Furniture isn’t meant to simply fill the space in one’s home, but instead it encourages you to create meaningful spaces. It’s easy to overlook the fact that the furniture in your home will play host to countless memories, but that is what makes furniture shopping so special. From that first sofa you buy for your new apartment, to the dining table where family traditions will be made, furniture continuously plays an important role.

We recognize the substantial impact that furniture has on people’s lives, and that has led us to develop a passion for simplifying the furniture shopping experience. Through the inspiring and informative content we create, we are better able to connect people with the furniture that will allow them to create meaningful spaces.

Who will be successful here

Our standards are extremely high. Most job seekers say that they want to be successful, but very few are actually willing to put in the time and energy necessary to be the best that they can be, and to help their team and their clients be truly great. If you're just looking for a "job," please do NOT apply. We are looking to recruit highly motivated individuals who want to join a team, who are committed to personal excellence, and who don't just want to be good, they want to be great. We are looking for strategic thinkers, self-motivators, and executers.

Compensation

We hire people for a sixteen week trial period that pays $1,040 every two weeks. During that time you will get to meet our team, learn about our business, and receive extensive training. After the trial period, all individuals who are successful will be asked to stay on long term, and will be given more responsibility and a pay increase of a salary of $34,000 per year. We have paid generous bonuses every year. Salary increases are based on individual growth and contribution toward company success. If you stand out, so will your compensation.
