Talsma Furniture was honored recently by Bassett furniture for being its top Bassett Design Center in volume for 2022. The Michigan retailer has four locations and is celebrating its 75th year.
“We are honored to receive this award for the 3rd year in a row,” said Jessica Talsma-Smith. “We are blessed to have a talented staff who value the dedication of our Bassett partners.”
Talsma was presented with laser-engraved plaques made from solid Appalachian maple panels, the same wood used in Bassett’s signature Bench*Made furniture line.
“Talsma has been a great partner with Bassett and embraced our selling concept and our brand aesthetic,” said Matt Johnson, Bassett’s VP of sales. “They’re just good people who do an exceptional job with store displays, marketing, and customer service. It’s always a top notch operation.”
