Cooper’s Furniture

Cooper’s Furniture has sold furniture from East Chatham Street in Cary since 1929, which puts it 96 years in. The idea has stayed the same: quality furniture at a price people can afford, with nobody pushing you around the showroom.

Custom upholstery is the specialty, and making furniture that is uniquely yours is how the store describes it. A salesperson walks you through fabric, arm style, cushion options, and finishes until the piece matches what you pictured. The store serves Cary, Raleigh, Apex, and the rest of Wake County.

What to know

• An extensive fabric wall in the store is where custom upholstery choices start.
• White-glove delivery is part of the service.
• A room planner tool lets customers design, save, and print a layout.
• Customers write about buying repeatedly and staying satisfied years later.
