Art Van Furniture, Warren, Mich., has been named "Kids Retailer of the Year" by bedroom and dining furniture vendor Legacy Classic.

"Art Van's high standards of business practices have made a significant impact in the furniture industry today," Legacy Classic President Lee Boone said in presenting the award at the recent High Point Furniture Market. "Art Van Furniture is a role model for the retail world to envy and we are proud to be honoring this exceptional company."

Legacy Classic Furniture, one of the largest youth furniture manufacturers, singled out Art Van for its passion and commitment to the field. Art Van Furniture carries 20 room groups at their stores and additional furniture may even be custom ordered.

"Our focus is to help create an environment where children can imagine, create and grow. With our extensive assortment of furniture and accessories, we can serve families from 'crib to college,'" said Melinda Lehman, Art Van youth buyer. "There are so many great new ways to make a child's room both fun and functional. Children today are much more involved in the decision making, and parents are happily surprised at the range of choices and the quality of products."

"This is truly an honor," said Gary Van Elslander, president of Art Van Furniture. "To be recognized by one of market leaders in children's furniture and at the same time creating wonderful homes for the people of Michigan."
