Thomas B. Stanley, a simple dairy-farmer with great vision began transporting the finest lumber from Northeast United States via railcar to a small town in southwest Virginia in 1924. Employing the finest furniture craftsmen, he created durable, affordable, high quality furniture for American families. This is where the dream of Stanley Furniture Company was born. He infused the company with his spirit of dedication to excellence and accomplished many more goals, eventually serving as Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the 1950s.

Young America is a division of the Stanley Furniture company that creates furniture for young people – to suit the tastes and needs of teenagers, tweens and toddlers. The term youth furniture originally implied furniture that would only last till the child outgrew it. But since Young America, youth furniture now means beautiful pieces that actually transition with your child through childhood, into youth and further.

The Serenity collection is an impeccably crafted series that truly takes your child from the crib to college and further. Its contemporary approach to traditional Louis Phillipe styling gives it a simplicity that sets it apart from other furniture. Its distinctive cinnamon finish works beautifully to blend in with any theme yet look unique.

The Serenity collection from Young America meets or exceeds the current mandatory government and industry safety standards. Well equipped with tip restraints, adjustable levelers and automatic drawer stops to ensure the furniture is truly safe, it is also free from lead-based paints and furniture finishes, keeping your child’s safety as a priority.

Furniture crafting begins with the search for the finest materials – softwood, hardwood or a combination of both. Making the wood humidity, heat and wear-resistant is top priority and is a process that can take a few months. Once that’s done, the lumber is cut into pieces and matched for color. Carefully selected pieces create the furniture that reaches you.
