Pull up an older "stores like Havertys" list and count how many of those brands still exist. Art Van liquidated in 2020, Klaussner shut its factories three years later, and American Signature closed every location in Chapter 11. Six of the 24 brands on the old version of this very list are gone, absorbed, or were never quite what they seemed.
The baseline first. Havertys has been selling furniture since 1885, when James Haverty opened his first Atlanta showroom, and it now runs more than 120 stores across 16 states. The formula is classic-to-transitional styling, mid-range prices, custom-order upholstery, and free in-store design help. If that mix works for you but you want more options (or you live outside Havertys country), this list is sorted from closest match to luxury upgrade.
What Makes a Brand "Like Havertys"?
A Havertys-style furniture brand sells classic and transitional designs at mid-range prices with real service attached, meaning design help and delivery people who bring the sofa inside rather than leaving it at the curb. Brands earn a spot on this list by matching that formula in at least two ways: the timeless-not-trendy look, or the accessible price bracket, or the service-heavy buying experience, or the custom-order options. We note where each one differs, because some sell only through dealers and a few cost multiples of a Havertys budget.
Ashley
Ashley is the most available alternative on this list, and the biggest. The company became the world's largest furniture manufacturer in 2005 and passed 1,000 retail stores in 2019, according to its own corporate history. Founded in 1945 and headquartered in Arcadia, Wisconsin, it covers every room at prices that generally undercut Havertys. The trade-off is curation. Ashley's catalog is enormous and quality varies by line, so you'll want to check construction details piece by piece. For dependable everyday furniture without a major investment, it remains the obvious starting point, and our Ashley vs. Havertys comparison breaks down the head-to-head.
Best for: Budget-friendly versions of classic looks, available almost everywhere
Raymour & Flanigan
Raymour & Flanigan is what Havertys shoppers in the Northeast already use. The founding family has run it since 1947, when it started as a single Syracuse storefront, and according to the company's May 2026 announcement, it opened its 151st showroom that month, its first in Maryland and its eighth state. The lane is the same: classic and transitional furniture with a strong service reputation, plus mattresses and decor to finish the room. Where it pulls ahead is inventory. Raymour & Flanigan keeps a deep in-stock selection and can deliver quickly across its footprint, which matters when a custom order elsewhere quotes you twelve weeks.
Best for: Havertys-style shopping if you live in the Northeast or mid-Atlantic
Rooms To Go
Rooms To Go simplifies the whole exercise by selling coordinated room packages. Brothers Jeffrey and Morty Seaman founded it in 1990 around one slogan: "Buy the piece, save a little. Buy the room, save a lot." According to its company history, it now operates 150+ showrooms across ten southeastern states and Texas from its Seffner, Florida headquarters, and its recycling program has diverted more than 500,000 tons of waste from landfills since 1992. Prices sit well below Havertys. The Ellsworth Sofa ($388) anchors the low end, and even the Antonella Leather Dual Power Reclining Sofa tops out at ($1,695). Celebrity collections from Cindy Crawford and Drew & Jonathan keep the styling current without drifting trendy.

La-Z-Boy
La-Z-Boy built an entire company on one 1927 invention. Cousins Edward Knabusch and Edwin Shoemaker designed a reclining wood-slat chair in a Monroe, Michigan garage, trademarked the name in 1930, and created the recliner category outright. Today the lineup runs from recliners and sofas to full sectionals with customizable fabrics and leathers, all engineered around comfort first. Style-wise it stays squarely in Havertys territory, classic and family-friendly rather than fashion-forward. If your priority is a living room everyone fights to nap in, this is the specialist.
Best for: Recliners and deep-comfort seating with custom fabric choices
Bassett Furniture
Bassett has been making furniture since 1902 and now runs about 100 retail locations across the US and Puerto Rico. Its pitch is participation. The Build Your Own Sectional program lets you configure pieces to your room, custom upholstered beds follow the same logic, and free design consultations tie it together. The company leans hard on its "Born in the USA" heritage. Think of it as Havertys with more levers to pull: the same classic sensibility, with more say in how your piece turns out.
Best for: Custom sectionals and upholstery without luxury-brand pricing
Ethan Allen
Ethan Allen is the step up. The company dates to 1932, still makes about 75% of its products in its own North American workshops, and pairs every purchase with a complimentary interior design service that includes 3D room planning. Prices reflect it. The Bennett Roll-Arm Three-Seat Sofa ($2,480 on sale, from $3,100) is the entry point, the Clarke Sofa starts at ($3,800), and leather takes the Clarke to ($5,900). What you're buying is custom finishes and fabrics plus a designer who handles the details. Our guide to brands like Ethan Allen covers this tier in depth.

Arhaus
Arhaus takes the classic sensibility somewhere more textured. Founded in 1986 outside Cleveland, it works with artisans in Italy, Mexico, and beyond, and builds pieces from reclaimed and sustainably sourced materials. The company reported 103 showrooms across 30 states at the end of 2024, so there's a decent chance one is near you for the sit test. Expect heavier silhouettes and richer finishes, at prices above Havertys but below the true luxury houses. The look reads collected rather than showroom-safe.
Best for: Artisan character and heft a step above mainstream retail
Pottery Barn
Pottery Barn handles the casual end of classic American style. The brand dates to 1949 and has been part of Williams-Sonoma, Inc. for decades, which brings serious supply-chain muscle, performance fabrics, and free design services. Where Havertys leans formal-traditional, Pottery Barn relaxes into slipcovers, linen textures, and lived-in comfort. Quality sits in the same mid-to-upper bracket, a question we dig into in our honest look at Pottery Barn. It's the pick when you want classic bones with a weekend attitude rather than a Sunday-best one.
Best for: Relaxed, family-proof takes on classic American design
Crate & Barrel
Crate & Barrel brings cleaner lines to the same quality bracket. Gordon and Carole Segal opened the first store in Chicago in 1962, and the brand has spent six decades refining a simple, well-proportioned take on home furnishings. It reads more contemporary than Havertys without tipping into trend-chasing, and its sofa and dining programs offer broad fabric and finish choices. Prices are comparable. If your taste splits the difference between traditional and modern, this is the bridge brand.
Best for: Streamlined classics for rooms that skew slightly modern
Birch Lane
Birch Lane is Wayfair's classic-and-traditional specialty brand, launched in 2014 to serve exactly the shopper this article is for. The styling runs to rolled arms, farmhouse tables, and other timeless silhouettes, and the model is online-first with value pricing. You give up showroom visits and in-person design help. In exchange you get an enormous assortment, frequent sales, and the convenience of furnishing a room from your couch. It's the closest thing to browsing a Havertys floor from home.
Best for: Classic looks at online prices when you don't need a showroom
Ballard Designs
Ballard Designs started as Helen Ballard's catalog in 1983 and still carries that Atlanta-born, European-inspired point of view. The range covers furniture and lighting through rugs and wall decor, all with a distinctly classic sensibility, plus custom upholstery in hundreds of fabrics. It sells online and through a smaller set of retail stores, and the catalog remains a genuine design resource rather than a mailer. For Havertys shoppers who want their traditional rooms a touch more collected and a touch less matched, Ballard is the move.
Best for: European-inflected classic decor and custom upholstery
City Home
City Home is Florida's homegrown answer to Havertys. Kevin Koenig opened a 900-square-foot waterbed store in Fort Lauderdale in 1971 with $1,500 in savings, grew it into CITY Furniture by 1994, and rebranded the whole operation as City Home in 2026. The company runs more than 25 Florida showrooms and has expanded into appliances, custom closets, kitchen design, and connected-home technology alongside furniture. Styles range from coastal to contemporary with plenty of transitional middle ground. Floridians get the full service experience, including design consultations and statewide delivery.
Best for: Full-service furniture and home shopping if you live in Florida
Living Spaces
Living Spaces covers the West the way Rooms To Go covers the Southeast. Founded in 2003 and based in La Mirada, California, it has grown to roughly 40 stores across eight states, with the heaviest concentration in California and Texas. Big showrooms keep inventory on hand, and the assortment spans traditional through modern so a whole household can shop in one trip. In-stock availability is the draw. If Havertys' service appeals but its footprint doesn't reach you, this is the western equivalent.
Best for: In-stock variety and quick turnaround west of Texas
Mor Furniture for Less
Mor Furniture for Less has been family-owned since 1977 and serves the West Coast from its San Diego base. The positioning is right there in the name: functional, current-looking furniture at prices meant to undercut the big mid-range players. Its showrooms stretch across seven western states, from Washington down through California and inland to New Mexico. Style skews a little more contemporary and casual than Havertys' classic core, which makes it a good fit for first homes and rooms that need furnishing on a real budget.
Best for: Budget-first shopping across the western states

DutchCrafters
DutchCrafters sells handcrafted Amish furniture online, sourced from woodshops across Amish country in the Midwest and Pennsylvania. Jim and Linse Miller founded it in Sarasota in 2003, and it has since earned a BBB A+ rating and multiple Inc. 5000 appearances. Nearly everything is customizable, from wood species and stain to dimensions, on solid-wood pieces built to be passed down. Dining tables run from ($755) on sale to ($2,870) for elaborate pedestal designs. Lead times stretch longer than retail because your table doesn't exist until an Amish craftsman builds it.

Stickley
Stickley is American furniture history you can still buy new. Leopold and John George Stickley founded L. & J.G. Stickley in 1900, the Audi family rescued the company in 1974, and its Mission and Arts and Crafts pieces are still built in New York State. Construction is the whole story: premium solid wood and exposed joinery, with finishes designed to outlive the buyer. Prices land well above Havertys, and the aesthetic is specific. For the right room, nothing else reads the same, and our guide to brands like Stickley maps that territory further.
Best for: Heirloom Mission furniture with generational construction
Kincaid Furniture
Kincaid has built solid-wood furniture since 1946 and now operates as a La-Z-Boy company. Genuine solid wood covers all exterior panels and shaped edges, joined with time-tested techniques and hand-rubbed finishes, a construction standard most mid-range casegoods abandoned years ago. The Build Your Own upholstery program adds custom seating to the wood story. You'll buy through its dealer network rather than a Kincaid store, so check the site's dealer locator before falling for a specific dining set.
Best for: Solid-wood bedroom and dining pieces through local dealers
Vaughan-Bassett
Vaughan-Bassett makes one category and makes it in one place. The company, founded in 1919, describes itself as the largest manufacturer of wooden adult bedroom furniture in the United States, with 100% of production handled by 500+ craftsmen in Galax, Virginia. Beds and dressers come in pine, oak, maple, and cherry at prices meant for regular households rather than trade clients. If the "Made in USA" label matters to you and your project is a bedroom, this is the most direct answer on the list.
Best for: American-made bedroom furniture at attainable prices
Flexsteel
Flexsteel traces its history to 1893 and still builds seating around the feature that named the company: a riveted Blue Steel Spring foundation the company backs with a lifetime guarantee. The Dubuque, Iowa company specializes in sofas, recliners, and motion furniture built for decades of daily use, in styles that stay comfortably transitional. It sells through dealers nationwide. Shoppers who buy a Havertys sofa for the durability reputation should have Flexsteel on the same shortlist, because the spring system is the kind of unglamorous engineering that determines how a sofa feels in year eight.
Best for: Seating engineered to survive decades of daily use
Universal Furniture
Universal Furniture designs out of High Point, North Carolina, and has collected 14 Pinnacle awards for design excellence along the way. Founded in 1968, it produces bedroom, dining, and living collections including the Coastal Living Home line and Miranda Kerr Home, and it sells both direct online and through retailers and designers. Function is a quiet specialty, with storage-smart pieces and special-order upholstery. It pushes the design envelope a bit further than Havertys while staying in a comparable quality-and-price band.
Best for: Designer-collaboration collections with practical touches
Hooker Furnishings
Hooker began in 1924 when 29-year-old J. Clyde Hooker, Sr. convinced the town of Martinsville, Virginia to fund a furniture factory with about $28,000 of community capital. A century later the company sells casegoods and upholstery through both its own e-commerce site and a dealer network, with custom upholstery options and even a Margaritaville lifestyle line. Styling runs traditional through transitional with more presence and detail than mainstream retail. It's a strong source for statement pieces, entertainment walls, and home office setups in particular.
Best for: Detailed casegoods and home office furniture with heritage behind it
Riverside Furniture
Riverside Furniture traces its roots to 1946 in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The catalog concentrates on bedroom, dining, home office, and occasional pieces in warm, substantial styles running from cottage to modern farmhouse. You can order online or buy through its dealer network, and collections are designed to furnish a room cohesively rather than piece by piece. For the Havertys shopper who gravitates to the rustic, homey side of classic design, Riverside covers that lane at sensible prices.
Best for: Warm, rustic-leaning bedroom and office collections
Hickory Chair
Hickory Chair has operated for over 110 years out of Hickory, North Carolina, and it represents the bridge into true luxury. The Made For You program customizes pieces down to your own hardware, monogramming, and nail trim, and designer collections from Ray Booth, Suzanne Kasler, David Phoenix, and Susan Hable keep the classicism current. There's no checkout button. You buy through dealers and design professionals, and prices reflect benchmade construction. This is what the Havertys sensibility grows into when budget stops being the constraint.
Best for: Benchmade custom furniture through your designer or dealer
Baker
Baker is the luxury endpoint of this list. Founded in 1890 as a humble cabinet shop, it now operates as Baker | McGuire with collections from designers including Barbara Barry, Bill Sofield, Jacques Garcia, and Thomas Pheasant, plus the Milling Road line reinterpreting centuries of European design. Craftsmanship and materials sit at the top of the American furniture market, and buying happens through showrooms and the trade rather than a cart. Most shoppers will visit for inspiration and leave with a measuring tape and a plan. The one room that truly deserves it will thank you.
Best for: Investment-grade traditional pieces with designer pedigree

Bottom line: For the closest one-to-one Havertys swap, start with Raymour & Flanigan in the Northeast or Bassett anywhere its custom programs reach. If budget is the driver, Rooms To Go sofas start at ($388). If longevity is, Stickley and DutchCrafters build the pieces your grandchildren will argue over.
How to Choose Between Brands Like Havertys
Start with how you like to buy. Half this list sells direct with stores or carts, and the other half routes through dealer networks. Stickley, Kincaid, Vaughan-Bassett, Flexsteel, and Hickory Chair all ask you to find a local retailer, which adds a step but usually adds a knowledgeable human too. If you want the sofa this month, the in-stock retailers (Rooms To Go, Raymour & Flanigan, Living Spaces) are your lane, and our ranking of the best online furniture stores covers the delivery question across the wider market.
Then be honest about the timeline and the decade. A ($388) sofa and a ($3,800) sofa are different purchases with different jobs. Buy the budget piece for a first apartment or a room that gets destroyed by kids and dogs. Buy custom or benchmade when you've settled into the house it has to serve for fifteen years. The middle tier, meaning Bassett through Arhaus, is where most Havertys shoppers land because it balances construction against sticker shock.
And use the design help. Havertys built its reputation partly on free design service, and several brands here match it. Ethan Allen includes a designer with 3D room planning, Bassett offers consultations, and Pottery Barn advertises free design services of its own. It costs nothing, and it prevents the expensive mistake of a sofa that's four inches too deep for the room.
Frequently Asked Questions
What furniture brands are similar to Havertys?
Raymour & Flanigan, Bassett Furniture, and Ashley are the closest matches, all selling classic-to-transitional furniture in the mid-range with store networks and delivery service. Ethan Allen and Arhaus sit one tier up with more customization. Rooms To Go and Living Spaces undercut Havertys on price with in-stock inventory. The right pick depends mostly on your region and whether you want custom options or fast delivery.
Is Havertys considered high-end furniture?
Havertys is mid-range, not high-end. It sits above mass-market retailers like Ashley and Rooms To Go on price and construction, but below custom and benchmade makers like Ethan Allen, Stickley, and Hickory Chair. The company has sold furniture since 1885 and runs more than 120 showrooms, competing on classic styling and service rather than luxury materials or designer collaborations.
What happened to Art Van, Klaussner, and American Signature?
All three are gone. Art Van Furniture liquidated in Chapter 7 in 2020 after stay-at-home orders halted its going-out-of-business sales. Klaussner Home Furnishings shut its North Carolina operations in August 2023 when its lender pulled funding, laying off roughly 900 people. American Signature and sister brand Value City Furniture closed all locations in Chapter 11 proceedings. Older "brands like Havertys" lists still recommend all three, which is why we re-verify every brand before publishing.
Which brands like Havertys make furniture in the USA?
Vaughan-Bassett builds 100% of its bedroom furniture in Galax, Virginia, with more than 500 craftsmen. Stickley manufactures its Mission pieces in New York State, and DutchCrafters sells furniture handcrafted in Amish woodshops in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana. Ethan Allen makes about 75% of its products in North American workshops, and Bassett leans on its "Born in the USA" heritage for custom upholstery. Dealer-sold brands like Kincaid and Flexsteel also maintain US production.
