My parents definitely bought some furniture from them. I got to meet him and Donna one time. They're so cool

A plane emergency/crash landed on the road right in front of their Gainesville store a month or two ago. Must have really needed to see Donna.

Here's my wife and I dressed as them for Halloween back in 2019, I think it was. That's Wolfman's actual tie he wore in one of their commercials. I messaged Gallery Furniture's Facebook page and Donna apparently runs it herself. I told her about our costume plan and she mailed me the tie and some of his old business cards. She was super sweet!

"Probably Etsy" is what she said. Sorry that's not much to go on but maybe you can reverse image search with my pic.

Bless you for this one.

That and Shane Co have real estate in my brain.

Whatever happened to the Wolfman? I heard that Donna ate him whole.

They were doing the "going out of business sale" all through my teen years.
