Questions American Freight shoppers ask us
Is American Freight still open in Cincinnati?
American Freight's parent company announced in late 2024 that it was closing its stores. If you shopped there for cheap furniture with no-credit financing, that is exactly what our discount furniture page and $11-down financing cover.
Do you sell used or scratch-and-dent furniture?
No. Everything at Elite Furniture is brand new with a manufacturer's warranty. We compete on price through direct buying and financing, not on condition.
