disneybedWalter E. Smithe has partnered up once again. This time it’s not with an obvious choice but rather an unlikely one. Recently it’s joined forces with Walt Disney to include its furniture line by Drexel Heritage in its Chicago contemporary furniture showrooms.

Smithe has been one of the best furniture Chicago dealers since its opening in 1945, under the name Tone Appliances and Furniture.

Originating in North Carolina, Drexel now has numerous plants totaling 2.3 million square feet. Priding themselves on superior craftsmanship, Drexel promises to provide the “broadest assortment of wood and upholstered furniture in the industry” on a wide pricing spectrum.

And of course Walt Disney we all know.  For nearly 80 years, this company has brought smiles to the faces of millions of children with its worldwide theme parks, incredible line of films, retail stores, and nearly every other product imaginable.  They’ve become a well-trusted and admired brand that truly brings families together.

Now, these three unique companies built form the ground up, have gotten together to deliver Chicago furniture shoppers a great new modern line.
