The Ashley Furniture team includes a full time design group dedicated to creating furniture styles that will complement any decorating style. Then, Ashley Furniture production teams carefully build each piece, ensuring quality construction and workmanship.

Because the Ashley Team controls all processes from design to delivery, AFH is able to reduce its costs and pass these savings on to its customers as Exclusive Ashley Furniture HomeStore Pricing.

Second, Ashley Furniture stores are locally owned and operated. Because the firm’s store owners and their team members live and work in the same areas in which their stores are located, store managements have better insight into the needs and preferences of AFH’s local customers. Additionally, many of AFH’s stores actively participate in charitable events that promote the continued growth, development and enrichment of their communities.
