About AFW, Built on Hard Work, Since 1975

At American Furniture Warehouse (AFW), we believe great style shouldn’t come with a high price tag. That’s why we’ve spent nearly 50 years helping customers create beautiful homes—without breaking the bank. From cozy sofas and functional office desks to trendy bedroom sets, mattresses, and outdoor furniture, we offer the largest selection of quality furniture and home decor at the lowest prices anywhere.

Our story began before AFW even had a name. In 1968, founder Jake Jabs took his first big step into the furniture world by opening Mediterranean Galleries, a high-end furniture store with locations in Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and Billings, Montana. Jake closed the Galleries, but it wasn’t long before he found the opportunity that would shape his future.

In 1975, Jake purchased the 90-year-old American Furniture Company in Denver. With just one store at 58th and Bannock, he introduced new marketing ideas and a fresh business philosophy—including the new name, American Furniture Warehouse. That bold move set the foundation for what AFW is today.

Since then, we’ve grown to 18 locations across Colorado, Arizona, and Texas. Still family-owned and operated, AFW has become one of the top retail furniture companies in the U.S., known for unbeatable prices, massive in-stock selection, and fast delivery—you can buy today and take it home today.

Jake still leads the company, traveling the world to find great furniture at better prices. And we never forget what matters most: our customers and our communities. AFW supports local schools, veteran organizations, and charitable causes that make a difference where we live and work.

Visit any of our showrooms or shop online at AFW.com to see why our customers keep coming back. You’ll find style, selection, and savings—all under one roof.
