Featured Brand – England

We love telling you more about some of the brands we carry and we hope you’re enjoying learning more about some of your favorite brands as well! Today we’d like to tell you a little more about England. So sit back and relax and have a closer look at what England is all about.

England was co-founded by Charles, Eugene, and Dwight England whose goal was to provide employment to the people of Appalachia. Having long been recognized for quality and its rapid delivery system, England attracted the attention of La-Z-Boy and in 1995 England was acquired by La-Z-Boy to operate as an independent division.

While some manufacturers attempt to reduce prices by sacrificing protection against daily ware’s and tears and using low-grade foam, wood and fabric, England maintains an honest and competitive “Us versus Them” mentality. Believing there is more to furniture then an attractive exterior, England takes just as much consideration in choosing the foam padding and high-quality wood frames that sit inside its products as it does examining styles and scrutinizing over fabrics. With a wide assortment of styles and fabrics, homeowners can rest assured, knowing that England will meet their need for quality as well as their desire for a beautiful home. England specializes in stationary and reclining living room products including sofas, loveseats, sectional sofas, chairs and ottoman.

Short on Space? Furniture that Fits

Jersey is a crowded place, there’s no doubt about that. And as it continues to grow and spaces become more urbane, it means that more and more people will likely be living in slightly smaller spaces a la NYC or West Jersey. There’s even a chance that you’re already living in an apartment that’s on the small side or are just lacking in space in general. So how can you utilize the space you have when it comes to furniture and decorating?

We found something rather neat, currently on Kickstarter, that may be the answer to the small space living problem (at the least, it looks helpful!). It’s called “Bookniture” and is based off creator and industrial designer Mike Mak’s experience living in Hong Kong (talk about limited space!). Bookniture looks just like a Moleskine notebook when folded up. But in just a flip, it expands to form a functional piece of furniture that can serve as a small table, nightstand, stool, ottoman or standing work desk. No, seriously. How cool is that? It’s made using traditional book-binding technologies and out of honeycomb boards.

We have sleeper sofas (full size and up) at affordable prices so your living room can double as your bedroom. Need a place to eat that won’t take up a lot of space?
