The Room Store

The Room Store

The Room Store is a chain of furniture retail stores in the eastern and southern United States with 60 locations in eight states. The company specializes in retailing all the pieces of furniture for an entire room rather than individual pieces of furniture. For example, a table may be sold with chairs and other dining room accessories in a package rather than a table alone. Room store ranks as one of the top 25 furniture retailers in the United States.
