More about the Shapiro’s
Saugerties Furniture is a family-run showroom guided by the Shapiro family’s second, third, and fourth generations. For more than 50 years, the store has served our village with dependable advice, quality furniture, and friendly service—values that continue to shape our future.
Jonathan Shapiro, with 20+ years in the business, leads the day-to-day and is in the showroom each week to help customers choose pieces that fit their homes and lives. Behind the scenes, our long-tenured team— including a delivery manager who’s been with us for 25 years—keeps the experience smooth from selection to setup.
Whether you’re visiting our historic corner storefront or exploring a styled room on the floor, you’ll find American-made furniture carefully chosen for lasting comfort, beauty, and value. We’re proud of the trust our neighbors place in us and we work hard to earn it with every visit.
“We sell better quality furniture: it lasts longer, meets your needs, and helps you enjoy your home to the fullest. Because we’re all family, we’re focused on making our customers happy.” – Jonathan Shapiro
Every piece of furniture we sell is built with quality materials and made to last.
What to expect when you visit Saugerties Furniture
While we proudly offer Amish furniture and American-made goods, we’re not your typical country store. Our charm doesn’t lie in farmhouse décor or baked goods—it’s built on exceptional customer service and the unmatched quality of our craftsmanship. We have four floors of American-made furniture for you to discover. Whether you’re looking for comfortable upholstered pieces, a dining table made of the best American hardwoods, or optimal comfort from our mattress and bedroom furniture, we’re here to serve you.
We don’t use high-pressure sales tactics. Our family on the floor is friendly, familiar with our products, and qualified with decades of experience. We care about your shopping journey and look forward to hearing your questions, answering them, and asking our own to help you find exactly what you need.
At Saugerties, you’ll discover that good furniture doesn’t have to be expensive, because the quality speaks for itself.
