It all started in a garage...
2020
Liam started the business, selling used sectional sofas during the Covid-19 pandemic as a way to make ends meet. His video production business completely dried up as all in-person video shoots were cancelled or indefinitely postponed. But, he had a two-car garage at the time and Facebook Marketplace was growing in popularity.
2021
Carlton graduated early from high school at 15 years old, and followed Liam's example of buying and selling couches, running his own small separate couch business, while also working a job as a bookkeeper.
2022-2023
Liam was splitting his time evenly between video production and the couch business. His first child was born, so he pivoted from selling refurbished used couches (very labor and time intensive) to selling truckloads of liquidated couches from well-known brands in order spend more time at home.
Carlton was focused solely on selling used couches, and was growing quickly beyond what he could handle on his own.
2024
Liam & Carlton decide to officially join forces and go full time working on the joint couch business. The name Kindred Couches was chosen to represent the family nature of their partnership, as well as their desire to treat all of their customers as they would treat their own kin.
2025
Liam & Carlton hire their middle brother, Nathaniel, full time at the beginning of the year (updated photos of everyone together coming soon!), expand the warehouse space by 30%, and continue to source the best brands and quality couches that they can.
As a business, we have four main goals in mind...
-
Quality Couches
At the core, we aim to only sell couches that we’d proudly put in our own homes. We source high-quality, name-brand pieces from places like Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, West Elm, and more.
-
Affordable Prices
Everything is getting more and more expensive these days, and we know that furniture is no exception. Our prices average 50–80% less than the big-box store retail equivalent, so you get nearly full value at a fraction of the cost. -
5-Star Customer Service
We pride ourselves on our 5-star reviews and live by the saying, "the mother of all frustration is unmet expectation." That’s why we overcommunicate and go the extra mile to ensure you're never left guessing.
-
No More Landfills
Big furniture companies often discard perfectly good couches. We rescue and repurpose quality couches instead of letting them end up in landfills.
