Shackletons retail showroom at Batley, West Yorkshire, is closing down.
In a Facebook post, a store spokesperson declared its "final weeks" are nigh.
On the plus side, customers can get their hands on discounted chairs, sofas, beds and mattresses.
A Shackletons spokesperson said: "Final Weeks - Shackletons retail showroom at Batley is closing down.
"This is your final chance to save up to 40% off in our Closing Down Sale.
"Up to 40% off all showroom furniture: Recliner Chairs & Sofas, High Back Chairs, Adjsutable Beds & Mattresses.
"Hurry down to 359 Bradford Road, Batley, WF17 5PH whilst stock lasts!"
Staff members at the showroom have been told they will be made redundant and have been offered redundancy packages ahead of the closure, Yorkshire Live reports.
The showroom has been a fixture of the Batley community for the past 60 years but has been struggling financially recently.
With an increased cost-of-living, alongside lowered sales, the owners have made the decision to close the showroom.
However, Shackletons itself will remain open and based in Batley, as the contracts side of the business has continued to be profitable.
The home and garden furniture store has received plenty of gleaming Google Reviews over the years.
One person said: "Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
"Showed me lots of options for a reclining armchair.
"They then agreed to visit my sister two days later with a possible choice for her and said if she liked it, she could have it there and then.
"Excellent service and the chair was soooo comfortable and just what she needed. Thank you shackletons, no waiting for weeks for delivery."
Followed by a second: "Excellent choice of chairs, choice of hundreds of different fabrics and designs.
"Staff were very helpful and we enjoyed a very good cup of coffee whilst testing one of the chairs with a foot rest and reclining back, really comfortable. Would recommend."
Meanwhile a third said: "Lovely clean showroom, pleasant staff.
"We went to have cushions recovered on a suite that we bought from there 17 years ago.
"Fortunately they still had the templates, unfortunately material not used anymore, but we found a contrasting one so hopefully within a few weeks the sofa will look as good as new!
"Just shows that you get what you pay for, the furniture seemed a bit expensive in 2001, but has stood the test of time extremely well! Well done Shackletons."

Tourists in Spain warned they face hefty £630 fines in food and drink crackdown
British holidaymakers could even be arrested under new laws British holidaymakers in a popular tourist hotspot are being warned they could face fines of up to 750 euros (around £630) for buying anything, including food and drink, from street vendors. This comes as Palma, the capital of Mallorca, has introduced new laws this month that could see Brits slapped with fines or even arrested for a range of offences this summer. The new rules tackle a host of issues, including graffiti, posters, leaflets, public gambling and betting, fraudulent begging, sexual demands, artistic performances, guided tours, littering, public alcohol consumption, group gatherings, street vending, motorhomes, nudism, balconing, and scooters. One notable change is the regulation of electric scooters. Riders will now need to prove they have civil liability insurance (with a minimum coverage of €120,000) and wear an approved helmet. Another rule that could catch people out is a total ban on buying any item from unauthorised vendors in public spaces. This includes purchasing souvenirs, food and drink, and fashion accessories like sunglasses and watches, with the only exception being authorised markets. These laws have been brought in partly in response to protests on the island against excessive tourism, as well as complaints about the behaviour of visitors, reports Yorkshire Live. A document outlining the measures stated they were designed to 'prevent inappropriate everyday actions' and 'address incivility in general'. Danny Toffel, CEO and founder of online retailer Watches2U, advised: "When travelling abroad it's always worth reading up on local rules. "These measures have been implemented to safeguard Palma's culture and economy and, in some instances, for public safety. Purchasing from unauthorised street vendors might appear a harmless way to snag a bargain but they can undermine local, legitimate businesses. "Illegal street vendors may also peddle counterfeit goods which again may not seem like a significant issue to many, but violate intellectual property rules and divert money away from legitimate businesses. The message is clear - buy from reputable sellers or tourists could find themselves facing severe consequences." Graffiti, categorised as a very serious offence, will incur a fine of up to 3,000 euros. Nudism, whether total or partial, will be punishable by a fine of up to 750 euros. This does not apply to 'designated areas' or, for instance, to women who go topless on beaches. Drinking alcohol in groups ('botellón') is prohibited as is the use of drugs in public spaces. The use of loudspeakers without local council permission, parkour, laser pointers, and public urination or defecation will also lead to arrests. Balconing - the act of moving from one balcony to another - could result in a fine of up to 1,500 euros. The police will aid hotel businesses in the immediate removal of those who commit this offence.
