About Us

Since 1946, Chez-Del Home Furnishings & Interior Design has sought to provide a beautiful design for every room. Through 72 years and 3 generations, the DelMedico family has brought hand-selected furniture, custom interior design work, and more to customers throughout Ohio.

Located in Akron, 25 minutes away from most Cleveland and Canton suburbs, Chez-Del is more than just Ohio’s destination for unique and personalized home decor. From a living room in Akron to a country club in Florida, our design professionals offer their expertise to residential and commercial customers across the country.

Chez-Del today has grown and evolved from our immigrant grandmother’s dream. What began in her small basement was taken over by her son Vince Sr., and then handed down to current co-owners and siblings Tim DelMedico, Vince DelMedico, Jr. and Jackie Paparella. Our showroom is now home to 3 floors of inspiration: your 25,000 square foot one-stop destination for all your furnishing, decor, and design needs.

“Just had to share how much I am in love with the furniture I’ve purchased from Chez Del in Akron, Ohio!

Over the past two years, I’ve purchased a few fill in pieces for my bedroom, breakfast room, and even an entire living room of furniture at Chez Del’s popular summer warehouse event. I’ve always known exactly what I wanted, having an interior design background myself, and been able to make decisions easily. However, it was the purchase of my family room furniture that had me baffled for the first time. I just couldn’t narrow my ideas and decide on the right style and layout. With the help of designer Becky Harrell, my furniture was delivered this week and I am thrilled.

Becky worked with me over a year and a half. She was gracious to quote multiple pieces, let me check out umpteen samples of fabric and finishes, and never made me feel as undeceive as I knew I was being. She knew I wanted quality and I wanted a great price and so steered me to take advantage of the Chez Del fall upholstery sale. Becky came to the house and measured the room to put it into their design software and show me exactly how the furniture would sit in the room. We thought through all the fabrics and finishes and ultimately decided on a look that fit me, my family and our personality.

With tons of family showing up for Christmas, the Chez Del team kept a last minute delivery slot open for me, followed up with manufacturers, and made sure we had furniture for our company. The delivery guys (Keith and Joe) are top notch. I’m a little picky and they took extreme care to cover my floors and carefully placed the furniture; often making slight adjustments to my liking.

At installation, Becky informed me that the manufacturer of my sofas had left off a decorative feature I had ordered. Chez Del hired their furniture upholstery person to add the decorative features and handled the issue before I even knew about it. It was done perfectly and without my having to stress about it. That is excellent customer service!

Bottom line, the furniture business is a tough one these days as manufacturing has changed a great deal. It’s not unusual for the retailer to have to answer to quality issues, delays in shipping expectations, and a whole array of customer satisfaction issues. And, retailers are doing all this at lower margins and more online competitors than ever. Chez Del, their personal touch and expertise, is a gem in this fast changing marketplace. I’ll continue to support them and the personal experience!” –Ann Rye

“Good people and excellent furniture.” –Scott Carey
