Established in 1931. Over 88 years of Rubin's Furniture! That's a very long time. Almost a century ago, my grandfather, Ben Rubin came to Madison, Wisconsin from Russia and opened the very first Rubin's Furniture. In 1969, I bought my father's half of Badger Furniture and added management to my repertoire.
Living Rooms was our contemporary beginning. My wife, Judith Rubin opened this store in 1979 and we became sole owners several years later. We closed Badger and changed the name back to Rubin's Furniture in 1983. Rubin's Milwaukee opened in 1991 and moved to the 3rd Ward in 1993. Rubin's Scandinavian, now r-LIFESTYLE, opened on the west side of Madison in 1995.

1 1/2 yrs old, 50 lbs, Male. Onyx is a friendly boy who loves to play and snuggle. He enjoys running around and showing off his jumping skills - in fact, some people have called him a kangaroo! He's a clever boy who's learned sit, touch, and leave it, and he'd definitely benefit from more doggy classes to become the best mannered pup he can be.

I'm not sure what Rubin's is like right now, but the few times I've visited over the past 20 years, it was extremely difficult to get anyone's attention to help me. Right after buying a big Victorian house, I was ready to buy a whole set of bedroom and living room furniture. I walked into the downtown store, and no one would even look my way... they couldn't be bothered. I tried a few times, and only once did someone come up to help me. Finally, I gave up and went to Chicago with a truck and bought a bunch of stuff, including Victorian ceiling fixtures. People in all the Chicago stores were extremely

Amazing service. If you are unable to walk the stairs, they do have a freight elevator in the back (requires staff assistance.) A bit pricey, but some of the furniture is of top tier quality, so it's bound to be such. I recommend some of the bed frames with the branch-looking metal head-board. They also have some stone-top scratch-resistant desks for computers/etc. There is a clearance section upstairs (access is inside the store, go around the wall on the left near the entrance and up the stairs.) Bed frames are downstairs.

I bought 2 tables and a bed at Rubin's last week. This place has a lot of hard-to-find items, and I really enjoyed shopping here.
For delivery, it is best that you meet the 3rd-party carrier at the store, and then proceed to your residence. Also - it is critical that you give them your cell phone (we gave 2 numbers by mistake, and they never called the cell phone).

While there are a lot of items in the store I would never buy, for instance the ottoman that looks like a ball of rocks, I still really like going here.
The sales people are wonderful and will help you find items from their vendors even if they don't carry it in the store.
So if you're in to funky furniture, with some good modern items thrown in the mix you should give this place a shot.

I'm a fan of chic, modern furniture, but not of Rubin's. From time to time the window display is interesting, but the bulk of the furniture inside seems silly. I can't imagine most of it in an actual home. The prices seems ok, but I think they go a bit overboard trying to have the newest, funkiest stuff.

I was walking around the area a while back and happened to see this furniture store. I went inside just to check it out, not really expecting to buy anything, but I had been casually looking for a new couch so I thought it wouldn't hurt to just check it out. Definitely a great find!
Their selection is primarily contemporary and they have some very cool furniture pieces here.....and the prices are very good. Comparing to some of the other larger, more well known stores focusing on contemporary/modern furniture in Chicago, this place definitely has some of the best prices I've seen.
