Made for Real Life!




Congrats to Alicia and Tim! Not only are they getting married this fall in beautiful Quechee, VT but they just bought a house in Falmouth, MA. The both work for NOAA doing fisheries research and statistics and Alicia has been a long time customer and friend. A new house means lots of space for leather sofas from American Leather and beautiful TV stands from Cherry Pond and BDI. Upstairs an, appropriate, Vermont Tubbs bed. Congrats! And we hope that your wedding registry on circlefurniture.com yields that Saloom Table you have been eying. Cheers to you, we are proud to have been a part of it.

It's Still June

Support Local Business = Supporting your Local Economy




There is a lot of talk around supporting local businesses and without the facts, we understand why, however this new project is a great way of backing up this idea with the FACTS. Why should you support locally owned and operated businesses? Because it effects you and your living space more that you think! It goes far beyond the local craftsman and sustainable forest products we sell at Circle Furniture; but the money comes back around to help your local economy through keeping locals employed, paying taxes to local and state governments which perform for you!

"68: For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home."


Check out The 3/50 Project and help out your neighbors and community the next time you make a purchase.

Lost and then Found at Circle Furniture

I am not entirely sure why, but it seems as if everyone in the Cambridge Store is a total dog lover.



A little while ago, on a busy Saturday afternoon, we discovered an unleashed beagle in our parking lot. our store is right on Fresh Pond Parkway, a busy street, and we were all concerned. We went out and convinced the dog to come inside. We brought her into our break room and then proceeded to call animal control. She had dog tags so we were hoping they would be able to contact her owners.

Apparently right after we called, the dog’s owner called the dog officer and reported her dog missing. She was told her dog was here and she called us right away. She had been walking around Fresh Pond with her dog when, the dog apparently took off after another dog.

After about a half hour the owner showed up at the store and a very happy beagle jumped into her arms. We were all so happy and relieved that “Molly” was going home.

We get a lot of walkers that come into our store and often they have their dogs with them. I can’t recall one time when a dog misbehaved and they always cheer up the staff. At Circle Furniture in Cambridge, we encourage all drop ins, whether they have two or four legs.
