    Ashley HomeStore is the retail arm of Ashley Furniture Industries, the largest furniture manufacturer in the United States, with the first HomeStore opening in 1997. Locations carry Ashley-manufactured living room, bedroom, dining, mattress, outdoor and kids' furniture across a wide range of styles and price points. Many HomeStores are independently owned and operated under license, though all merchandise sold is Ashley-made.

    Big Lots, tracing to Consolidated Stores Corporation founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1967 and renamed Big Lots in 2001, is a deep-discount closeout retailer selling furniture alongside home decor, seasonal goods and other overstock merchandise. The chain filed for bankruptcy and briefly ceased operations in late 2024 before Variety Wholesalers purchased and relaunched it in 2025 with roughly 219 stores. Furniture selection varies by store and shipment since inventory is sourced as manufacturer closeouts rather than a fixed catalog.

    American Freight, founded in Lima, Ohio in 1994, sells furniture, mattresses and appliances sourced as manufacturer overstock, customer returns and other surplus inventory at discount prices through a warehouse-style, in-stock model. The chain went through a 2024 bankruptcy and liquidation before relaunching in 2025 under a new licensing arrangement. Because inventory turns over irregularly by nature of its closeout sourcing, specific brand carriage is not consistent from store to store.

Questions shoppers ask

Do furniture showrooms in Gastonia require an appointment?
Most accept walk-ins during posted hours. A store that works primarily by appointment or trade referral will usually say so on its own site — worth a quick check before a special trip.
Is delivery included in the price on the tag?
Rarely. Delivery, white-glove setup and haul-away of an old piece are usually quoted separately from the sticker price. Ask for an all-in number before you commit.
Does this guide sell furniture?
No. This is an editorial ranking guide, not a retailer. We don't sell furniture, take orders or process payment — every store listed runs its own showroom and its own checkout.
