\nFOREST–Moncrief Furniture has recently expanded to offer more space and a better shopping experience for customers.
\n
\nBusiness owner Bingham Moncrief purchased a building adjacent to Moncrief Furniture on First Street and added approximately 1,800 square feet to the existing business.<\/p>\n
The building previously housed Wanda’s Cut N Stuff.<\/p>\n
The expansion allowed Moncrief Furniture to add a dining section to the business. Moncrief said a lot of work was required to get the new area ready for showcasing. A new roof had to be put in as well as a new storefront.<\/p>\n
“It had to be rebuilt totally,” he said.<\/p>\n
But Moncrief says it was worth the effort as many customers have stopped in to browse after noticing the new addition.<\/p>\n
“People driving by have noticed it,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of good compliments on it. It gives us more room to be able to show more furniture.”<\/p>\n
The expansion was completed about a month ago. A variety of dining room suits and accessories are now housed in the roomy expansion for convenient customer browsing.<\/p>\n
In all, Moncrief Furniture includes over 16,000 square feet of furniture, including dining, bedroom, mattresses and living room.<\/p>\n
The business currently has in inventory over 100 recliners to fit any size person in a variety of colors.<\/p>\n
Moncrief Furniture has been in business since 1992 when Moncrief purchased the business from Jim’s Furniture.<\/p>\n
Forest has had a furniture store since the mid-1950s when Stegall Furniture was in business. The store changed hands through the years before Moncrief purchased it in 1992.<\/p>\n
Moncrief later purchased Forest Furniture in 2004 and combined it with Moncrief Furniture.<\/p>\n
Over the years, the business has strived to keep customers shopping locally with “low prices” and “friendly, hometown service.”<\/p>\n
“Our goal is to have better prices than anybody around,” Moncrief said. “We’ve got good prices and a good selection of furniture.”<\/p>\n
