The event kicked off with a welcome from Joe Soto, local disc jockey for V103 FM, who introduced Darvin President Will Harris. Harris addressed the crowd, highlighting Darvin's 104-year commitment to providing quality furniture at the best prices. “We are incredibly excited to welcome Universal to the Darvin showroom,” Harris said to the crowd of more than 50 attendees. “The beauty and quality of Universal furniture align perfectly with Darvin’s commitment to offer our Chicagoland customers the highest quality furniture.”

The addition of the Universal Furniture Gallery brings a well-known national brand to Darvin’s extensive offerings. Universal Furniture is recognized for its modern functionality, practical luxury, and upscale design, along with its extensive upholstery options that appeal to customers nationwide.
