Because of his passion for finding a bargain, Mike Ringer wanted to open a store that offered bargains of every variety. When he and Dianne, his wife of 18 years, decided to focus on furniture, they opened a store three years ago with the intention of bringing people unique products of excellent quality at prices they could afford. THaT* Furniture Store was born with the mission to sell “imperfectly fine furniture at 50 to 80 percent off retail.” To appease his sense of adventure and treasure hunting, Mike travels all over the country to find the pieces he displays in the store. Three years ago, the store inventory consisted mainly of furniture with minor flaws such as scratches or dents. Now a much smaller percentage of the furniture hosts barely perceptible flaws. Through his solid reputation and strong history with suppliers, Mike is able to find the finest pieces of new furniture and antique reproductions crafted from mahogany, oak, leather, and other heirloom-quality material. These pieces tend to be both leading name-brand manufacturers as well as lesser known brands that are closeouts, showroom samples, flawed pieces, mistakenly ordered or overstock items from other stores. Their loss is our gain as these pieces make their way into Mike and Dianne’s showroom at prices 50 to 80 percent off what the big retailers would charge. On many pieces, you’ll still find the original pricing displayed close to the new price so you can easily see the difference.

Mike is so proud of his finds and so happy to see the look of satisfaction on the faces of his customers that he is always bringing in new pieces to display. Every week boasts a new inventory at THaT* Furniture Store as new products come in. Interior designers, home and business owners come weekly and browse the store to see what has changed and grab their pick from the dynamic assortment before someone else does.

Customer service that goes above and beyond is the norm at this furniture store. Because it is family-owned and operated, this store overflows with the personal touches of faith and family. From a friendly sales staff to a nationwide delivery service, the Ringers have made it their job to help the customer in any way possible. When you drop into the showroom at 1005 N. Salisbury Blvd., in Salisbury next to Ponzetti’s Pizza, you walk into an inviting atmosphere of smiling faces and furniture that longs to be touched by the browsers who come from states away. When you fall in love with your favorite armoire, chair, table, or cabinet, the exact same piece is the one delivered to your doorstep, not a similar boxed item from the back room. So you never have to wonder if that fabulous chair will feel the same when you get it home.

The newest innovation to hit THaT* Furniture Store is the introduction of its line of “That-Surpedic” memory foam mattresses that are a fraction of the cost of regular retail Tempur-Pedic® mattresses. Why pay full retail when you can feel the same comfort and support at less than half the price? Relax in style without busting your budget. That has been the philosophy behind this furniture store since its very first day in business and the Ringers continue to bring you the newest trends of exceptional quality at affordable prices to this day.

The wonderful side benefit of shopping at THaT* Furniture Store is that when visitors come to your home or business and comment on your fantastic fine furniture, they will think you spent a lot more on it than you did. That’s when you can tell them that your antique Chinese bench was actually 50 to 80 percent off retail at that little hidden treasure trove of home décor called THaT* Furniture Store.
