About First Class Furniture
From Joe’s Vision to Our Next Chapter
First Class Furniture has always been more than a store — it’s been a part of this community. For over 20 years, Joe built First Class Furniture with care, integrity, and a genuine love for the people he served. He didn’t just sell furniture; he created a place where neighbors felt welcome, conversations happened easily, and relationships mattered. When the time came for Joe to pass the torch, he did so in the most meaningful way possible — to neighbors and friends who share that same love for community.
Our Story
We’re Stephanie and Justin, locals who are incredibly honored to carry First Class Furniture forward. This transition didn’t begin as a business deal — it began as a friendship. Joe believed in us, trusted us with something he built from the ground up, and gave us an opportunity we don’t take lightly. We are deeply grateful for the foundation he created and the community he nurtured, and we’re committed to honoring that legacy every day.
​
Outside the store, our lives are rooted right here as well. We live nearby on a small farm, where you’ll often find us tending to animals, working with our hands, and enjoying the slower pace that makes this area so special. That connection to land, home, and everyday life shapes how we think about furniture — it should be comfortable, durable, beautiful, and truly lived in.
​
As the new stewards of First Class Furniture, our goal is simple: to preserve what made this store special while thoughtfully evolving it for today. We care deeply about supporting local makers and small businesses whenever possible, and we’re intentional about the vendors and partners we work with.
Every piece in our showroom is chosen with real homes and real lives in mind.
At its heart, First Class Furniture is still about neighbors, trust, and community — and we’re so grateful to be part of yours. Whether you’re furnishing a new home, refreshing a favorite space, or just stopping in to say hello, we’re always happy to welcome you.
