Dimensions for all of our items can be found on each product page under “Dimensions.”

American Freight merchandise is acquired directly through closeouts, overstock sell-offs, and other discounted dispersals, and is sold while supplies last. Quantities may be limited and are available at a first come, first served basis, but the prices are always low.

We are able to keep our prices low by operating differently than other furniture and appliance stores. First, we obtain our merchandise directly from manufacturers through closeouts, overruns, and cancelled orders at reduced prices. Additionally, we display these products in warehouses instead of fancy showrooms in order to reduce our overhead costs. By combining these savings with what we save from our direct manufacturers, we’re able to pass these huge savings on to you as a thank you for being our customer.

Factory Select furniture is an overstock of furniture that is crafted in randomly selected fabrics and colors. Quantities, fabrics, and colors vary by location, please see your local store for details. When inventory is gone, it is gone. Specific items, colors, and fabrics cannot be special ordered for Factory Select furniture.

At this time, we do not have an option for purchasing a gift card. If you know someone who would like furniture as a gift, encourage him/her to create a Wish List on our site and share it with you!

American Freight Furniture and Mattress stores are always looking for energetic employees! Please see our career page for details.

Appliance FAQ's

American Freight sells two types of merchandise: New and Out of Box.

New products have never been used and have never been out of the box. We work directly with appliance manufacturers and other major retailers to liquidate their overstock or out-of-season products at discounted prices!

We carry three types of Out of Box merchandise:

  • Floor Model: A new, unused item that has been removed from its original packaging and placed on our sales floor. Extremely limited signs of wear on the item or its packaging. Instructions are included.
  • Refurbished: Item that was returned and has been tested and repaired if necessary to meet “new” mechanical specifications. Product may have minimal cosmetic damage.
  • Cosmetic Damage: Item has sustained some amount of cosmetic damage, like a scratch, dent, or other wear-and-tear, but works like new.

All of our Out of Box items are one-of-a-kind, discontinued, or scratched and dented merchandise. A manufacturer’s product warranty, if any, would still apply.

Out of Box merchandise is always American Freight Certified which means it has undergone rigorous testing, repairs, part replacement, and cleaning. To find out more about American Freight Certified merchandise, please visit the American Freight Certification Process page.

Pricing is determined in part by item condition and availability; like how long we’ve had it in the store, for instance. All of our Out of Box items have been inspected, repaired if necessary, and meet brand new specifications. On a product’s page, you can read about the condition and view pictures of the product before you purchase.

American Freight sells both new appliances as well as one-of-a-kind, out of carton, discontinued, refurbished, scratched and dented, and used merchandise. All items that are non-new undergo a stringent testing process and, when necessary, have cosmetic parts replaced and/or are repaired. Only once an item has undergone our thorough certification process is it approved to be a American Freight Certified item.

All Certified Products:

  • Are rigorously tested for full, like-new functionality
  • Have missing parts replaced
  • Are repaired, if necessary, and retested
  • Are refurbished with replacement parts for mechanical defects found during testing
  • Are fully cleaned and sanitized
  • Follow the American Freight return policy*

The certification process follows the same basic mechanical guidelines as recommended by the Original Manufacturer.

Customers Purchasing a Certified Appliance or other item from American Freight should expect:

  • A fully functional and operational unit
  • The assurance that the unit still meets American Freight quality standards as the nation’s leading retailer of appliances and appliance related products

New in box and out of carton appliance purchases include either a 1 year manufacturer warranty or a third party 1 year coverage. Additionally, all appliances are eligible for the industry leading Master Protection Agreement.

The Master Protection Agreement provides an additional 3 or 5 years of coverage and provides for preventative maintenance for the length of the plan.

If available, a manufacturer’s product warranty will still apply to most Out of Box items. Many items also have the option to purchase an additional Protection Agreement.
