What a diverse product line Stanley Furniture offers! Their broad offering allows their customers to select styles ranging from cottage to contemporary to traditional or transitional.
They set an example by creating furniture that is a work of art.
Craftsmanship
Their product is hand-crafted from fine quality woods and often includes other exciting materials such as aluminum, marble, steel, leather or glass.
Just some of the special features of Stanley wood furniture are mortise and tenon joints, dovetailing of drawers front and back, well-mounted sides and tops and heavy duty center drawer guides.
Styling
When looking for timeless pieces to be passed along from one generation to the next, selecting pieces from the traditionally-styled line is always appropriate.
Or, look to the contemporary line, with its clean architectural styling, as a perfect solution for the modern lifestyle.
Finishes
Stanley distinguishes itself via the art of special finishing techniques.
During their finishing process, antiquing or distressing follows the glaze step and is done by hand. Their many finish options include such exotic names as Coastal Living Lemon Twist and Tre Venti Caramel.
Exciting Coastal Living collection
Together with Coastal Living magazine's editors, Stanley Furniture designers created the Coastal Living Collection. It's not difficult to find pieces for every room of the house, since they have included many coastal colors, materials and finishes and two very distinct looks to select from. These looks are described as 'resort' and 'cottage.'
With pieces from this collection designed for use inside or out of doors, you aren't limited to furnishing indoor spaces with this motif.
(We're happy to report that Coastal Living magazine and Stanley Furniture, joined forces to sponsor a Boston Pops concert in Nantucket, Massachusetts. The event raised close to two million dollars for Nantucket Cottage Hospital.)
Furniture Care Instructions
You will want to preserve the beauty of your Stanley furniture for years to come. Here are some tips that will help you do just that.
Furniture should not be placed either in a damp area or direct sunlight.
Be careful not to place furniture on top of or in front of air conditioning or heating vents.
If using the top surface of your furniture as a writing surface, be sure to use some protective padding below.
Should anything spill on the furniture, of course you will want to wipe it up immediately.
Dust often with a clean, lint-free cloth. Using a furniture polish that does not contain wax or silicone, polish every six months for best results.
Because some rubbers and plastics have ingredients that may damage your furniture's finish, avoid putting rubber or plastic items directly on furniture surfaces.
Stanley Furniture is available both locally and online through independent furniture retailers.
Keep in mind that purchasing from a local retailer does have certain advantages over purchasing through the internet. When purchasing locally, you will be working with a furniture specialist who can help you make selections, you will have a local delivery service and closer access to after-sale service, should it be required.
You can transform each room of your home into your own special retreat with Stanley's fine furnishings.
