Under the agreement, Williams Home Furnishings is now part of the Furniture of America group and will be known as Furniture of America North California. Effective immediately, it is responsible for FOA distribution in Northern California and the Northwest U.S.
“We want to provide our valued partners with the best and largest assortment of quality furniture in the industry, while still maintaining the quality and service standards our customers have come to expect from us,” said David Chang, president and CEO of Williams Home Furnishings.
Many of Williams Home Furnishings’ best sellers are already part of Furniture of America’s catalog.

“And with the Furniture of America sourcing team in Asia, we become part of a much larger manufacturing and sourcing entity known for quality products and excellent quality control,” he said.
The merger will allow the companies to better serve customers in a number of ways, including with more efficient deliveries with the companies fleet.
"We are very excited to welcome the Williams team into the Furniture of America Family," said Michael Genrich, senior vice president of sales. "We have known and respected Mr. Chang and his business for a long time. Their 'put the customer first' business model is similar to ours, and everything just fell in to place at the right time for us to forge this relationship. They have an excellent reputation and by joining forces, together we can continue to offer more value for less to our customers.”
