When you visit Livingston's Furniture & Mattress, chances are you will be greeted by a Livingston, just as four generations of furniture shoppers have. With locations in Gloversville and Glens Falls, Livingston's offers the best mix of product value, money saving services such as Free Delivery and Financing, and over 32,000 square feet of selection. Livingston's Inc. is a fourth generation family owned corporation specializing in home furnishings retail sales and service. Founded in 1901 by William H. Livingston in Gloversville, N.Y., W.H. Livingston Furniture offered goods for the home that included furnitur, kitchen and parlor stoves, oil lamps, and various home accessories. Deliveries in this era were made by horse drawn wagon, and day-long delivery trips were common. In 1938, a building lot was purchased at 347-355 South Main Street in Gloversville. It was to become the new home of Livingston's Furniture. The move greatly increased the amount of showroom display area. The building was meant to be the ideal display space for the latest styles in home furnishings at the time, utilizing hardwood floors and display-specific lighting to accentuate products. Livingston's second retail outlet originated in Hudson Falls, N.Y. in 1959 under the supervision of William B. Livingston. Two years later Livingston's Quality Manor relocated to its current address at the corner of Dix Avenue and Quaker Road in the town of Queensbury. Under the direction of company president Laurence W. Livingston, and general manager Robert W. Whipple, the store underwent a major renovation and expansion in the mid 1990's. A grand opening was held in 1995,
and showcased the many thousands of square
feet added to the showroom floor, as well as
the new look of the building and parking area. The renovated store is easy to fing, just look
for the pyramid shaped roof over the motion
furniture showroom entrance. Today, Livingston's Inc. is a full service
furniture and mattress retailer that is commited
to providing a legitimate option to the "big
box" furniture stores that have become
common in recent years. With an updated
inventory of today's best brands and styles of
furniture and mattresses, pricing which is
more than competitive, and services that many
stores no longer offer (free delivery, set up, and
removal). Livingston's continues to strive to
be the easiest and most reliable hometown
furniture store. In January 2006, Livingston's Inc. was
recognized by the Fulton County Chamber of
Commerce & Industry as the 2005 Centennial
Award recipient. Based on a long standing
tradition of great selection, affordable pricing, and service that can be counted on, Livingston's looks forward to being a contributing part of the community for many years to come. At Livingston's, we are not looking for just a sale, we are interested in developing a continuing relationship with our valued customers.
