Bassett Furniture

Bassett Furniture takes $150 off a furniture or rug purchase of $1,500 or more for first responders, plus 10% off accessories bought online. You verify through ID.me, and the discount lands in your cart once you’re verified. Because the $150 is a flat amount, it covers a smaller share of the bill the bigger your order gets, so it does the most for a cart that sits close to the minimum.

Bassett’s own About page says its story goes back to 1902 and that it has about 100 dedicated retail locations in the United States and Puerto Rico. Bassett also says much of its product is customized by the buyer, so you pick the frame, the fabric and the finish. That matters for the return rules further down, and it’s worth reading them before you build a cart.

How To Get The Bassett Furniture First Responder Discount

Bassett’s discount page sends you to ID.me to verify. Its FAQ says ID.me verifies your eligibility, and the discount is automatically applied to your cart once you’re verified, so you don’t have a code to copy and paste.

For first responders, the page gives examples of what ID.me may accept: state certification as a firefighter, EMT/paramedic or police officer. That’s a list of examples and not a full roster, so if you work in another first responder role, the page says the full requirements and options are detailed in the verification process. The offer is open to the military community and to medical providers too.

What The Discount Covers

The page spells out two parts. The first is an extra $150 off a furniture or rug purchase of $1,500 or more, and it excludes Everyday Value items and clearance items. The second is 10% off the original price of accessories purchased online, and that excludes mattresses.

Two limits come with it. Discounts don’t apply to previous purchases, and they can’t be combined with other offers. The page calls the $150 “extra,” but it also says it can’t be combined with other offers, so if you’re shopping during a Bassett sale, ask the store which one applies before you check out.

Bassett also says the discounts are available in select Bassett Furniture locations, and it tells you to contact your local store for more information. If you’d rather work with a salesperson than a website, call ahead to find out whether your nearest store takes part.

Custom Orders And Returns

Since the discount comes off the cart, it’s the cart you’ll want to feel sure about. Bassett doesn’t accept cancellations or changes on any custom-ordered product after 24 hours of the order being placed, and it can’t accept returns on any custom-ordered or Made to Order product. Online returns are accepted for pillows, lamps, bed linens, finish samples and Cast + Forge Hardware.

If you’re torn between two fabrics or finishes, settle it before you place the order, since changes stop after 24 hours.
