CALIFORNIA — The California furniture market is facing a massive retrenchment this spring as several of the state’s largest affordable chains and most storied legacy brands prepare to lock their doors for good. Driven by a wave of high-profile bankruptcies and a challenging housing market, these closures represent a significant loss for shoppers seeking budget-friendly home decor and long-standing local service.
National Giants Exit the Golden State
The most significant impact comes from the total liquidation of American Signature Inc., the parent company of Value City Furniture and American Signature Furniture. Following a bankruptcy filing in November 2025, the company failed to secure a buyer, resulting in the permanent closure of all 89 locations nationwide.
Liquidation Status: Going-out-of-business sales officially launched in January 2026 with discounts of up to 50%.
Regional Impact: While primarily concentrated in the East and Midwest, the brand's exit removes a major national competitor from the affordable furniture space.
Additionally, the home decor giant At Home is in the final stages of closing most of its California locations following its 2025 bankruptcy.
At Home Closing Locations:
The following California sites have been undergoing liquidation since late 2025, with final closures expected by the end of spring 2026:
San Jose (750 Newhall Dr.)
Tustin (2505 El Camino Real)
Costa Mesa (2200 Harbor Blvd.)
Pasadena (3795 E. Foothills Blvd.)
Chico (1982 E. 20th St.)
Foothill Ranch (26532 Towne Center Dr.)
Sacramento (8320 Delta Shores Circle South)
Long Beach (2900 N. Bellflower Blvd.)
The End of the Road for California Legacy Brands
While national chains account for significant losses, the closure of several multi-generational California family businesses is hitting local communities even harder.
Nader’s LA Popular (Southern California)
After 69 years of serving the Los Angeles area, the family-owned Nader’s LA Popular is closing its remaining stores in Gardena and Signal Hill/Long Beach. The family cited a desire to retire after nearly seven decades of operation. Known for their "credit for everyone" model and deep community ties, the company is expected to conclude its final liquidation sales this spring.
Rosso Furniture & Décor (South Bay)
In the South Bay area, Rosso Furniture & Décor is closing its expansive showrooms in Morgan Hill and Gilroy after nearly 50 years. The business, founded by the Rosso family in the late 1960s, is currently liquidating over 70,000 square feet of inventory, including high-end heirloom rugs and floor clocks.
Beck’s Furniture & Sleep (Sacramento)
A staple of the Sacramento region for 55 years, Beck’s Furniture & Sleep is shuttering its massive location in Rancho Cordova. The store is currently holding a $10 million liquidation sale with discounts reported as high as 70% off.
Douglas Furniture (Santa Clarita)
After exactly 50 years in business, Douglas Furniture in Newhall is closing its doors. Founders Doug and Pat Green announced their retirement, marking the end of one of the Santa Clarita Valley’s most successful independent retail runs.
Strategic Advice for Shoppers
As these retailers move through their final months of operation, industry experts recommend several precautions for those looking to take advantage of the liquidation prices:
All Sales Final: no returns or exchanges will be accepted once the liquidation phase begins.
Warranty Concerns: Extended warranties purchased through the store may no longer be honored if the third-party provider is also tied to the bankruptcy; check your documentation carefully.
Immediate Pickup: To avoid delivery issues as the company winds down, experts recommend taking items home on the day of purchase whenever possible.
With the departure of these six major and legacy players, the California furniture landscape is becoming increasingly dominated by high-end boutique shops and massive online retailers, leaving a widening gap in the "mid-tier" affordable market.
