Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why do we use a PO Box as our address?
It's just easier to keep track of mail. Our company has moved around a couple times and a PO Box allows us to keep the same address. Being in business 5 years means we get a lot of mail. It's just easier if it comes to one place. Frankly, we're always more bothered when we call a business and get an automated voice. Most of the time, you'll get a live person when you call Nantuckit.com. If not, it's a simple message and we'll call back.

2. How did Nantuckit get started and why do you spell Nantuckit with an "I"?
We just love Nantucket Island. It was the inspiration behind the idea for relaxed vacation/cottage style slipcovered furniture that makes you feel comfortable in every way. Because our company started as only a custom slipcovered furniture company, we wanted a name connected to the kind of furniture you find in vacation homes, cottage homes, and anywhere the mood is relaxed or the ability to clean the covers is a necessity. 5 years ago, when we started Nantuckit Furniture Company, LLC, Nantucket.com was taken by the local government of Nantucket. Yes, we could have had NantucketFurnitureCompany.com. It just seemed to long. For us, Nantuckit was a way to get a shorter domain name and still be able to pronounce the word the way it's correctly spelled. Sooo...that's what we did. Some think we did it intentionally because the "tuckit" part refers to how you tuck slipcovers in sometimes. That's not why we did it. Five years later, it's a part of who we are. We are all over the internet with customers in all 50 states and Canada and known as Nantuckit.com. We have great customer feedback and want to keep being found by anyone looking for lifetime warranty, USA made, beautiful, and custom slipcovered furniture (and now upholstered, outdoor, and custom leather furniture as well).
