About & disclosure

IndependentFurniture.org is a free resource for locally owned furniture stores and the shoppers who look for them. We publish a store directory, original research and a monthly letter for owners.

Who runs it. IndependentFurniture.org is published by Houston Automation Labs, a Houston company that builds AI phone agents, websites and marketing systems for local businesses, including furniture retailers. We also help stores set up consumer-financing programs. Listings are never paid, and a store's place in the directory doesn't depend on whether it works with us.

Where the data comes from. Store names, addresses, phone numbers and ratings come from Google Maps. Financing details come from each store's own website. We record the date we checked. We don't publish owners' names or personal email addresses.

Corrections. Owners can claim or correct a listing at any time, and we confirm changes with a call to the store's listed number.
