Marquis Furniture operates as a mid-sized independent furniture retailer focused on upholstered seating, dining sets, and bedroom case goods, positioned between big-box chains and high-end design showrooms on Oklahoma City's retail spectrum.
Marquis carries sectionals, sofas, accent chairs, dining tables with coordinating chairs, and bedroom suites in contemporary and transitional styles. The showroom stocks floor samples and maintains relationships with manufacturers for custom upholstery orders, meaning customers can choose from in-stock pieces for immediate delivery or commission builds with longer lead times. The store occupies roughly 8,000 square feet and displays 40 to 50 major pieces at any given time, enough to compare side-by-side but not so sprawling that browsing becomes overwhelming.
Marquis skews toward practical, non-trendy upholstery in neutral tones and mid-tone fabrics that conceal wear. Sectionals typically fall in the $1,200 to $2,800 range depending on size and fabric; sofas alone run $900 to $2,200. Dining sets with six chairs start around $1,400 and top out near $3,500 for solid wood tables with upholstered seating. Bedroom suites (bed frame, dresser, nightstand) range from $1,800 to $4,000. The store does not stock designer or luxury-brand pieces; this is family-room furniture, not statement furniture.
Custom upholstery adds 4 to 8 weeks to delivery and typically costs 15 to 25 percent more than floor samples. Fabric upgrades (performance fabrics, heavier weaves) run $200 to $600 per piece. Delivery within Oklahoma City is included on purchases over $1,500; smaller orders incur a $75 to $150 delivery fee.
Oklahoma City's furniture landscape divides clearly by price and intent. At the volume end, Ashley Furniture HomeStore locations (multiple across the metro) offer lower entry prices (sofas from $600) but with thinner upholstery and particle-board case construction; they compete on speed to floor and financing options. At the design end, independent showrooms like Sofa Mart or Ethan Allen emphasize customization and designer fabrics, with sofas starting $2,500 and climbing to $5,000 or more. Marquis sits between: more durable than Ashley, more affordable than full-custom houses, and faster to delivery than most bespoke options.
For someone moving within three months or furnishing a rental, Ashley's lower cost and immediate availability make sense. For someone building a permanent home and willing to wait for the exact color and fabric, a design showroom justifies its markup. Marquis suits the homeowner who wants a sofa that will last ten years, does not care if the exact shade is available in three weeks instead of three days, and has a $1,500 to $2,500 budget for a sectional.
Marquis works well for families furnishing first homes, renters upgrading from hand-me-downs, and anyone replacing worn seating with something durable but conventional. The staff asks functional questions (household size, pets, sunlight exposure) and steers toward fabrics accordingly; they do not push premium upgrades on every customer.
It does not suit decorator-driven projects where fabric and frame style are non-negotiable. It does not suit budget shoppers hunting the lowest possible price point. It does not suit anyone needing immediate delivery on a custom order; even in-stock delivery takes 5 to 7 business days.
Walk-ins are welcome; no appointment is required. A salesperson will meet you in the showroom and ask what you are replacing and why (old sofa sagging, redecorating, moving). You can sit on floor samples to test depth, firmness, and seat height. If you find something you like but want a different fabric, the salesperson will show fabric swatches (usually 50 to 100 options) and take measurements for a quote. A written estimate includes price, delivery date, and return policy (typically 14 days from delivery if the piece is unused). Most customers spend 45 minutes to an hour in the store; complex custom orders may require a second visit to finalize fabric and placement details.
Marquis operates Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. The showroom sits on a side lot with dedicated parking for 12 to 15 vehicles; spaces rarely fill during business hours. Delivery is handled by contracted third-party haulers; customers receive a phone call 24 hours before arrival with a two-hour window. Financing through a third-party lender is available for purchases over $500 (terms vary; confirm current rates and approval timing when you visit).
Marquis Furniture fills a genuine middle ground in Oklahoma City's furniture market, offering durability and choice without the wait times or price premium of true custom work.
