Seldens Opens New BassettĀ® Showroom in Bellevue

Furniture World News Desk on 12/10/2024


Seldens, a fourth-generation, family-owned home furnishings and design business, has announced the opening of a new Bassett® Furniture showroom in Bellevue, Washington. This expansion adds to Seldens' established presence in the region, which includes locations in Bellevue, Olympia, and Tacoma, as well as two Summer House outdoor furniture showrooms in Bellevue and Tacoma.

The new Bellevue showroom offers customers access to customizable Bassett furniture, personalized design consultations, and a thoughtfully curated showroom experience. This move comes after the closures of independently owned Bassett showrooms in Redmond and Tukwila, with Seldens stepping in to maintain service for Bassett customers in the area.

“Our goal is to make the process of furnishing a home both personalized and effortless,” said Jake Cross, a fourth-generation leader at Seldens. “By expanding our presence in Bellevue, we’re giving families here the chance to experience Seldens’ renowned service and Bassett’s commitment to quality.”

A Legacy of Home Furnishings and Design

Founded in 1940 by Syd Selden as a floor-covering store in Tacoma, Seldens has grown into a trusted name for quality furnishings and design consultation in the Pacific Northwest. Today, the company is led by third-generation owners Scott Selden and Loni Selden Cross, along with fourth-generation leaders Jake Cross and Nick Selden.

Seldens first partnered with Bassett Furniture in 2000, opening a Tacoma showroom that has since become a destination for American-made, customizable furniture. “Bassett furniture clients want comfortable, functional pieces that reflect their personal taste,” said Scott Selden. “At Seldens, we understand that they also want sustainable craftsmanship, timeless designs, and customer service they can depend on. We’re thrilled to bring that level of care to Bellevue.”

Expanded Offerings for Bellevue Customers

The Bellevue showroom will feature a full range of Bassett’s American-made furniture, with options for customization and support through Seldens’ design services. Current Bassett customers from the Redmond and Tukwila locations will continue to receive service, while new clients in Bellevue will enjoy a fresh, modern showroom experience.

Commitment to Community

Beyond the showroom, Seldens remains committed to supporting the Puget Sound community. The company actively participates in initiatives like Because of Lola, which funds childhood cancer research, and partners with local organizations such as the Northwest Furniture Bank. Additionally, Seldens organizes an annual Coat Drive for Kids in partnership with the Tacoma Police Department, reflecting its dedication to community welfare.

Grand Opening Celebration

The new Bassett showroom, located at 11919 N.E. 8th St. in Bellevue, is set to open in mid-December 2024. A grand opening celebration is planned for Jan. 11, 2025, featuring a showcase of Bassett’s craftsmanship and Seldens’ design expertise.
