Voted best home furnishing store and best specialty furniture store since 2016, they also celebrate one of their founders being named in the top 40 under 40 in the home furnishing business. "All our employees are rockstars," says owner Doug Schwinn who has owned the Ironhorse Home Furnishings since 2002. Their easy-going sales approach and considering their customers part of the Ironhorse Family have propelled their success and popularity among independent furniture stores. "Unlike big box stores, we have the ability to customize our furniture to fit our customers' needs," says Schwinn. "Designer style and quality can be affordable, and we have a large range of price points that all pass the Ironhorse quality test," he adds. Its highly-trained design staff also has thousands of fabrics at their fingertips to create the perfect customized sofa, recliner, home office, or bedroom. Additionally, says Schwinn, "we would like to provide more design-based services and have some great new technology to aid in the process." Family-owned and serving the Bay Area from two locations, Benicia and Santa Cruz, for more than 20 years, Ironhorse started in a small, less than a 1,000-square-foot showroom. The family and business grew, and today the showroom sprawls over 15,000 square feet in the heart of the Historic Benicia Arsenal. Ironhorse is a member of the Contemporary Design Group, a national association of independent home furnishings showrooms specializing in modern and contemporary design.
