COMPANY OVERVIEW

For more than 105-years Bassett has provided families with well-made, affordable home furnishings.  It was the mission of our founders to make quality furniture at a price that families could afford.  That same goal remains today.  Today’s Bassett is a group of over 130 stores located in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada.  Bassett stores offer affordable finely crafted furniture, lamps, rugs, mirrors and artwork for every room of the home.

Today we are the custom furniture specialists of Omaha.  And, because everything is handmade one at a time, every piece comes with a written limited lifetime warranty.  That’s probably another reason we keep customers for generations.  We take building customer dreams very seriously.

But we have another secret to our success.  Our designers.  Customers tell us they’re the best in the business.  We give them a portfolio of the best furniture and accessories.  We also make sure they work in a beautiful showroom.  Designers also make house calls at no additional fee. 

It seems the vision the founders had over 105-years ago continues today.

Thank you for your interest!
