History

Harveys Furniture was founded in the United Kingdom in 1966,[1] with its first store opening in Mare Street, East London. It began as a private company, selling textiles and home furnishings.

In 2003, Harveys made the decision to move to a furniture only business, removing all textiles from their product portfolio. In October 2005, the company was acquired by Steinhoff International, who now wholly own the company. Between 2004 to 2010, Harveys Furniture specialised in living room, dining room and bedroom furniture.

However, in May 2010, the bedroom furniture range was removed from the catalogue, and was taken over by Bensons for Beds, another brand by Steinhoff. In September 2018, Harveys had their first celebrity partnership, with Louise Redknapp, launching her own collection of sofas.[2]

Stores

Harveys are the largest furniture specialist in the United Kingdom; currently having more than 150 stores across the country.[3]

In the early hours of November 23, 2013, a fire engulfed the Carlisle branch following an arson attack.[4] It reopened in March 2016.[5]
