ABOUT US

My parents started the Unfinished Furniture Mart in 1978.

They took pride in having always supplying quality wood furniture to their friends and neighbors in the South Bay. In 2015, after 37 years in business, they decided to retire, but the need for the heirloom quality wood furniture they’d been selling didn’t go away and their phone kept on ringing….

So I decided to pick up the mantle, change the name to UFM Designs and re-imagine a way to shop for quality wood furniture that’s more in step with how we shop these days.

As it’s always been at Unfinished Furniture Mart and now is at UFM Designs…

You pick the Color, Size and Style you want!

We’ve put our showroom online! Everything that my parents had on the floor at their old Lomita store and everything that was available from the manufacturers catalogs, are now accessible though our website.

Our “On-Line Showroom” has links to Dining & Living Room furniture, Bedroom & Office furniture, bookcases and much more… on all of our approved vendor’s websites. Jot down the company name and model numbers and we’ll get back to you with pricing.

And if you don’t see what you’re looking for or don’t want to search though the websites, contact us and we’ll send you an email with direct links to the items your interested in. Text, Email, Telephone all work for contacting us.

MEET IN PERSON?:
UFM Designs Showroom@ 1824 Pacific Coast Hwy, Lomita, CA 90717

By Appointment Only: If it’s easier to meet in person, let’s schedule an appointment at our brick & mortar store in Lomita. There, you can touch and feel different pieces of furniture from the manufacturers that your interested in. We also offer in-home consultation free of charge.

One guarantee we can make is you won’t be putting this furniture together, because most of our furniture comes assembled. The majority of our furniture is U.S. built, using wood from controlled growth forests and industry approved building techniques.

In these days of cheap and disposable furniture sold with unrealistic pictures, we encourage you to see our furniture first hand. Compare it to the pictures you’ve seen in our catalogs. Ask us about the construction quality. We have nothing to hide!

An email or a quick phone conversation is the best way to get a custom order started. Durning our initial consultation, we’ll figure out if you need custom or semi-custom furniture.

We’ll try to answer some of your basic questions and then schedule either a in-home consultation or a meeting at our showroom.

Custom takes a little longer because of the attention to details we demand. Because your piece is being made for your home, we’ll come to your house to talk about the design, we’ll discuss style and color options, get some measurements and be on the look out for any potential problems with the installation.

We start with a rough sketch to generate an accurate quote. If you choose to move forward at that point we render 3D computer drawings of your piece. At this point the process gets a little easier because your seeing a very accurate drawing of what we’re about to build for you.

In 2015 I helped out a friend who owned a local Murphy bed showroom. Like everything, there is a range of quality with Murphy beds. Some are made of wood, some particle board, some use high-end Selby Murphy mechanisms, some use springs. The one I sold the most of was made by a wood furniture company I had worked with here at UFM. And it was made solid! Two sheets of plywood on both sides and the Spanish built Selby mechanism. This one sold itself!

So when I decided to offer Murphy Bed’s/Wallbeds here at UFM Designs, it was that high quality I was looking for.
