Concepts Furniture has closed their retail brick and mortar business and launched an online store. The website for the new business is http://www.conceptsfurniture.com.

Concepts Furniture's website states that "the goal is to bring many of the high end looks we have been selling for years in our retail stores to the internet."

In addition, Concepts furniture invites shoppers to contact them for hard to find items.

"Internet sales are similar to retail brick and mortar sales except that if you do not treat the customer right there is a much bigger neighborhood for them to share their experience with. We want your experiences to be good and we want them shared from coast to coast so let us know how we do," state Steve and Amy of Concepts Furniture.
