Let's be upfront: Sweet Home Furniture does not have a store in Worcester. Our closest showroom is in Framingham, at 145 Concord St. Plenty of Worcester families make the drive east because they want to try furniture in person, talk with a bilingual team and leave with a plan for delivery or pickup. This page helps you decide if the trip is worth it and what to bring.

Driving from Worcester to our Framingham furniture store

There are two easy ways east:

  • Mass Pike (I-90) east. Fastest on most days. Get off at the Framingham exits and head into town toward Concord Street (Route 126).
  • Route 9 east. Runs straight from Worcester through Shrewsbury, Westborough and Southborough into Framingham. Handy if you live near Lake Quinsigamond or Shrewsbury Street and want to skip the tolls.

Count on about 35 to 45 minutes, more at rush hour. We are open Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 8 pm, and open 7 days. Check the Framingham store page for Sunday hours and a map before you leave.

Measure first: Worcester triple-deckers and tight stairs

Worcester is known for its triple-deckers, in neighborhoods like Grafton Hill, Vernon Hill, Main South and around Elm Park. Many have narrow back stairs, tight landings and doorways near 30 inches. Most furniture problems in Worcester start at the stairs, not in the room. Before you come in, write down:

  1. The width of the narrowest doorway, including the apartment door.
  2. The width of the stairwell and the ceiling height at the tightest turn.
  3. The length of the wall where the sofa or bed will go.

With those numbers, our team can steer you toward pieces that will actually get upstairs. Some rules of thumb:

  • Modular sectionals come in separate pieces, which is the easiest way to get a big L-shaped couch into a second- or third-floor unit.
  • Sofas with removable legs gain a couple of inches of clearance.
  • Many triple-decker living rooms fit a sofa around 80 to 86 inches with a loveseat or accent chair across from it.
  • Bed frames and beds ship flat and assemble in the room. Mattresses bend a little, box springs do not, so ask about mattresses with bases that suit tight stairs.

Students, roommates and first apartments

With WPI, Clark, Holy Cross and Worcester State in the city, lots of shoppers are furnishing a shared apartment or a first place. A practical starter set: a full or queen mattress, a dresser, a small desk and a sleeper sofa for guests. A queen bed is about 60 by 80 inches, so a 10 by 11 foot bedroom still leaves space for a dresser.

Single-family homes in Tatnuck, Burncoat and Greendale

West side capes and colonials in areas like Tatnuck, and homes near Burncoat and Greendale, usually have more room to work with. That is where a full bedroom set, a dining set with a leaf, or a reclining sofa in the den makes sense. For dining, leave about 36 inches from the table edge to the wall so chairs can pull out.

Why make the drive to Framingham

Frequently asked questions

Is there a Sweet Home Furniture store in Worcester?

No. Our showrooms are in Framingham (145 Concord St) and Saugus. From Worcester, the Framingham showroom is the closest, usually about 35 to 45 minutes east on the Mass Pike or Route 9, depending on traffic.

Do you deliver to Worcester?

Yes. We deliver across Massachusetts, including Worcester. Tell us about stairs, floor level and door widths when you order so the crew comes prepared. Details are on our delivery and shipping page.

Will a sectional fit up the stairs of a Worcester triple-decker?

Often yes, if you choose a modular sectional that arrives in separate pieces. Measure the narrowest door and the tightest turn on the stairs, then bring those numbers to the showroom and we will check them against the pieces.

Can I finance furniture if I live in Worcester?

Yes. We offer flexible financing, including no-credit-needed lease-to-own options. Apply online before you drive in, or ask our team at the showroom.
