Furniture First National Buying Group

Furniture First is a purchasing cooperative of independent furniture retailers. Our members, who own retail stores across the United States, work together to leverage purchasing power with leading furniture manufacturers. Because we work together, we can bring great values in high-quality home furnishings to our communities and make locally-owned furniture stores more profitable. Our Members have a lot in common with their retail stores: experiences, merchandise, challenges and concerns. These shared interests make it easy for our Members to network, share and learn from one another.

Furniture First is about sharing vitally important information with other non-competing Members.
