Franklin chairs are the premium manufacturer in motion furniture. 

Franklin has the highest quality; they utilize all steel at an 8 gauge average for strength and durability; direct drive with double ottoman lock offers effortless operation with complete control; and deep padded arms and back filled with premium conjugate fiber and/or foam, designed for maximum comfort and durability.  Aside from the great quality of Franklin the Johnson's also got the Gallery In Home Service guarantee.  Which is a 3 year warranty that if anything goes wrong Gallery Furniture will send a technician to your home to repair anything that has gone wrong and make any repairs for free.

After a bit of browsing, the Johnsons’ found a beautiful rug that matched perfectly with the chairs.  So don’t buy furniture hoping that the warranty will work.  Come to Gallery Furniture and leave assured that we back our warranties personally.

Lane Furniture Recliners Available at Gallery Furniture - TODAY.

When folks want American made furniture, they need to look no farther than Gallery Furniture - home to amazing manufacturers like Lane Home Furnishings.  Lane Home Furnishings is one of the premiere lines here at Gallery Furniture in Houston.

Jonathan Foy from Lane Home Furnishings decided to show Gallery Furniture customers in these photos more about the Lane Furniture recliners and help folks learn more about these exciting name brand recliners.  Lane Home Furnishings started in 1911 selling red cedar chests and has expanded into the largest motion furniture manufacturer in the world.  All of the furniture is American-made and is manufactured in their state of the art factories.  Lane even has five of the most advanced furniture manufacturing facilities in the world - simply put, Lane is always updating and improving their manufacturing processes with new state of the art technology.  This helps Lane step out in front of their competition again and again - in today's world, companies either innovate or evaporate, and Gallery Furniture is proud to business with innovators. 

Lane began manufacturing recliners in 1970 and they haven't slowed down since.  They sell many varieties of recliners including rocking recliners, swiveling recliners, gliding recliners, high leg and low leg recliners, lift recliners, and even massage recliners.  The company has coined the title "The most comfortable seat in the house," and once you take a seat in one of their beautiful recliners here at Gallery Furniture, you will understand why.  

Gallery Furniture carries all types and styles of Lane's recliners - from a big man's chair for watching the game to an elegant leather chair for a traditional living area.  Lane also makes reclining furniture that, quite frankly, don't look like recliners - they look like a standard living room chair!  Beautiful in form and fun in function - Gallery Furniture carries an array of Lane recliners.

For example, Gallery Furniture carries Lane's Comfort King Stallion Recliner - a tough and sturdy big man's chair.  With a wide seat and built to last, this recliner comes equipped with a heavier gauge steel mechanism than the industry standard for extra strength.  Also, the Lane Comfort King Stallion Recliner has drop-in coil springs which are stronger and add much more support to the seat of the recliner.  Arms are bolted to the frame with angle iron and supported by a steel seat box.  Not only is the Lane Stallion Recliner strong and durable, it is also extremely comfortable.  Made with high density foam, Lane designs its recliners so that they won't flatten out after a long use.

Gallery Furniture also carries Lane's all-leather Vail recliner.  The cigar arms and dark rich color add to the elegance of this piece, perfect for a living room addition.  What makes this leather recliner so special is that it doesn't look like a recliner at all!  The Vail recliner chair is a push-back recliner therefore it has no handle on the side.  Gallery Furniture customers simply recline by pushing themselves back on the arms.  With low legs, giving the chair a traditional feel without the recliner look.

 
Is that chair?  Nope!  That's a Gallery Furniture Lane Recliner!

Lane's Lucas recliner - also available at Gallery Furniture - has some special features hidden within!  The storage arm has a cup holder - simply flip up the arm pillow and underneath you will find this as well as space for your favorite book or magazine or even the remote control!  The Gallery Furniture Lane Lucas recliner has a wider contour for extra comfort and additional room - perfect for the holiday season when you may have had a bit too much to eat!

The Davidson recliner by Lane is a great example of a "high-leg recliner."  It therefore pushes back to recline, and reverts back just by the user sitting up.  The beautiful tapestry print portrays a more sophisticated look.

The Carolina recliner has a very traditional look with soft rolled arms and tailored kick pleat skirts.  This chair has both the smooth gliding mechanism and swiveling capabilities.  There is also a semi attached back pillow that is shown here.  The pillow is zippered so the user can adjust it to their comfort level.

Jonathan Foy Shows Off the Inner Workings of Comfort in the Gallery Furniture Lane Recliners!

TODAY means TODAY at Gallery Furniture...

Lisa and Steve's children were delighted with Gallery Furniture, because now they'll have their game room chairs in the Seabrook home!

You always hear when a competing furniture store doesn't satisfy the needs of a potential customer, but this time was especially hard to hear since most of the order was for the kids' game room - yes, even Gallery Furniture can get shocked from the stories heard by how the other furniture stores treat their customers.  Gallery Furniture found out from Lisa & Steven an interesting tale about some recliners they needed in the game room and living room of their Houston area home.

Lisa & Steven came in with their children to Gallery Furniture looking for some furniture that was easy on their eyes and wallet that could be taken home as soon as possible - basically, TODAY.  So when they purchased some beautiful Gallery Furniture recliners for home, they informed Gallery Furniture that this was their first visit with us and were impressed that we would get them their furniture TODAY!

They were in complete awe of the large assortment of sofas, love seats, and recliners Gallery Furniture offers - and stood very much impressed by the 100,000+ square feet of showroom space.  You see, Lisa & Steven were told by some friends about Gallery Furniture, so they felt the time was right to come on down, save money, and get delivery... TODAY.  Their salesperson Eva had guided them through the process, and it was during this process that Gallery Furniture learned the full tale of Lisa & Steve's furniture shopping experience with local rival Bel Furniture. 

Turns out that Lisa & Steven stopped by competitor Bel Furniture near their home in Seabrook and purchased some living room furniture (and some recliners) for their kids' game room.  According to Lisa & Steve, when they were checking out at that store, the associate showed them on a computer screen that they had their specific furniture in-stock and would be delivered "as soon as possible" - which, in our Bel Furniture's world, is the equivalent of one week.  In the Gallery Furniture world, that would be considered 6 days and 23 hours too late - a far cry from "as soon as possible."

Well, lo and behold - Lisa & Steven had no furniture for their kids' game room, much less anything else they ordered about a week later.  On their ninth day of waiting, the delivery truck finally arrived with less furniture than they had ordered.  The delivery man who had arrived from the competitor store then informed Lisa & Steven that they should have been called about not all the furniture being in-stock - so, essentially, it was not the delivery man's fault.

When they called the competitor store and asked about their lack of furniture they were greeted on the phone by what Lisa & Steven called "a rude associate" who apparently explained that "yes, when you purchased we had stock. But it had to be used to fulfill another customer that had been waiting longer."  So much for as soon as possible.  Lisa & Steven then decided that they would rather cancel their order and start over somewhere else.

That's when they decided to make the trek from Seabrook to Gallery Furniture.  As soon as they walked in to Gallery Furniture they were greeted by a smiling and energetic Eva.  They browsed around for a while, took in the Gallery Furniture experience, had some hot chocolate, and found what they liked and Eva helped finish up their purchase.  And guess what - unlike other the other guys, Gallery Furniture had the items in stock and delivered TODAY.  You see, for Gallery Furniture as soon as possible means the SAME DAY - not "about a week."

Merry Christmas to Lisa & Steven and their wonderful children, who now have the furniture they need to enjoy their game room in their Seabrook home... TODAY.

Like Always, it is About TODAY at Gallery Furniture!

What a year it has been for Gallery Furniture customer Laura and her family. She came shopping with her son Jacob at Gallery Furniture in Houston while her husband stayed at home and enjoyed the football game. They were greeted at the door by salesman David and what a story they had to tell him.

           (David,Mack,Jacob, and Laura)

In July of 2006, Laura and her family had purchased a reclining sectional from Star Furniture and had it delivered. Well, they tried to use the sectional but the recliner broke. They had Star bring them a new one because it was an imported brand and they didn't have the parts. It took 3 weeks for the second one to arrive. The new one broke as well.

Star told them that it would be SIX WEEKS before they could get a new one so they went in and re-selected a new sofa and loveseat by a brand that the family thought would be better. This was in August of 2007. That set also broke. This time it was fixable and Star ordered the parts in their home in front of the family. They had to wait a month for the parts to come in. As if things could not get any worse for this family, Star ordered the wrong part. Star finally just brought them a new living room set and Laura and her husband said they were never going back their again.  They decided that, from this point forward, they would be going instead to Gallery Furniture - the number one Houston area furniture store.

The reason why they went to Star in the first place was because it was closer to their home. Now, they do not mind making the effort to drive a bit to Gallery Furniture because they get great service and get it TODAY!  Today, the family had a great experience at Gallery Furniture.

Houston's greatest furniture store, Gallery Furniture, gave the family a call to check on the delivery and everything went well for the family. They could not have been happier and neither could Gallery Furniture!  If your looking for a furniture store that won't cause you a headache, Gallery Furniture has everything you could dream of, and best of all Gallery Furniture will get that furniture in your Houston home TODAY! Yes that is a T- For TODAY!

Tiny Woman Big Chair!

Gallery Furniture did not know what was coming when Bessie M. came to the store. She was on a mission and was not going to let anyone stop her. Her daughter and granddaughter came here with her and had a surprise in store for Bessie.

Bessie has shopped at Gallery Furniture in Houston many times and so has a lot of her family members. She is actually replacing a chair that one of her family members bought her many years ago. Well, while Bessie was looking through the newspaper at home she saw a great ad for a sale on Recliners at Gallery Furniture in Houston. She called her daughter and asked her to bring her to Gallery Furniture and would not let go of that newspaper ad. It was her goal and she said she would have pulled her pistol out if someone took it away from her! When she arrived at Gallery Furniture with her family, out salesman Fabian greeted her with a smile that just made her day. She said that when you can walk in a store and someone can make you feel happy with just a smile it means something.

                (Bessie and her Recliner)

In no time she found the a nice big recliner that was so soft she did not want to get up. Bessie jokingly told Fabian if he let someone get her chair he would regret it! To top off her fun day at Gallery Furniture, her daughter surprised her by paying for the chair as a gift. Bessie thought she was paying for it the whole time. She said it was a blessing to her that she got a great chair and great service all in one day! Now she can sit in comfort and always think of Gallery Furniture where she had a great service and the nice smile she received from Fabian!
