Kuhnhausen's Furniture

Family owned and operated since 1919, Kuhnhausen’s is a long-standing Portland establishment offering quality furniture at reasonable prices. We enjoy helping customers find furniture that fits their space, lifestyle and budget in a relaxed, friendly environment.

In 1919, Kuhnhausen brothers Walter and Arnold started their business selling vacuum cleaners door to door. In 1921 they opened a few stores from Everett, WA to Portland, OR. They enjoyed spending quality time with customers and it was a time of innovation that allowed them to provide a larger array of the growing market of home appliances, like radios and washing machines. After leasing different store front locations in downtown Portland and tiring of not having their own warehouse space, they found the current location on East Burnside in 1947. Having added furniture to their inventory in the war years of the early 1940’s, they decided in 1974 that they would discontinue all appliances and focus on furniture. Today, the third and fourth Kuhnhausen generations continue to provide quality furniture and excellent service.
