What type of Family Room furniture is right for your Family? No more mistakes!
What will you do in your Family Room Next Time?

Over the past few years the most popular category of furniture by far has been furniture for the family room.
Its easy to put off new bedroom, new dining room, new occasional tables, etc…but family room furniture just wears out.
Most of our customers have chosen to buy better quality before they come to the store. Everyone buys the “$399 reclining leather sofa” once, but after a few months they realize that just like everything else you buy…you get what you pay for.
I’m happy to say that the entire staff at Aven’s is intimately familiar with the what makes the products we carry a value, and a good choice for your family.
So its out with the old and in with the new. But what to buy?? Fabric or leather, stationary or motion?
Her are some thought that may help you make that decision.
Stationary Upholstery is non reclining furniture. It doesn’t move. Stationary sofas are more comfortable to sit in, and lay on. You can lounge across the length of the sofa and not feel the framework of the individual reclining pieces in your back. We often see people use a chaise lounge on the end for the ultimate lounging position.
Thomasville Metro Chaise Sectional. In-stock at Thomasville. Allow 3 Weeks for delivery.Stationary Sofas with a matching or correlating Club Chair and Ottoman and the coolest way to decorate a family room. Nothing slouches like a good fitting club chair. The ottoman just gives your feet somewhere to go.
Flexsteel Market Street Club Chair and Ottoman. Over 1500 fabrics and about 4 to 6 weeks for delivery.
Sectionals are also a good choice…lot of room for lounging. Sectionals can take the same space as a sofa and loveseat, but will give you more seating. Most sectionals are so modular you can find pieces to fit any room.
La-Z-Boy Laurel Sectional. Custom order in you choice of hundreds of Durability Tested La-Z-Boy covers in about 8 weeks.
Another idea for comfortable slouching on a stationary sofa is a cool upholstered cocktail ottoman in front of the sofa. It doubles as a cocktail table, and an ottoman for you to put your feet up on.
Motion Upholstery reclines. Its a great choice for watching movies, reclining for a nap, or just to put your feet up. Some sectional come with sleeper components to pull out when aunt Edna comes to visit.
La-Z-Boy Devon Motion Sectional has a sleeper option!
Companies we carry like La-Z-Boy and Flexsteel offer lengthy warranties on their mechanisms. You need a good factory warranty on motion upholstery. You use it everyday. The mechanism in that Reclining Sectional,Chair, Sofa, or Loveseat is going to need service sometime during its life. You need a retailer like Aven’s and manufacturers like La-Z-Boy and Flexsteel to provide service.

Fabric or leather???

The Right People…Key to Aven’s 75 year history!
There are dozens of people that go into the success of any small business.
There are probably no more than 10 that have been the key to this small business success since 1937.
There is only 1 that has proved to be completely indispensable to our survival.
Is that person me?? Nope…not even a close 10th.
That person is Bud Kelly.
It will no doubt shock the reading public to learn that everything you buy does NOT come out of the box just like a new cell phone or Flat Panel TV. That is to say…perfect, pristine, and ready for use.
Furniture comes out of the box in varying condition. Every piece we un-carton requires at least the touch up of packing rubs, leveling of doors, and general cleaning. When I see furniture delivery trucks in my neighborhood (imagine the shock) un-cartoning goods in the consumers driveway, it always makes me wonder how ignorant of consumer expectations those dealers could possibly be.
I actually think those dealers are idiots…is that too harsh??
Bud Kelly worked with Kelly Johnson of Lockheed SR-71 fame. Yep. He is that good. He solves problems…period.
He can make products better than the factory did in the first place.
You are probably wondering if you have received any of his repaired furniture over the years. Hopefully you have. If Bud Kelly worked on it, he improved it.
Consumers have amazed me over the years. The slightest imperfection…real or imagined…leads to this statement, “I want a new one, I didn’t pay for repaired furniture”.
The truth is that regardless of price…the next “new one” we order for you will have it’s own set of issues.
Furniture is made of wood and wood products. It grows from the ground. It is all imperfect!
Bud Kelly makes the imperfect…perfect!
Regardless of the problem…nothing goes back to a furniture factory. Stores all over America have failed over the past few years for a variety of reasons. One of the main reasons is that they die of ordering more and more goods to replace imperfect goods un-cartoned in a consumers driveway.
They don’t have Bud Kelly.
I do.
Thanks for a career Bud. We all love you.
Love,
Bob
Magnussen Home Bedrooms are fantastic!
We started carrying Magnussen Home occasional tables 10 years ago. These tables today are my go to source when I buy tables. They are stylish, well made, arrive to us in perfect condition, and best of all…people like them.
Like every factory I have dealt with over the last 25 years…they all want to eat each others lunch. Companies that make sofas want to make motion. Companies that make casual dining want to make tables, and media consoles.
So it was with Magnussen Home. They became known for their tables, but wanted to be in the bedroom business. So 6 or 7 years ago they started making bedroom furniture. We bought them…notice I will always say we it was a bad idea…These bedrooms were a bad idea. The finish was poor, the scale was wrong. We and they made a error. They shouldn’t have made them, and we shouldn’t have bought them.
I don’t like to repeat failed buying efforts…so I ignored there invitations to even look at their bedrooms at Markets. I ignored them for 5 years.
Until last October…
Classic European Styling
What a great casual, relaxing, bedroom
I was so impressed with the value and finish of their new bedroom program that I ordered four sets. Two to ship right away and two more to ship in 90 days.
It should come as no shock to anyone who may read this that nearly all furniture in stores today…regardless of high end or low end…is imported from somewhere.
Storage Sleigh Bed in King or Queen
I need to buy these bedrooms at least 2 at a time to get the best pricing and best freight rates. When I buy right I can save the consumer around 15% additional off the sale price. That amounts to at least $500 over the local warehouse price. The consumer has to wait for it to ship across the ocean…but the additional savings helps ease the pain of having to wait.
Magnussen makes about 30 bedroom styles. So far we have space for 4 styles. We have sold 2 sets in the past 30 days!
That’s success in my book!

Welcome to Aven’s Furniture
Passion for what we do
With a 70 plus year history of selling and servicing Antelope Valley’s best furniture and accessories, you could say that we have a passion for beautiful finishes, the smell and feel of great genuine leather, and the way a room can come together with stunning fabrics and accessories.
We Choose to Carry Quality Products
During several national and local recessions throughout Southern California, we have found there are always consumers who would rather buy better quality products. Just like everything else you buy, the old saying ‘You Get What You Pay For‘ also holds true for furniture. At Aven’s, you’ll always find products that are higher quality, better styled, better scaled, better engineered … and yes, I’m actually going to say it … more expensive home furnishings and accessories.
Always Our Best Price
Now that I’m out in the open about the whole price/quality relationship, know this: we realize we must be very competitive in our pricing to survive in the shopping intense world of high-end home furnishings. We know you want the best price possible for everything you buy. Especially a high-dollar purchase like quality furniture for your home.
When you go shopping for furniture, keep this in mind. Who has the better ability to give you the best deal – a big box retailer with high rent, a high TV budget, a high operating overhead with hundreds of employees – or Aven’s? The answer is always Aven’s. We run a very lean and efficient business. Heck! We’ve even been in the exact same location in Lancaster, California since 1958.
If you find a lower price on anything we carry, let us know. I guarantee we can at least match it. I’ll also bet that our local Lancaster, California delivery charge of $40 is a whole heck of a lot lower than you’ve been quoted any where else!
In Home No Cost Design Service
If you talk about furniture with any of your neighbors in Southern California, I’ll bet they or someone they know has had a room designed by one of our experienced staff … because we’ve been designing beautiful rooms in the Antelope Valley since at least 1970. Let us help you! Our design help is free – you only pay for any product you purchase. What could be simpler?
