The Evolution of Willow Furniture
Since its inception in 1996, Willow Furniture has been a beloved fixture in the Hudson Valley, starting as a modest 1,000 square foot home décor store founded by Roy and Cori Estrow, dedicated to serving the local community. Roy worked as a graphic designer, while Cori pursued a career in nursing. Originating from a single location in downtown Katonah, the furniture store was established with a vital mission: to cater to the needs of the Westchester community.
Following the birth of their daughter, the couple chose to remain local by offering a selection of giftware, home décor, and small furniture items. Business flourished following their collaboration with an American furniture builder renowned for crafting dining room tables from reclaimed pine sourced from vintage barns.
However, as the company embarked on a significant transformation, Roy suddenly passed away. Mike Leibowitz, Roy’s nephew, then brought his expertise in sales, marketing, and business development within the construction industry to the forefront as the new leader for the store.
The Willow Showroom
The existing arrangement includes several showrooms. The towering post-and-beam frames in the main area create distinct sections, infusing the space with a grounded, earthy feel that invites shoppers to step away from the digital realm and immerse themselves in a memorable in-person shopping adventure.
“When it comes to purchasing hardwood-framed sofas, beds, and chairs, the options are endless. With countless fabric types and a range of cushion firmness styles to consider, the decision-making process can be quite intricate,” Leibowitz noted.
Individuals ought to engage with the material and truly immerse themselves in the experience firsthand. Durable, long-lasting furniture is a wise investment, and decisions are best made carefully and in person.
Each piece is meticulously crafted from reliable domestic and esteemed international brands, allowing for personalized sizing and preferences. Take, for example, the Willow upholstered bed frame, which boasts a wide array of colors and an impressive selection of wood styles.
Sleep Comfort
The Mattress Shoppe is a fresh addition to the lineup. “For numerous individuals, purchasing a mattress can often resemble the experience of buying a pre-owned vehicle.” Leibowitz expressed, “Our goal is to enhance the experience.”
The Shoppe features an exquisite selection of Serta, Beautyrest, and handcrafted Shifman Mattresses, which have a rich heritage dating all the way back to the 1890s. The Mattress Support Report technology offered by Willow’s Mattress Shoppe analyzes sleep contact and pressure points to guarantee an ideal fit and to help contribute toward the best night’s sleep possible.
Experience the ultimate in comfort and convenience with the American Leather Sleeper Sofa, featuring a patented pull-out bed mechanism designed for a restful night’s sleep. Leibowitz noted that their American Leather Sleepers are unlike the sleeper sofas of the past in that they have no uncomfortable springs or rigid bars pushing against the back while trying to sleep.
