American Furniture Warehouse is looking at our history of over 40 years of providing our customers with the best value in the furniture business!

Under the direction of President and CEO Jake Jabs, American Furniture Warehouse (AFW) has been actively involved with our community for more than 40 years. We’re proud to support a variety of causes in Colorado, Arizona, and beyond, including education, youth, family, people in need, our environment, veterans, and agriculture. We give to hundreds of different non-profits, service organizations, K-12 schools, technical schools, and colleges on a regular basis.

AFW achieved several top rankings in the 2017-2018 Denver Business Journal Book of Lists. AFW is especially proud of our number-one position as the largest “Denver-Area Veteran-Owned Company” and as one of the top companies in the “Top Corporate Philanthropists” category.

American Furniture Warehouse has been in business for over 40 years and many people ask Jake Jabs "What is your secret?" Here are some of the reasons AFW is unique and, after all of this time, the first choice for many merchandisers to help us provide you the lowest prices anywhere, anytime.

At American Lifestyle Furniture, we support companies that manufacture their merchandise here in the USA whenever we can.

As one of the largest private employers in Colorado, we know the value American furniture manufacturers provide their communities by manufacturing their furniture in the states. On average, 70% of our merchandise comes from companies with factories here in the states. Some of these manufacturers are even located right here in Colorado, our home state.

These are just some of the companies and products that we purchase from manufacturers here in the U.S.:

• Ashley, Corinthian, Franklin, Affordable and American Sofas
• Lane, Hillcraft and Jackson Catnapper sleepers
• Sealy Posturepedic, Simmons Beautyrest and Therapedic mattresses
• Trendwood, Ashley, Log Furniture and Standard bedroom
• Sauder home office, wall units, bookcases and RTA furniture
• Artist of The West art from Circle Graphics

We are sure you are asking why we do not purchase all of our merchandise from U.S. companies? We would like to, but It's just not possible anymore for some products.

Many companies have moved their manufacturing overseas, providing fewer choices for made in the USA furniture and home decor. There are some products that are just not made here in the states anymore. You would be surprised how many products you have to buy overseas now.

Here are some merchandise items that are not made in America anymore: Electronics, TVs, DVD players, stereos, metal and glass furniture, hall trees, jewelry armoires, cheval mirrors, occasional tables, furniture with stone, gliders, electric fireplaces, and more.

As you can see, many products are not made here in the USA. That doesn't mean that when we can, it will be the right price for the customer. We still try to purchase made in the USA on anything and everything that we can.

We value our partners here in the U.S. and are honored to purchase furniture that is made here whenever we can.
