Vintage & rustic home decor and furniture are a hot trend right now. Many want these pieces in their home, but they do not know where to start and are afraid of creating a disjointed look to their home. Whether you want to make your entire interior design vintage & rustic or just add accents to your home to create a unique look and feel, these tips will help you achieve that goal.

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.

Ask any of our sales associates (they're in the red shirts) for more information on all our amazing made in the USA products.
