Ashley Furniture weekly update post for Thursday, April 24, 2014

Well, it feels like the dust has – somewhat – settled as we find our groove in our new location.  Our wonderful electric sign along North Ave. keeps mysteriously turning off for no apparent reason and some of our aisles sorta disappear as you’re walking down them looking at the rows of furniture – but those are all fixable (we hope!).

People still aren’t sure where our new store is located (730 E. North Ave. Carol Stream) or our hours (Thursdays and Fridays from 1 to 8 and Saturdays from 9 to 4).  And how weird is it that my Friday blog post is now on Thursday?  Super weird!

There’s new staff I need to introduce you to – whom I’m very excited about – but our new one week policy to pick up purchased furniture is hard for some customers (though we are again offering paid delivery which should help).

All that to say, change is wonderful and challenging at the same time!  Thankfully, what hasn’t changed is the fabulous donations we keep getting week after week.  What follows are photos of some of what was received this week.  Let’s take a look.

amazing Walter E. Smithe two piece leather sectional that’s both gorgeous and comfortable!  The leather is faded in spots which gives it a distressed look and doesn’t diminish it’s appeal.  Priced $795 (fantastic wood and glass square coffee table for $135)
