HISTORY OF FINICKY USED FURNITURE AND APPLIANCES

In 2001, John & Mindy Villella sold all their furniture and moved from Tampa Bay, Florida to Lake Havasu, Arizona. They figured they'd just buy new furniture once they got there. Then they went shopping. After multiple visits to the “new” furniture stores in the Lake Havasu area Mindy came to realize that this wasn't going to be so easy on a budget. When she saw that the “side” chairs alone to the dining room set she liked were $199.99 each she burst into tears. (She was also very tired from the search for “bargains”).

That's when John made two key decisions. One was to never go shopping with Mindy again. The second was to open a used furniture store, something he figured the area badly needed. That's when their first store, “Cactus Flower” was born in Lake Havasu and it turned out to be a great success. Obviously, Mindy wasn't the only one with discriminating taste who simply couldn't afford the “new” furniture she liked.

About one year later they came to Prescott to visit some friends and fell head over heals in love with the area. They sold “Cactus Flower” in Lake Havasu and moved here. Their friends, who were familiar with Cactus Flower, talked them into opening a store here. They went with the same business premise which had proved to be a successful before. It was simply, “FURNITURE YOU CAN BE PROUD OF – AT PRICES YOU CAN AFFORD” That has been FINICKY USED FURNITURE'S slogan ever since opening in Prescott Valley back in 2003. We have been serving the tri-city area (and many customers from Phoenix) for 11 years!

“Finicky” has also done some growing since then! We started back on Long Mesa Dr. in a small 3,000 sq. ft. shop. Four years later we had completely outgrown that location and moved to a 2 story location right off Hwy 69 in Prescott Valley. The new location was more than double the size at 6,500 sq. ft. but it had a serious downside. Very little parking available for their customers plus it was 2 stories (and still quickly becoming too small)! SO, in 2012 they made their biggest move yet to the 10,000+ square foot red and yellow building next door to Ace Hardware in Prescott Valley. And that's where they're still located to this day. That's over 10,000 square feet of wall to wall deals on good looking used furniture, appliances, and home decor. With all the support of our loyal shoppers and the community, we are growing too big for even this location!! So here we stand, 11 years later, still with the original owners plus a fantastic, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Headed up by the same great manager of 3 years, Joanna, and assistant manager/buyer of 5 years, Karl!

In a recent interview, John and Mindy were asked what their favorite part of the business was. It was the most often heard comment from new customers entering the store for the first time. “Is this used?” Oh, and now Mindy has a house and office full of great looking used furniture and appliances she can afford, and not a SINGLE tear has been shed since!

the springs are sterilized and reused, stuffed w/all brand new fire retardant material, covered with brand new material and encased in plastic. You can put that we've dealt with the same manufacturer for years.
