Art Van is a Michigan furniture chain that has many showrooms, the largest of which are located in Lansing and Grand Rapids, MI. I have mixed feelings about Art Van, because as their prices are more affordable than visiting say, a Lay-z-Boy or Ethan Allen furniture store, their service is rather annoying.
The moment you enter a store, your sales person bombards you. There are normally half a dozen sales people waiting by the front door for their next unsuspecting victim. If you want to simply browse the store, you will be watched and visited by your commission-hunting sales person several times to “check up on you.”
That’s annoying, but the prices are reasonable. Just be sure to purchase the warranty, as sometimes their furniture seems to spontaneously fall apart after a few weeks of wear and tear.
