We hold 272 verified store records for Louisiana. 13 of the 54 cities and towns with at least one record clear the five-store bar that earns a dedicated city guide; Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Lake Charles carry the largest counts. The list below ranks every store that clears our evidence floor, statewide.
Branded chains account for 69 of the 272 verified stores here, led by Aaron's (16), Rent-A-Center (14), Ashley (13) and La-Z-Boy (6). The remaining 203 are independent dealers with no chain affiliation on record.
The categories most verified stores carry are living room furniture, bedroom furniture, mattresses, dining room furniture and sofas and couches. On services, the most commonly recorded are delivery (82), financing (77), assembly (51) and white-glove delivery (20).
Of the 39 stores with a recorded price tier, the split is $ (14), $$ (20), $$$ (4) and $$$$ (1). 78 of 272 records carry a founding year; the oldest dates to 1885, 141 years of trading on record. 61 of 272 records carry a phone number, 77 a working website, and 36 posted hours.
Leading the statewide ranking: Howell Furniture in Lake Charles (11 recorded categories, 3 recorded services and trading since 1959), American Factory Direct in Baton Rouge (5 recorded categories, 5 recorded services and trading since 1974) and Havertys Furniture in Shreveport (5 recorded categories, 3 recorded services, a $$ price tier and trading since 1885). Each entry below carries the same recorded signals — assortment breadth, brands carried, services offered, showroom presence, years trading, contactability and price transparency — scored by one formula with no manual override.
165 of the 272 records in Louisiana fall below the evidence floor described on our methodology page and are not ranked — most often because we hold a name and address but little else yet. They stay in our records and can move into the ranked list as we verify more about them.
