Harel

What Harel does

Harel (legally Harel Taasiyot Rahitim B.M., operating as Aronot Harel) is an Israeli family-owned custom furniture manufacturer and retailer specializing in wardrobes, beds, and bedroom furniture. Founded in the early 1970s and now in its third generation of family ownership under CEO Guy Reindel, the company designs and produces sliding wardrobes (ארונות הזזה), hinged wardrobes (ארונות פתיחה), walk-in closet rooms (חדרי ארונות), and upholstered beds in-house at its factory in Rishon LeZion. Its proprietary "סגירה לקיר" (wall-to-wall closure) system allows wardrobes to close within niches, extend to ceilings, or cover back walls — a custom-fitting capability developed over five decades of in-house production. Harel also distributes the Nest mattress line under license from American brand Restonic, offering models such as Dream Big, Comfort Care Plus, and Hybrid Support featuring pocket springs, viscoelastic foam, and removable washable covers.

The company sells through a nationwide network of 9 retail showrooms (Tel Aviv headquarters, Jerusalem, Petah Tikva, Rishon LeZion including a factory outlet, Ashdod, Be'er Sheva, Netanya), an e-commerce website (aron.co.il), and direct channels including phone, WhatsApp, and on-site measurement services with 3D visualization. Customers are primarily Israeli residential homeowners and families seeking custom-fitted storage solutions for irregular apartment dimensions, supplemented by smaller segments in offices/businesses and architects/interior designers. Pricing follows a unit-based model with wardrobes ranging approximately ₪2,240–₪4,790+ and mattresses ₪2,840–₪3,440+, with separately charged delivery and assembly services (₪400–₪750) and up to six interest-free installments available.

Harel maintains ongoing brand visibility through an annual partnership with the Big Brother Israel (HaAch HaGadol) reality TV show from 2021 through 2026, supplying custom wardrobes and Nest mattresses for the show's bedroom. The company is privately held with no external funding, no disclosed revenue figures, and 11–50 employees. It is geographically concentrated entirely within Israel with no international expansion signals.
