Our buyers are interested in both sectionals shown below, but they are having trouble deciding which one they like best! The red on black is a bit more bold, but the black on black still makes a great statement. We decided to turn to our customers for help!
Which one do you prefer, and why?

It’s that time again – Featured Friday! This week we asked some of the dads at American Freight to show us their favorite items in honor of Father’s Day, and one of the most popular choices was our Claret Bedroom Suite by CrownMark®.
This contemporary, masculine bedroom set makes a statement with a striking headboard with black leather-look accents. Not only do these accents provide a rich, luxurious look, but they also make a comfortable back rest for those times you want to sit in bed and enjoy a movie or good book. The low-profile footboard has raised panels that evoke a timeless feel, and the espresso finish frames the headboard, footboard, and rails.
Clean lines and matching espresso finish makes the case pieces sleek and dramatic, while silver knobs add the wow-factor. The dresser features seven large, spacious drawers with plenty of space for storage. A large, square mirror with a minimal espresso frame sits on top of the dresser, giving your room a larger, lighter feel.
If you need more storage options, add the simple three-drawer nightstand and six-drawer chest, both matching the rest of the set with the rich espresso finish and silver knobs. Each drawer on all the case pieces features a French dovetail front with wood glides for easy operation and durability. The available media chest will store all of your technology easily and add the finishing touch to this lavish bedroom suite.
Give dad a functional, relaxing, and affordable bedroom set he will love this Father’s Day – the Claret starts at just $798 for the three-piece set! Don’t forget our 100% approved free layaway program – or have the items delivered that day and ready for dad on Sunday.

Father’s Day is coming up on June 16th and we all know the typical gifts that sell big this holiday. Why not skip the ties, cologne, and power tools for something a little more special? American Freight Furniture has some great gift ideas that dad will love, and with our same-day delivery you can be sure you’ll have everything ready to surprise him this Sunday.
Recliners
A comfortable, spacious recliner is a great gift for dad – he can easily kick off his shoes and put his feet up after a long day of work. It is also great for watching sporting events and can be the perfect addition to the living room, basement, or man cave. We have recliners in a variety of colors and styles available, but two of our favorites are the Championship Brown Sugar and the Nevada Whiskey. Both are made by United Furniture Industries and offer comfortable seating with an easy-to-use reclining mechanism.
We also offer reclining sofas, loveseats, and sectionals that give dad the option of using the recliner or spreading out across the cushions. Many of these come with dual recliners, so mom can put her feet up, too! The Red River by Corinthian is one of the most popular; all of the motion furniture made by Corinthian has the Legget and Platt reclining mechanism, which is the best in the US industry.
Living Room Furniture
If dad is looking for stylish, comfortable seating without a recliner option, we have many choices he will enjoy. He and his friends can play video games, watch movies, and enjoy sporting events comfortably on our Nubuck Saddle Recliner by Corinthian. The leather-look upholstery gives the rich appearance of leather without the expense or tricky maintenance – it’s so easy to keep clean, which is great for those moments of celebration that might result in a spilled drink.
Our Resort Harvest sofa and loveseat group by Corinthian is masculine and stylish – dad will love the sturdy hardwood frame and Dacron-wrapped cushions that won’t sag. Plus the microfiber fabric is so easy to clean with soap and water – even if he spills something, he can wipe it right up before mom even notices.
Bedroom Furniture
Oftentimes the woman is the focus when considering bedroom furniture, but it is just as important for men to have somewhere to relax and get a great night’s sleep. Our Claret Bedroom Suite is the perfect combination of luxury and masculinity with a bold padded headboard and sleek, clean lines. The dark finish adds a timeless, sophisticated touch.
Dining Room Furniture
Dads love to sit around the dinner table and hear about everyone’s day – the table is also a great place for him to play card games with his buddies, help the kids with homework, and enjoy a romantic meal with his wife. The Fulton 5-piece counter-height dinette is a great choice – simple and timeless with modern touches, it looks great in any room. It has a useful 20″ Lazy Susan in the middle that makes it easy to pass items across the table, and the pedestal table base is great for storage. The perfect combination of functionality and great looks – something dad will love.
Don’t give dad another predictable gift this Father’s Day – instead, surprise him with new living room furniture, bedroom furniture, or dining room furniture from American Freight!
This week we wanted to highlight another case good that makes a staple in any house: the dining room table! Today I will be talking about the 10020 Pendleton Counter-Height Table from Standard Furniture®. This is a beautiful counter height table with 4 stools for only $398.00. Your table is measured at a humble L 40″ x W 40″ x H 36″.
Clean, casual styling gives the Pendleton a laid back character that’s all about today’s relaxed home life. Your square leg shapes on the table and seating are combined with a clean lined top for a simple rectilinear look. To complement the leg shapes, Pendleton also features square profiled chairs and counter height stools that have broad, comfortable slat backs and cushioned slip seats upholstered in a black leather-like fabric for easy wipe-clean care.
Standard takes pride in the quality and durability of their furniture. Select mango veneers, hardwood solids and quality wood products are combined in a sturdy construction to withstand family life. You can feel confident purchasing this dining table knowing that you and your family will be able to enjoy meals on it for years to come.
Finished in a popular dark merlot cherry color, Pendleton has soft, sanded corners and dark brown edge burnishing for a familiar worn-in character. The beautiful finish leaves it looking great with any style and color decor and dishware, making it easy to switch up the look as seasons change. Enjoy conversation and great meals around this stunning dinette.
Stop in to your local AF store and tell the sales team that Mia and Kelly sent you in to check out the Pendleton! You can purchase it today and have it delivered, or put it on layaway.

Moving in with your significant other is a huge step – most of the time, people worry about how they will deal with finances and living with the other person’s habits. One thing a lot of couple’s don’t consider before they move in together is how they will compromise when it comes to decorating their home. Men and women have very different ways of shopping for furniture and home decor to begin with, so having a plan in place before you tackle this big hurdle can be helpful.
The first thing you’ll want to do is go through everything that you each have individually. See what you have multiples of, decide what you’re going to keep, and determine what things you will still need. Once you’ve done this, you can start thinking about what decorating style and color scheme will work best with the items you already have. Work together to determine what you both and find a middle ground that suits you. This is a great way to maximize your budget right from the get go. Remember, if there are some things you already own that might not fit exactly with the decor ideas you have in your head, you can always consider painting or reupholstering to make it work.
Once you’re ready to begin shopping for the home, go together! Make it an adventure you embark on as a couple. Not only will it be easier to get the other person’s opinion, but it will also allow you both to learn about each other and what aesthetic you enjoy. It also makes compromising a lot simpler because you can easily look for pieces that incorporate details you both want in the home. Plus it is always more convenient to make the final decision before bringing items home so you don’t have to go back to the store to return something you picked out by yourself.
It is in the nature of men and women to have very different opinions when shopping for home goods – especially furniture. Oftentimes men want something comfortable, affordable, and durable. Women tend to be drawn to luxurious fabrics, trendy pieces, and bold colors and patterns that may cost a bit more. That doesn’t mean there is no way for you both to be satisfied! If you pick out a more feminine or masculine piece of furniture or accessory, make sure you choose it in a color that is gender neutral to help balance out the look. Keep in mind what is most realistic for your home and your lifestyle, and where you plan for your lifestyle to go over the next several years. Furniture is an investment that you want to last a long time.
Finally, make sure you develop a budget and keep it in mind while you shop for your home. If there are one or two pieces you want to spend more on, make sure they are durable staple items that have a timeless look. Remember that accessories are a great way to bring your personality into any room in your house – they are much more affordable than large furniture or art pieces and can be rotated easily depending on the season. Another great thing to keep in mind is that thrift stores and secondhand furniture stores in your area are great places to look for unique pieces that cost less. Just because something is not brand new does not mean you can’t get some great use out of it and use it to make your home your own.
Your home is somewhere that you will spend many years of happiness with your significant other – work together to make your home your own personal getaway! Decorating as a couple can be a great experience.
Today we stepped away from our upholstery spot to talk about our gorgeous Sorrento Panel Bedroom group.
A well-chosen bedroom set can greatly influence the overall look of a home by inspiring your bedroom décor throughout. We realize people find the task of choosing a bedroom set to purchase for their homes challenging. That is why we are here to help! Investing in quality furniture for your home is a good move that will add to the value of your home, as well as improve your mood when you enter a room. Our stores have a wide array of designs and styles of furniture from which you can choose the best one for your purchase.
The reason why I want to talk about one of our top vendor’s bedroom sets, Sorrento, is because this set will be a purchase that you will keep for years to come. It is a clean, classic look with added details to make it an interesting set. The European design elements borrowed from the great villas of Italy give the Sorrento its rich Old World ambiance. Notable design details include bold, oversized bed posts, decorative embossed molding details, sinuous toe plates, & metal-finished rosette medallions. If this bed doesn’t scream elegance I am not sure what else would!
Sorrento’s impressive queen or king Poster Bed has boldly proportioned its posts on its head and foot boards with a scrolled, metal-finished insert in its crown. There is also a coordinating vertical mirror in the same lavish character. Your mirror will sit on your large, spacious six drawer dresser. The dresser and chest feature bluff cuts on top drawers for an apothecary drawer look, plus waist rails for added emphasis. If you wish to have the complete set, you can special order a TV chest from your local American Freight store for media storage in your bedroom!
The tops of your bedroom pieces, including the bed post caps, are finished in marbella to add the look of sumptuous stone surfaces.
And to back up the luscious look of this set, Sorrento has folded case construction with quality engineered wood products and laminated wood grain paper veneers that have a rich dark Olympus pecan color. With great construction and wood products, you are sure to have a solid bedroom group that will withstand years of memories.
