United Furniture Warehouse is a Canadian furniture distributor and seller, with stores across the country, having expanded originally from stores in Vancouver.
The company specialises in selling discount furniture, in a wholesale warehouse-style environment, similar to Costco.
The company once operated stores in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Utah until 2003. [http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/stories/2003/01/06/story1.html]
United Furniture Warehouse is now owned & operated by The Brick.

United Furniture Warehouse has a somewhat well-known musical cue at the end of its televised ads in Canada, including the phrase "United Furniture Warehouse" sung in bass, followed closely by a "bump bump!" sound effect — a pair of orchestral hits that are simultaneous to the flashing of the company's logo on the screen. In one of its commercials, they poked fun at this fact, with an employee singing the jingle and a group of children pointing out, "You forgot the bump bump!" Steve Landesberg hosted the warehouse commercial while it was still in the United States.
