When you’re shopping for furniture, you’re not just buying something to sit on. You’re creating the backdrop for family dinners, lazy Sunday naps, movie nights, and conversations that turn into lifelong memories. That’s why so many of our customers ask us about Smith Brothers of Berne—a name that has come to mean furniture built with heart, designed to last.
In this review, we’ll share why Smith Brothers has become one of the most respected names in American-made furniture, what customers love most about their pieces, and how you can experience them for yourself right here at Moore’s Furniture.
A Story Rooted in Small-Town Values
Smith Brothers began in 1926 in the small farming town of Berne, Indiana, where traditions run deep and neighbors look out for one another. Instead of rushing trends or cutting corners, the company has always focused on doing what’s right—for their customers, their employees, and their community.
This legacy continues today. More than 500 skilled craftspeople still build every piece by hand in Berne, carefully blending old-world techniques with modern comfort.
Did You Know? Berne is often called the “Furniture Capital of Indiana,” thanks to its long history of woodworking and upholstery.
What Makes Smith Brothers Special?
Built to Last
Each frame is crafted from kiln-dried maple hardwood, reinforced at stress points to stand up to everyday life. Whether it’s kids, pets, or constant use, customers tell us their Smith Brothers sofas still feel sturdy years down the road.
Comfort That Endures
Smith Brothers uses a coil spring system in every seat, giving the kind of support you’d expect from a high-quality mattress. No sagging, no sinking—just dependable comfort you can count on day after day.
Designed Around You
With more than 1,000 fabrics and 100 leathers to choose from, plus options for trim, nailheads, and finishes, every piece can be designed to reflect your personal style.
Design Tip: A neutral sofa in a performance fabric is the perfect base—then refresh the look over the years with seasonal pillows and throws.
A Promise You Can Trust
Smith Brothers offers limited lifetime warranties on frames, springs, and foam cores. When they say built to last, they truly mean it.
