Products
I need additional measurements for your pieces. Where can I find those?
Your local Bassett Design Consultant or Customer Care Specialist will be able to give you additional measurements that may not be listed on our site.
Are all of your pieces made in America?
Bassett is one of the few American manufacturers who have maintained a domestic production presence with factories in Virginia and North Carolina. Our BenchMade wood lines are made right here in Bassett, VA and all of our upholstery is made in our Newton, N.C. factory, from both domestic and imported components.
In an effort to meet the needs of all of our customers, we are proud to be able to offer a wide range of products, both domestically produced and imported. Regardless of manufacturing location, Bassett is involved in designing and specifying detailed product requirements for all pieces. We maintain employees in international plants to oversee production and ensure Bassett quality and all of our products meet U.S. safety standards, as well as compliance standards for California (typically the strictest standards in the U.S.).
See more about the quality and care put into all of our pieces here. For more information on specific items, please contact your local store or Customer Care Specialist.
Will I be able to find all of the products shown on your website in one of your Bassett stores?
Our stores vary in size and not all stores will have every piece on display. Our Bassett Home Furnishings stores feature our top selling items, and usually have representative pieces of each wood furniture collection so that you can see and touch the finish first-hand. Select items are only displayed online, and will be noted as such on our website. Clearance items shown on our website may not be displayed in our stores. Please feel free to contact the store you intend to visit to ask if the item of interest is displayed there. If not, the store may be able to direct you to another Bassett store or retail partner where the item may be viewed.
Are the online prices the same as the prices in the store?
Our Bassett Home Furnishings stores, Bassett Design Center galleries and retail partners will honor pricing posted on the website, with the exception of our periodic Flash Sale pricing, which is available online only. Sometimes promotions or reduced pricing on clearance items or floor models may be available in stores and not available online.
Can I purchase all of your products online?
The majority of our products can be purchased online. Items that are shown but not available for sale online will be identified as such on the item description page. Additionally, some items you see on the website may have more options available than are offered for online purchase. Please contact your local store or Customer Care Specialist for details.
Where is the model number located?
The model number for wood products may be affixed to the back of the product or underneath tables and chairs. The model number for sofa upholstery products are located underneath the seat cushion. The model number for a recliner is located under the footrest. Please use these model numbers to identify your products whenever you are communicating with either Bassett or our retailers.

How do I clean my furniture?
Please reach out to your local store or our customer care department for more information on how to best clean your furniture. Please use our Dealer Locator to find your nearest store or contact customer care at 833-498-6383.
How do I care for my Cast + Forge Hardware?
Cast + Forge hardware is currently sold in select retail locations. Each piece is meticulously cast in solid brass with hand-applied finishes to ensure its beauty for years.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Solid Brass (with applied finishes): Clean with a slightly damp soft cloth and mild soap. Once cleaned, wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Please use non-abrasive, lint-free, or microfiber cloth that will not scratch the surface. Please note the burnished brass finish is a "living" finish and is intended to have some patina over time.
Lucite: Clean with a slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water.
Leather: Clean leather with a soft brush or cloth. It is best to use a damp cloth or cleaning products specifically designed for leather instead of household cleaners.
Do you have instructions on assembling furniture?
Assembly instructions are always included with the furniture. It is very important that these instructions be followed completely to ensure safety as well as the care of the item. Please contact Consumer Affairs or your dealer for further assistance if you should need it.
Can I purchase extra protection for my furniture?
Yes! Bassett Home Furnishings stores are proud to offer the industry’s leading furniture protection program. The Guardian Signature Plus Protection Plan offers to clean and repair all stains and damage covered by the plan for 5 years from your date of purchase, giving you confidence and peace of mind. Authorized Bassett retailers may offer the Guardian plan or a similar protection plan.
What’s the difference between wood and solid hardwood?
“Wood” refers to a variety of lumber and wood products used in furniture making, including fancy veneers. Veneers are often used on large flat surfaces such as dining tabletops, and door fronts, and are prized for the unique way they reflect light. “Solid hardwood” refers to Bassett’s 100% American Benchmade collection. The American maple and oak timber is cut and milled in the Appalachian region and shipped to our Bassett, Va., factory where it is shaped and finished.
Do I need a foundation for my bed or headboard?
We know that shopping for the perfect bed can be overwhelming with so many factors to consider. We’re here to help with that process!
We know that shopping for the perfect bed can be overwhelming with so many factors to consider. We’re here to help with that process! When choosing a bed or headboard you should consider the distance between the base of the headboard to the floor compared to the total of your frame, foundation, and mattress height. You want to avoid having a gap between the bottom of the headboard panel and the top of the mattress. Many beds are designed for use with traditional box springs, 5” to 9” high. When choosing a lower foundation or using an adjustable base without a box spring, it will be important to calculate the overall height.
