Unpretentious yet sophisticated, blending classic taste with modern sensibilities, it is truly furniture that transcends generations as a "must have." Whether you prefer the purity and authenticity of Stickley's Arts and Crafts designs, the comfort of its hand-tailored upholstery, or the contemporary flair of the modern collection, you will find something to suit your lifestyle.
What is the Stickley Difference? Stickley furniture is defined by quality. They use Quartersawn White oak which is a method of sawing oak so the cut it made parallel to the wood's medullary rays instead of across. This special cut yields a limited quantity of top grade boards featuring ray flake, the decorative wavy pattern prominent in quartersawn wood.
In addition to the quartersawn oak, Stickley's constructions standards meet the quality standards you would expect to find in the furniture you choose from Townhouse Galleries. They use Quadralinear posts, which is when four quatersawn solid white oak boards are mitered and then glued around the center post. Blind Dovetailed Cross Rails are also a Stickley standard which strengthens the case from side to side. This joint is self-locking even without glue, and separation of the end panels is impossible, unless the wood is split apart. Dowel joints rely on glue which can fail over time.
Stickley's tongue and groove joints ensures accurate board alignment and strong glue joints which permits increased lumber thickness for solid, lasting furniture. Purchasing furniture is a big decision. That is why we want you to know that when you shop with us you are getting the best quality in industry. Thank you for visiting our blog and we look forward to seeing you soon!

What makes some companies different from others? Today we want to feature American Leather furniture. We have been offering American Leather for many years here at Townhouse Galleries and we are still very excited about it! We feel they offer some of the best leather and fabric sofas, chairs, sleeper sofas, and media room furniture on the market today. One of the things that sets them above the rest is their commitment to the environment. They were a founding member of the Sustainable Furniture council, a non-profit organization created to promote sustainable practices in the furniture industry. Important distinguishing features about their furniture are:
All the wood used in their frames is harvested from sustainable forest. They recycle over two million pounds of leftover wood and are able to use recycled and scrap hardwood to repurpose the wood. This is not used in the frames, but shows a commitment to the waste generated in the manufacturing process. The glues are chemical-free, water-based binders that doesn't contain or release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Their leather is dyed using water-based solvents and pigments offering 35 environmentally friendly leathers made through natural, chrome free, chemical free processes. The cushions include soy-based foam, which is fully recyclable and available in a wide assortment of firmness and densities. (The foam is also free of CFCs)!
The American Leather factory is committed to conservation. They use automatic light shut-offs, encourage recycling and a focus on environmentally conscious decisions by all their employees... The furniture is made in Dallas, Texas. This means that the products don't travel across an ocean to arrive to you. They come to you faster and with a much smaller carbon footprint than imported goods. So go ahead and feel good about your next leather purchase here at Townhouse Galleries. Like we keep saying... we want you to have the highest quality furniture available to you! Right here in Huntsville and Decatur, AL.
Is this heat getting to you all? It has been so hard to keep our buildings and homes cool with all these high heat index days! Did you know that the South accounts for 44 percent of the nations energy use! What an opportunity for all of us to adopt energy efficiency! I was reading a blog yesterday about energy in the southeast and I want to share a quote from Dr. Marilyn Brown, an internationally recognized leader in the analysis and interpretation of energy futures in the U.S, to move energy efficiency from its current lowly status as a personal virtue to the transformational powerhouse I know it to be, we need to raise our expectations much higher. This begins by changing our goal from showing that we can do something on energy efficiency toward a goal of doing everything that is both technically possible and economically cost-effective to advance energy efficiency into every facet of our lives. It is up to all of us to make the best decisions when it comes to energy. Have a home energy audit done at your house and see where you could make a difference! Here at Townhouse Galleries we offset some of our own energy use by participating in TVAs Green Power Switch Program. We believe in clean sources of energy and have implemented energy saving technologies where we can.
One overlooked relationship to energy is the amount of energy that goes into a making piece of furniture. Do you ever pause to think of the energy cycle of your purchases? Many pieces of furniture travel great distances and require a tremendous amount of fossil fuels to reach your homes and our showroom. It is refreshing to see consumer dollars go to support companies that strive to shorten the energy cycle and use renewable sources of energy and supplies. Simply Amish furniture is about as green as your can get when it comes to furniture. Stickley Furniture is another great story of a company committed to Sustainability. The lines we carry that Im most impressed with to date are Hickory Chair, American Leather, Stressless, Stickley and Simply Amish. More and more companies are joining the cause and making furniture sustainably. We would like to think that we are Huntsville and Decaturs best source for sustainable furniture (let us know what you think). The story is changing and we are excited about it. If this is of interest to you, be sure to ask our designers to help you choose furniture from companies that are going the extra mile right now and you can always count on all of our quality furniture lasting for years to come. Which keeps you, your bank account, and our landfills happy!
