Used Thomasville Furniture

Buying used Thomasville Furniture can be a bargain. Made to last, Thomasville's furniture has been known for its quality for over a hundred years, and it's quality and attention to detail make it a good choice either new or used.

Used Furniture Can Be Stylish Too

Superior craftsmanship results in a superior product that can stand the test of time. Since its inception in 1904 with a superbly crafted chair, Thomasville has been famous for quality products and innovative designs.

Currently sold through a series of 150 regional independent Thomasville Furniture Stores and carried by over 400 major retailers nationwide, Thomasville's signature lines are among the most popular in the furniture industry. It's no accident that the two biggest historical influences on the focus of the company were timber farmers. T.J. and C. F. Finch, entrepreneurs and majority company stockholders, knew wood and appreciated quality construction and attention to detail. Thomasville still represents those core values. This is one reason why used Thomasville Furniture is still sought after.

The craftsmen at Thomasville use solid woods and veneers to create their fine wooden pieces. No two are exactly alike because each tree has its own unique markings and character. Bringing out the beauty of these patterns is one of the ways that Thomasville creates distinctive and exceptional products.

Thomasville uses burl woods and crotch mahogany on some of its wood furnishings. Pieces made with these woods can develop hairline cracks over time. These marks express the unique nature of the wood itself, the forces that formed it, and the ambient conditions that still affect it. Hairline checks are not flaws, and minor cracking in these uniquely grained woods is a part of the natural aging process of Thomasville's heirloom quality pieces. The presence of these slight imperfections doesn't mean neglect by the previous owner or poor workmanship. When evaluating new or used Thomasville wooden furniture, interpret very narrow and small cracks as part of the beauty of wood furniture made by master craftsmen.

Thomasville uses high quality fabric in its upholstered furniture, but over time pilling can occur. Pilling is the formation of small round balls of fabric lint raised above the surface of the fabric itself. This usually occurs in high wear areas, like seat cushions, backs or on chair arms. The "pills" don't occur as a part of the breakdown of the fabric. All Thomasville selected fabric is high quality and selected for durability. Pilling comes from nonstructural fabric fibers that migrate to the top of the fabric over time. Their presence will not affect the longevity of the upholstered piece.

Pills can be removed easily. For organic fabrics, like wool and cotton, brushing will often eliminate pills quickly because the fabric fibers are naturally short and come away without resistance. Enough loose fibers are sloughed off through regular wear that pilling will naturally diminish over time. For synthetic fabrics, like nylon, pills can be removed with a sweater shaver.

You will discover that Thomasville furniture can fade over time. This is true of leather, fabric and wood products as well. Environment is a big factor in color retention. Indoor lighting, airborne contaminants, and ultraviolet light will all have an impact on the rate and extent of fading.

Inspect used pieces by flipping upholstered cushions and viewing wooden or leather furniture from all sides. Items that have been well cared for will have even wear and fading from being rotated frequently and kept out of damaging sunlight. If you are trying to match an existing piece, make sure to take photos and inspect any Thomasville furniture find for minimum and even fading.

Age and slight wear in quality previously owned Thomasville furniture can add to the patina of wood and leather, and help create style and ambience in your home.
