Thomas is doing the real work, but we had the pleasure of contributing a small amount to his success.
The project Thomas has undertaken is to help a local organization already in the business of helping others.
"Saddle Up is a therapeutic horseback riding program designed for physically and mentally challenged individuals. It is operated by trained and dedicated volunteer instructors and lay people."
The history of La-Z-Boy. A Great American Story and the Worlds Greatest Recliner!
In 1928, cousins Edward M. Knabusch and Edwin J. Shoemaker partnered and invested in the furniture business in the small town of Monroe, Michigan.Together, the duo set out to design a chair for "nature’s way of relaxing." Using orange crates to mock-up and refine their idea, they invented a wood-slat porch chair with a reclining mechanism. Knabusch and Shoemaker then upholstered their innovation and marketed it as a year-round chair. The chair was a success, but it needed a name. Combining promotion with necessity, the partners held a contest. Entries included such names as Sit-N-Snooze, Slack-Back and Comfort Carrier, but one in particular — La-Z-Boy — was the winner.
In 1969, after years primarily as a manufacturer of recliners, La-Z-Boy started designing other products including reclining sofas, sleep sofas and modular groups. In 1983, La-Z-Boy introduced its first line of stationary sofas and occasional chairs. Today, La-Z-Boy offers a full line of home furnishings.
Aven's and La-Z-Boy have been a team since 1986. Wow...25 years. That's a lot of La-Z-Boy. I would estimate about 26,000 units of La-Z-Boy products have moved in and out of our warehouse.
Aven's has hundreds of Genuine La-Z-Boy Recliners and dozens of Reclining Sofa and Love Seats in stock and ready for delivery or immediate pickup from our attached warehouse.

My wife and kids always ask me what I want for my birthday.
I really do not need anything. At this point in my life I do not need any item, in fact I need to start getting rid of things I once thought I needed just so I can find things I actually use.
It's always a stretch for me to come up with ideas.
My mother comes up with ideas like the cycling jersey in the photo above all the time. She is gifted.
She had the guys over at Block Alternatives make one. I didn't know you could make just one of anything like this.
I need a whole cycling team racing allover town advertising Aven's!
First stop Lancaster BLVD...next stop the Tour! I think I need to reduce my hours at the store so I can train...
Thanks God for my mother's unfailing imagination...and never ever listening to me when I say "oh Mom...I don't need anything".

Over the past few years the most popular category of furniture by far has been furniture for the family room.
Its easy to put off new bedroom, new dining room, new occasional tables, etc...but family room furniture just wears out.
Most of our customers have chosen to buy better quality before they come to the store. Everyone buys the "$399 reclining leather sofa" once, but after a few months they realize that just like everything else you buy...you get what you pay for.
I'm happy to say that the entire staff at Aven's is intimately familiar with the what makes the products we carry a value, and a good choice for your family.
So its out with the old and in with the new. But what to buy?? Fabric or leather, stationary or motion?
Her are some thought that may help you make that decision.
Stationary Upholstery is non reclining furniture. It doesn't move. Stationary sofas are more comfortable to sit in, and lay on. You can lounge across the length of the sofa and not feel the framework of the individual reclining pieces in your back. We often see people use a chaise lounge on the end for the ultimate lounging position.
Thomasville Metro Chaise Sectional. In-stock at Thomasville. Allow 3 Weeks for delivery.Stationary Sofas with a matching or correlating Club Chair and Ottoman and the coolest way to decorate a family room. Nothing slouches like a good fitting club chair. The ottoman just gives your feet somewhere to go.
Sectionals are also a good choice...lot of room for lounging. Sectionals can take the same space as a sofa and loveseat, but will give you more seating. Most sectionals are so modular you can find pieces to fit any room.
La-Z-Boy Laurel Sectional. Custom order in you choice of hundreds of Durability Tested La-Z-Boy covers in about 8 weeks.
Another idea for comfortable slouching on a stationary sofa is a cool upholstered cocktail ottoman in front of the sofa. It doubles as a cocktail table, and an ottoman for you to put your feet up on.
Motion Upholstery reclines. Its a great choice for watching movies, reclining for a nap, or just to put your feet up. Some sectional come with sleeper components to pull out when aunt Edna comes to visit.
Companies we carry like La-Z-Boy and Flexsteel offer lengthy warranties on their mechanisms. You need a good factory warranty on motion upholstery. You use it everyday. The mechanism in that Reclining Sectional,Chair, Sofa, or Loveseat is going to need service sometime during its life. You need a retailer like Aven's and manufacturers like La-Z-Boy and Flexsteel to provide service.
