Our Why

Why We Exist

For years, we've been afraid to put this on our website.

Not because we're ashamed of what we believe, but because we know how many people have been hurt, judged, or condemned by those who claim to follow Jesus. The last thing we want is for someone to associate our company with that. And if we're being completely honest, we've also been afraid it might cost us customers.

But neither of those fears is a good enough reason to hide why this company really exists.

We're followers of Jesus. We love Him with all our hearts, and more than anything, we want others to experience the love, joy, and peace we've found in Him.

That's what motivates us every morning. It's why we want to build this business into something much bigger than a furniture company.

Jesus taught that the greatest commandments are to love God and love your neighbor as yourself. That's where our company's mission comes from:

Love People. Bring Comfort.
Our mission

The comfort starts with the sofa. But our hope is that it goes so much further than that.

We want it to be reflected in how we treat our customers, how we care for our employees, how we stand behind the furniture we make, and how we serve people in our community. We want this business to be a place where people feel valued, cared for, and loved.

And as we grow, our hope is that we can use what God has given us to bring comfort to people far beyond our stores and factory, even around the world.

A few things we want you to know

You don't have to believe what we believe. Our team and our customers come from all different backgrounds, faiths, and walks of life, and our faith is never a requirement to work here. You're welcome here, and you'll never be pressured to share our faith.

We won't always get it right. We're not perfect, and neither is our company. But we're going to keep trying to love people the way Jesus taught us to, with kindness, compassion, grace, and generosity.

We'd love to talk. If you're ever curious about our faith, have questions, or just want to talk about Jesus, we would genuinely love that conversation. You're always welcome to reach out to us.

Our greatest hope is that through this business, people might experience a little of the love of Jesus. And maybe even come to know Him for themselves.

Love in Action

Comfort Beyond the Sofa

A few of the ways we've tried to live out our mission in Austin. We're just getting started.

Second Chance Initiative

We work with the Texas Transitional Center to give people reentering society the chance to learn a skill. We believe that if you have breath in your lungs, you have a purpose.

Austin Disaster Relief Network

When floods hit our community, we worked with ADRN to get families the furniture they needed as quickly as possible — helping turn houses back into homes.

Season of Caring

For years we've partnered with the Statesman's Season of Caring, donating furniture to families nominated by local nonprofits and offering new furniture at wholesale price.
