From a rather humble beginning as a tiny Mexican rustic furniture store in a strip mall in Odessa, Florida in July 2001, the Treehouse Gallery has evolved into a 10,000 sq foot business with an eclectic selection of almost every line of furniture and accessory. Through it all, we have strived to maintain our basic mission:
(1) To offer furniture that we and you want to own at prices we can afford. It is relatively easy to find great furniture that costs a fortune, or inexpensive furniture of questionable quality and boiler plate design. We strive to find pieces that you want to own because of their great quality and style, but at prices very competitive with discount chains. In the beginning, we offered anything as long it was a rustic Mexican piece in some shade of brown. Through trial, error, and a lot of hard work, we now have over 70 suppliers from every part of the world who provide us with a wide range of styles, materials and colors. We are especially proud of the colorful paint jobs and hand painted, distressed finishes we now offer. We have come a long way from “any shade of brown.”
(2) To make browsing or buying furniture a fun experience. We absolutely hate that feeling when you walk into a store and are treated like a piece of tuna by shark-like salespeople. We think it is deceptive to offer permanent 30% off sales of furniture that is marked up an extra 30%, or to offer ridiculously low financing of overpriced, low quality products. All of our salespeople are here because they love our store, they like talking about the pieces, and they don’t work on commission. Unless you have a question, they let you have fun browsing. We play great international music from CDs you can buy, and offer wine and bread from Mazzaro’s Italian deli a block away. Our sales events are like a big party with great food and entertainment. As we like to say, it’s not just a store, it’s an experience.
