Furniture: a Landscape for our Lives

Our homes are our castles, and through furniture and accessories we create the landscapes of our lives. Thank goodness we can do so while saving money and supporting independently-owned businesses.

Go Here, Not There! is a tool. Use it to get the best deals on goods while supporting local, independently-owned businesses. As American consumers, we were born to believe the better deal equates to less dollars, but other factors matter just as much: the quality of the product, the fit between the product and the consumer, and an expert staff trained to understand the importance of both. Go Here, Not There! and get your money’s worth while protecting the fabric of our neighborhoods and local businesses.

When we fill an empty room with a sofa, chair, a piece of art and some throw pillows, we aren't simply accessorizing; we're creating a landscape for our lives. Although we'll certainly pat ourselves on the back for capturing that hint of red in the carpet or the subtle shades hidden in the chair fabric, there’s really much more going on than color coordination.  It's one of the few times in our busy lives when we’re able to meld our personal tastes with comfortable aesthetics.  As we sink into the perfect couch, it's heartening to imagine being contentedly cocooned after a long day’s work.  Or to watch your child imagine a posh jungle gym from what you thought was fine fashion. A couch is never just a couch, and Lebow’s is hardly just a furniture store.

Lebow Furniture is celebrating its 62nd anniversary this year, amazing by any business standards. Located at 338 Main Street in Royersford, there are several Big Box businesses in the area with which Lebow’s competes.  No matter, because Lebow’s has not only survived, they’ve thrived.

A family owned and operated business, three generations have focused on providing the best possible service in the area. Today it’s rare to walk into a store and be able to speak directly to the owners, but at Lebow’s, Susan and Roger Lebow are dedicated to providing a level of service that’s unmatched. Both owners work the sales floor and are available for consultations at any time. Additionally, father and daughter have worked every aspect of the store, including time spent in the stockroom, placing orders and at the delivery docks.  They know the business and they know their customers, and that expertise is passed down to the consumers. Whether you need advice on color, availability, or durability, Lebow’s owners and staff can guide you to the perfect purchase.

A purchase at Lebow's today means that in five or 15 years you’ll still be a satisfied customer. If that means ordering parts and fixing a piece of furniture, Lebow’s will do it. Their Unlimited Satisfaction Guarantee promises that “pleasing the customer is what we do.” To that end, Lebow’s offers a money back guarantee for a refund or exchange within three days of the original purchase – great news for folks with selection anxiety. And with a million dollar inventory, there’s something to please everyone.

When it comes down to dollars and cents, the little guy brings the best bargain to the table - again. As anyone with kids or pets knows, a microfiber couch or chair is worth its weight in gold, but at Lebow’s you won’t have to pay it. Ashley model 7500238, a 90 inch, three-seat microfiber couch in mocha brown, is only $399. Raymour & Flanigan, a corporate competitor with local branches, couldn’t come close to matching this deal. Their lowest priced microfiber couch of the same size, a Vegas, was $499.

Once we've found the furniture that will complete us for the price we can afford, we rarely think about how it's going to make its way into the reality of our living rooms.  Lebow's Furniture has managed to make that transition a gentle one by offering something their competitors do not: free delivery (within 20 miles of the store) and free, full set-up and installation. When compared to Raymour & Flanigan, that's an additional savings of approximately $37.50 for items under $500 and $75.00 for items over $500. Cha-ching!

Go Here, Not There and get a great deal more than a great deal!
