Furniture is one of the most important investments you can make in terms of interior design. Choosing the right pieces can turn a house into a home and set you up for many years of happiness with family and friends. You deserve to feel proud of your home and enjoy the way it looks and feels.
At Rowes Furniture, we are wholeheartedly dedicated to helping families across the Darling Downs region create their dream homes. With Toowoomba’s best selection of top furniture brands at great prices, we are your one-stop shop to furnish every room in the house. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and look back at our journey, from humble beginnings in the late 19th century to established success as the leading local furniture supplier.
Early Beginnings: Furniture for Growing Families
Rowes Furniture was founded in 1892, and we’ve been serving Toowoomba and the Downs ever since. Our family-owned business was built on the principles of quality furniture and outstanding service, which we remain true to today. Now in our fourth generation of family ownership, we continue to provide the friendly service and comprehensive support that made us one of the most popular furniture stores in Toowoomba.
Toowoomba's Original Home of Quality Furniture
Good old-fashioned service and great value for money can always be found at Rowes Furniture. Whether your family has been shopping with us for decades or you’re new to our store, you will see that we genuinely care about giving our customers great deals on superior-quality furniture. As the trusted choice for furniture stores in Toowoomba, our knowledgeable staff and professional service make for a memorable experience, where you will find the best furniture pieces to complete your home without breaking the bank.
Community Commitment
One of the most challenging times in our history was the unexpected storm surge of 10 January 2011. The thunderstorm that raced through Toowoomba’s CBD took four lives and damaged or destroyed many businesses, including our own. Rowes suffered more than $1 million worth of damage, and it seemed unlikely that our family business would ever reopen its doors.
However, Toowoomba’s incredible community spirit didn’t let us down. Every day for a week, volunteers came by to help clean up and buy soiled furniture at heavy discounts. “We’re so grateful to all the volunteers who have helped,” Mr Rowe said at the time. “More than 90 people walked in and said, ‘What can we do?' It was incredible.”
Less than three weeks later, we reopened the doors, thanks to the incredible thoughtfulness and dedication of our local community. Every day since, we have stood firm on our commitment to provide the best possible products and prices while delivering the highest standards of service out of all furniture stores in Toowoomba.
