City Furniture

City Furniture Overview

A Top 100 Furniture Retailer in Furniture Today magazine’s annual national ranking, City Furniture has been an innovator since our founding as Waterbed City in 1971 by Kevin Koenig. Waterbed City started by selling waterbeds that Kevin sold by day and made by hand at night. Waterbed City evolved into City Furniture in 1994 offering a full line of home furnishings. It’s been almost 25 years since the transition and with an incredible team of Associates, we have created a sought after brand. Today, we continue to be recognized as one of the top furniture companies in South Florida, and in the top 30 nationwide. We have grown into Orlando recently, and planning to move into Tampa over the next several years. Our focus on world-class customer service, innovation, being a green-conscious company, promoting-from-within, and challenging, developing, and appreciating our Associates are just a few of the many reasons that City Furniture is an employer of choice!
