MAKE ROOM EXPANSION CREATES ACCESS TO EVEN MORE EXQUISITE FURNISHINGS.
Your home is your haven. It's a place where treasured pieces can transform a space. As you search for these pieces, the last thing you want is today’s supply chain woes to affect how soon you can enjoy them. Steven Shell Living, a specialty furniture store (and much more!), has nicely pivoted to avoid these woes by expanding not only their in-stock inventory but also their warehouse space. This helps the iconic retailer, located in Village District, meet their customers’ needs— which is no surprise since their customers are always at the forefront of what they do. Kaleigh Koch, manager of Steven Shell Living in Raleigh, explains: “We currently have more inventory than ever, adding new items to the floor on a daily basis.” This tastefully selected inventory includes more than just their renowned, hand-crafted furniture— Steven Shell offers everything from artwork and exquisite home accessories to light fixtures, ceramics, gifts, and glassware. “We make sure to keep our in-stock custom upholstery and case goods rolling in, too,” Koch adds. The new warehouse space helps achieve this mission by creating space above and beyond what’s already in the 5,000-square-foot retail space. It even creates more upholstery options for Steven Shell clients. As an example, customers are looking for comfortable sofas with long-lasting performance fabrics that their families can enjoy for years to come. With the warehouse space, the company can offer many more fabric and style options than what would fit on the retail floor. It also helps cut what could have been a six- or seven-month wait time and lets the customer take their new furnishings home with them the same day. This way, says 72
