Our Story

Merchants opened its doors for the first time over 80 years ago. What began as a small family-run store has evolved into a nationally recognized furniture dealership with a reputation as long as its history.

Marvin Sanders opens Merchants Salvage Company in the historic Larimer Square district of Denver. The first item he sells: a cash register. It was also the first item returned.

Our Approach

Over the last 80 years, we’ve learned that creative thinking, proactive problem-solving, and great partnerships are inseparable. That’s why we approach each project with a shared sense of ownership and a commitment to do whatever it takes to create whatever you want.

Why Merchants?

We’re partners, not vendors.

New furniture. Used furniture. From one employee to multi-floor buildouts. At Merchants, it’s not the project that defines who we are, it’s the process and relationship behind each. If you’re looking for a partner, not a vendor, our promise to you is simple: We’ll bring grit, curiosity, passion, and some great people committed to bringing your vision to life.

At Merchants we create solutions no one else can. We commit to the big vision and small details that no one else wants to. Scrappy, resourceful, and always—we punch above our weight. We love what we do.
