To the Trade — Quality Home Furniture · Mesquite, TX

Designers,
we're building
a partnership.

A commission-based program for independent design professionals serving North Texas clients. You design. We deliver. You earn.

How It Works

Three steps to your first commission.

You bring the client and the design vision. We provide the showroom, the catalog, the delivery — and we pay you for the partnership.

01

Apply & get approved.

Submit your membership application with professional credentials and two trade references. Brian reviews and approves within three business days. You receive your To the Trade member number.

02

Bring your client to our showroom.

Let Brian know you're coming in. You lead the conversation — we're here to support you, not take over. Access our full showroom, vendor catalog library, fabric samples, and special-order pricing.

03

Earn commission on every delivery.

After confirmed delivery, your commission is calculated on the furniture selling price. 50% paid on the 15th of the month following delivery. The remaining 50% the month after, net of any adjustments.

Why Designers Choose Quality Home Trade

Built around the way designers actually work.

Fifty years in North Texas means we know the market, the vendors, and what your clients expect. Here's what that means for your sourcing, your timelines, and your client relationships on every project.

Protection

Every piece ships with coverage already included.

Every Quality Home purchase includes a manufacturer-backed protection plan in the selling price — not as an add-on, not as an upsell. Your client gets stain, accident, and structural coverage on delivery day. It's a talking point that closes deals, and one less thing for you to explain.

Custom & Special Order

Build exactly what the design calls for.

Our relationships with England by La-Z-Boy, Mayo Furniture, and Flexsteel give you access to custom upholstery and special-order fabrics across hundreds of configurations. If you've specified it, we can usually build it — and we'll give you a firm lead time before the order is placed.

Fast Delivery

North Texas delivery within the week.

In-stock merchandise typically delivers within 7 days of purchase. Trade orders are prioritized. Our own trucks, our own crews — no third-party carriers, no windows that stretch to three weeks. When you commit a date to your client, we back it up.

50 Years Here

Family-founded. North Texas since 1975.

Quality Home has served the same community — and some of the same families — for over five decades. When you bring a client to our showroom, you're bringing them to one of the most trusted furniture names in the region. That reputation belongs to both of us.

Dedicated Rep

One contact from first question to final delivery.

Brian Jessup handles trade exclusively — catalog access, sample checkouts, vendor pricing, order placement, and delivery follow-up. One call, one person. You don't get re-routed to a general sales line on the third call.

Sourcing Speed

Samples shipped. Lead times confirmed same day.

Need swatches for a client presentation on Friday? Email Brian today. Need a firm lead time before you spec a custom piece? He'll have the vendor answer before end of business. Sourcing shouldn't slow your projects down.

Commission Structure

What you earn.

Commission is calculated on the furniture selling price. Every Quality Home purchase includes a protection plan in the price — protection is a benefit your client receives automatically, but it is not a commissionable line item. Delivery, taxes, and assembly are also excluded.

Product Category Includes Commission
Living Room FurnitureSofas, sectionals, chairs, ottomans, accent tables10%
Bedroom FurnitureBedroom sets, beds, dressers, nightstands, mirrors10%
Dining Room FurnitureDining sets, tables, chairs, servers, bars10%

Decorative AccessoriesLamps, wall art, accent décor, throw pillows10%

Clearance & Floor SamplesAs-is and marked-down showroom merchandise10%

Protection plans are included in every purchase price — your client gets coverage automatically. Protection is not a commissionable line item.
Also not commissioned: Delivery & assembly charges · taxes · installation · warehouse sale events.
Return of merchandise results in full recovery of any commission paid. If a Quality Home associate becomes involved in presenting to your client, commission is split 5% / 5%.
Independent designers are responsible for their own tax reporting and receive a Form 1099 for commissions earned.

First Payment
50% of earned commission
Paid by direct deposit on the 15th of the month following confirmed delivery.
Second Payment
Remaining 50%
Paid the following month, net of any returns or adjustments.
Program Features

What membership gives you.

Dedicated Coordinator

One contact from application to delivery.

Brian Jessup handles everything — catalog access, sample checkouts, vendor pricing, order placement, and delivery follow-up. One call, one person.

Full Catalog Access

Custom builds. Special orders. Beyond the floor.

Access our complete vendor catalog library, fabric samples, and special-order options through England by La-Z-Boy, Mayo Furniture, and Flexsteel. If you've specified it in a design, we can likely build it and deliver it.

Priority Delivery

Priority windows. White-glove standard.

Trade orders receive priority scheduling through our vetted delivery partner. Often same week — professional crews who know our product and your clients' homes.

Protection Included

Coverage built into every price.

Every Quality Home purchase includes a manufacturer-backed protection plan — no add-on, no upsell. Your client has stain, accident, and structural coverage from day one. It's a talking point that builds confidence before the sale is even closed.

Quarterly Events

Designer preview evenings.

Exclusive after-hours showroom events with maker representatives. First look at new collections, vendor Q&A, and private shopping time before the floor opens to the public.

Client Financing

0% financing for your clients.

Your clients access the same Synchrony financing available to all Quality Home customers. Taste isn't capped by what's in the checking account — and you still earn full commission.

Our Partnership

How we work together.

Commission reflects your role in the client relationship. You lead the design conversation — we handle the showroom, the order, and the delivery. Here's what that looks like from both sides.

What we ask of you

  • Let Brian know you're coming in — with or without a client. He'll have samples, catalogs, and vendor resources ready when you arrive.
  • Accompany your client throughout the visit. The commission reflects your involvement in the process.
  • Control the design and selling conversation. If a Quality Home associate takes over, the commission splits 5% / 5%.
  • Select product from the showroom floor or from vendor catalogs — we have access to far more than what's on the floor.
  • Do not solicit new clients on Quality Home premises or through contacts made here. Bring clients you are already working with.
  • Accurately represent our products, pricing, lead times, warranties, and policies to your clients.
  • Disclose to clients that you receive commission on purchases made through Quality Home.
  • Maintain your own tax reporting obligations. Quality Home issues a 1099 for commissions paid.

What we commit to you

  • We will not actively solicit your clients. Your relationships are yours — we protect them.
  • Brian is available to assist you with product research, vendor access, samples, and order follow-up before and after every client visit.
  • We will conduct business fairly and ethically with you and every client you bring.
  • We will pay commissions on schedule, as outlined in these guidelines.
  • You receive priority delivery scheduling for every client order placed through the program.
  • We will keep you informed of new arrivals, vendor changes, and quarterly designer events.
  • Your client relationships remain yours. We are your showroom and fulfillment partner — not your competition.
Deposit Requirements
50% deposit at order placement.

All stock and special order merchandise requires a 50% deposit at the time of order. The remaining balance is due before delivery is scheduled. Special order cancellations forfeit the deposit. Custom merchandise deposits are non-refundable under any circumstance.

Returns & Reselections
Contact us within 48 hours of delivery.

Clients must contact the store within 48 hours of delivery to request a reselection or store credit, subject to management approval. Items must be in as-new condition with all original packaging. Non-compliant returns incur a 20% restocking fee. Special orders are final after 48 hours — 50% restocking fee if refused. Value Center, floor samples, and clearance are final sale.

Delivery
Typically within 7 days of purchase.

Quality Home delivers within North Texas using our own trucks, typically within 7 days of purchase. Trade orders receive priority scheduling. Delivery charges are non-refundable. A $199.99 fee applies for pickup and redelivery arrangements.

Pricing Policy
Everyday pricing. No further discounts.

All merchandise sells at Quality Home's current everyday price. No additional discounts are available through the program. Every purchase includes a protection plan built into the price. Commission is calculated on the furniture selling price — delivery fees, taxes, and protection are excluded.

Common Questions

Good things to know before you apply.

Can my client visit the showroom without me?
Their first visit should include you as the designer of record. If they need to return for measurements or a second look, just let Brian know in advance — the visit gets noted to your account and your commission is protected.
What does the protection plan actually cover?
Every Quality Home purchase includes a manufacturer-backed plan covering accidental stains, structural failures, and mechanism defects. Coverage starts on delivery day — no claim forms at purchase, no extra cost to your client. It's built into the price. That's a genuine talking point, not boilerplate.
Can I bring multiple clients in on the same day?
Yes. Give Brian a heads-up before you arrive so the right resources — catalogs, fabric samples, vendor books — are ready. Each client's purchases are tracked separately under your account.
How do I track what I've earned?
Brian provides a monthly commission statement detailing each delivery, the commissionable amount, and the payment schedule. The first 50% is paid by direct deposit on the 15th of the month following confirmed delivery. The second 50% follows the month after, net of any returns or adjustments.
How long do special orders and custom builds take?
Most special orders run 6–12 weeks. Custom upholstery — specialty fabric or custom frame — can run 8–14 weeks depending on the vendor and configuration. Brian will give you a firm vendor-specific lead time before the order is placed so you can communicate it accurately to your client.
Can I get product images for presentations and mood boards?
Yes. Brian can pull vendor asset packages — photography, spec sheets, and finish samples — for any product in our catalog. For showroom pieces you'd like photographed in context, reach out and we'll coordinate. Your presentations should look as polished as the product.
Can I bring my own fabric (COM)?
Yes — our upholstery makers accept COM on most frames. Bring your own material and we coordinate the spec sheet with the maker. Ask Brian about yardage requirements and any COM surcharges before you order; each maker's spec is slightly different.
Do you carry contract-grade options?
Yes. Flexsteel's commercial line is particularly strong for hospitality and contract residential — high-cycle performance fabrics, frame specs built for heavy use. Mayo also has commercial-rated selections. Tell Brian the rub count or project spec you need and he'll point you to the right frames.
