When one walks into a furniture store, they want to feel welcome and at home, and that is exactly what you get when you visit Beck’s Furniture Store in Bonners Ferry.
While Beck’s Furniture has been a fixture in the community for the last 20 years, owners Richard and Sherry Beck had been in the furniture industry long before then.
The couple began to refinish and reupholster furniture in June of 1979. With an increasing demand for their services, the Becks decided to pursue their passion full time and opened as a furniture refinishing business in 1984.
“It evolved into furniture retail sales in 1996,” said Sherry. “We built the first portion of our current building in 1996 and expanded in 2002 to offer a larger selection.”
Beck’s Furniture features furniture for nearly every room in your home including the dining room, living room and den. They also offer TV entertainment, bedroom furniture, mattresses, office furniture and futons.
With manufacturers such as Ashley Furniture, Stanton International, Englander, International Furniture Direct, Sunny Designs, Capel Rugs and much more, the Becks make sure they are providing their customers with the best choices in both quality and affordability.
Each year they attend the World Furniture Market in Las Vegas to check out the newly introduced styles and learn more about the newer companies. “Many of the companies have ‘show specials’ so we can purchase their goods at a reduced price and pass those deals on to our customers,” said Richard who adds that this buying strategy has been successful in all departments especially in the rug department, where 100 percent wool rugs can be quite costly.
Their no pressure sales approach offers customers the chance to feel at home while they shop. “Customers many times need guidance or information. We assist by helping to answer their questions and offer the support they need in making their decisions. And, with our background in furniture refinishing repair and upholstery, we can select merchandise built to last and make repairs when necessary in-house,” said Richard.
The Becks attribute much of their success to their upbringing. “My grandfather taught me about repairing, refinishing and upholstering furniture,” said Richard who went on to take classes to learn more about the profession. “Sherry’s grandmother taught her to sew at an early age. These skills have helped us to provide in-house services to our customers, which greatly contributes to servicing our customers.”
Richard also shares that his employees, some of whom have been there for over a decade, are dependable and dedicated which greatly contributes to the store’s success. “We support each other through ups and downs, and we’re always there for each other,” said Richard. “I’m really grateful for the team we have. We couldn’t have the success that we do without them.”
And of course there is the community of Bonners Ferry who has been dedicated to shopping locally.
“I can’t begin to express how blessed we’ve been to have that kind of support for over 30 years,” said Richard.
But the support goes both ways. Eager to give back to the community, Beck’s Furniture contributes to many organizations and causes including the local fire departments, Bonners Ferry High School, Troy High School Booster, Boundary County Restorium, Veterans, Distinguished Young Women sponsor, 4-H, and the Boundary County Fair to name a few.
Next time you are in the market for new furniture, make Beck’s your first stop! It is bound to be your last!
