What Gabberts does

Gabberts Design Studio and Fine Furniture is a private specialty furniture retailer and interior design services provider serving the Minneapolis-St. Paul Twin Cities metropolitan area through two physical showroom locations in Bloomington, MN and Little Canada, MN. Founded in 1946 (with one source referencing 1960) and operating for over 60 years in the local market, the company sells living room, bedroom, dining, entertainment, office, accent, decor, flooring, outdoor, and area rug products alongside a broad mattress selection featuring brands such as Tempur-Pedic, Purple, Casper, Aireloom, Beautyrest Black, PranaSleep, Avocado, and Kingsdown, with Stickley featured as a premium dedicated furniture line. Custom orders with hundreds of fabric and configuration choices are a core part of the merchandising model.

The company differentiates through a fully integrated full-service design studio offering complimentary consultations, project portfolios, design blog content, scheduling a measure service, and an embedded IcovIA-powered room planning tool that supports residential and commercial customers across new construction, remodels, kitchen and bath design, space planning, lighting design, and color consultation. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with financing options offered to support larger purchases; sales occur primarily in-showroom with a complementary e-commerce website that supports browsing, wishlist, and account management.

Gabberts operates as a subsidiary within the HOM Furniture Inc. corporate family, alongside sibling brands HOMFurniture.com, DOCK86.com, and Hennens.com. Revenue is generated almost entirely from one-time furniture and home furnishings sales, with marketing conducted through a multi-channel approach spanning YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, Houzz, Twitter, email newsletter, and a content/buying-guide blog. The company received a regional Houzz Award in 2020 for professional interior design and furniture services.
