“We had an amazing experience with Kenny at Earla’s! He was fun to work with, knew what he was talking about, and made the overall experience worth the money spent! We look forward to working with Kenny and Earla’s on future home purchases!”
“Very happy with purchase of our new wood insert for fireplace. From the salesman to installers, all very professional. Installers were very conscientious with home and property during visit to measure & installation. We are looking forward to enjoying warm winter days in our home.”
“We discovered this place by chance while in Olmsted Township about a month ago and decided to step inside—turns out, it was the grand opening of their sister store! We were warmly welcomed by Nicole, who shared great insight about their business and the quality craftsmanship they offer. She also told us about their main location in North Royalton, which we later visited. At the main store, we met the owner, Gary, who was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. As we explored, we were blown away by the beautiful, high-quality furniture—perfect for our new home. One piece in particular caught our eye: a stunning 12-foot live edge sycamore table. We were amazed it was made from a single slab of wood! While we initially wondered if it might be too big, we couldn’t stop thinking about our dream of hosting family and friends at one long table—no leaves or extensions needed. After some thought, we knew it was the perfect fit. We reserved the table and arranged for movers in advance. Gary and his team kindly held the piece for over a month while we prepared for our move. When the time came, our movers picked it up and set it up in our new home, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Both Gary and Nicole were incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating throughout the entire process. If you're searching for a timeless, statement piece for your home, we highly recommend The Furniture Nook. We've even included a photo of the table in its new home. Thank you again—we’ll definitely be sending referrals your way!”
