Everything you need to know about Retail Blackbook and how we help you save big on quality furniture.
Retail Blackbook is a private membership club that gives everyday buyers access to the same wholesale pricing that furniture stores and interior designers use to stock their showrooms. After 30+ years in the furniture industry, we saw how much people were overpaying for quality furniture—often 2-3x what it actually costs. So we created Retail Blackbook to level the playing field.
As a member, you get direct access to over 2,000 manufacturers and 10,000+ products at true insider pricing, typically saving 30-60% off retail prices. Think of us as your personal connection to the wholesale furniture world.
The benefits go way beyond just great pricing. Here's what you get:
Most members save thousands on their first order alone, often recouping their entire membership fee immediately.
Absolutely not—we believe in complete transparency. Your membership fee gives you unlimited access to wholesale pricing. When you place an order, we add a simple 10% processing fee to cover the administrative work of coordinating your order, working with vendors, and ensuring everything runs smoothly. This fee is always disclosed upfront in your quote before you commit to anything.
Even with this small processing fee, our members routinely save 30-60% compared to retail prices—meaning you're still getting incredible value on every purchase.
Delivery costs vary based on the item, vendor, and your location, but we provide those details in your quote as well. No surprises. No hidden charges. Ever.
Pretty much everything you need to furnish your entire home! We have access to:
We specialize in mid-to-high-end brands known for quality craftsmanship and design longevity. Whether you're looking for modern, traditional, rustic, coastal, or anything in between—we've got you covered.
Nope! There's no minimum purchase requirement. Whether you're buying a single accent chair or furnishing your entire home, we're here to help. That said, many of our members love to bundle items together because the savings really add up. But you're never obligated to buy anything beyond your membership.
Our manufacturers are constantly releasing new collections—typically each market season (spring and fall are the big ones). We're always on the lookout for the latest designs and trends, and we update our catalogs regularly.
Plus, if you see something specific you're looking for, we can always reach out to our vendor network to source it for you. We're not limited to what's on a website—we have direct access to thousands of products.
Great question! Since we operate virtually (which is how we keep costs down and pass savings to you), we don't have a physical showroom. However, many of the brands we work with do have showrooms across the country, and some high-end furniture stores carry the same lines. We can help you locate where to see pieces in person if that's important to you.
We also provide detailed product specs, high-resolution images, and videos whenever available. And our team is always here to answer questions about materials, dimensions, and quality before you commit.
We make payment easy and flexible. We accept:
For larger orders, we can sometimes work out custom payment arrangements—just ask!
Shipping/delivery is separate from your membership and product costs, and the price varies based on:
We provide a complete quote including delivery costs before you place any order, so you'll know exactly what to expect. No surprises. Many of our vendors offer competitive delivery rates, and we coordinate everything on your behalf.
Here's the honest truth: most furniture manufacturers operate on a made-to-order or final-sale basis, especially for custom or special-order items. This is standard across the wholesale furniture industry.
That said, if an item arrives damaged or defective, we'll work with the vendor and carrier to arrange for repair, replacement, or refund according to their specific policy. We always communicate the return policy for each vendor before you place an order, so you know exactly what to expect. We recommend asking questions upfront if you're unsure!
Retail Blackbook is open to anyone 18 years or older looking to furnish their home with quality furniture at wholesale prices. Our memberships are designed for:
The only requirement is that you respect our confidentiality policy—our wholesale pricing and vendor access are for members only and should not be shared publicly or with non-members.
It's simple. You can cancel your membership at any time by emailing us at [email protected] or calling 651-358-2315. If you cancel, your membership remains active until the end of your current billing period, and you won't be charged again. There are no cancellation fees or hassles.
If you want to upgrade or modify your membership (say, from monthly to annual), just reach out and we'll take care of it.
Absolutely—and this is one of the things our members love most about us. We offer 24/7 support via email, phone, text, and even Zoom consultations. You're never just dealing with an automated system. You'll get real, personalized help from our team (often from Chris and Danielle directly).
Whether you need help finding the perfect sofa, understanding a quote, tracking a delivery, or resolving an issue—we're here for you every step of the way.
Yes—that's the whole point! Our members typically save 30-60% off retail prices, and sometimes even more depending on the brand and item. For example, a $3,000 retail sofa might cost you $1,200-$1,500 through Retail Blackbook.
Many of our members save thousands on their first order alone. The savings are real because you're paying what furniture stores pay—not what they mark it up to in their showrooms.
We have access to over 2,000 manufacturers, but we're highly selective and focus on mid-to-high-end brands known for quality and craftsmanship. Some of our most popular brands include:
And hundreds more! Many of these brands enforce MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) policies, which means retailers can't publicly advertise their lowest prices. But because we work privately with our members, we're not bound by those restrictions—which is how we unlock pricing you won't find anywhere else.
We'd love to hear from you! Our team is here to help.
