The Hayden Furniture Depot, a family-owned business in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, has grown over the past decade from a small furniture refurbishment shop to a 20,000-square-foot showroom. Known as Kootenai County’s “one-stop design shop,” the Depot offers a wide range of furniture, décor, artwork, lighting, and rugs for every style and taste. Founded by Steve and Debbie Thompson, the business thrives on their commitment to quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. Now led by the second generation of the Thompson family, the Depot continues to inspire with its beautifully designed showroom and no-pressure sales environment.

Beyond furniture, The Hayden Furniture Depot is deeply involved in community support, partnering with local organizations like Open Arms and St. Vincent de Paul to help families in need. In 2024, their first annual hot rod show raised $16,000 for charity, showcasing their dedication to giving back. With plans to expand their design services and maintain their focus on innovation and customer care, The Hayden Furniture Depot remains a beloved destination for quality, style, and community connection.
