Exciting news! 🎉 We’re proud to announce our new partnership with Talsma Furniture Inc, a family-owned business that’s been serving Michigan communities since 1948.

For over 75 years, Talsma has built a reputation for treating every customer like a guest in their home. No pushy sales tactics, just genuine service and beautiful furniture. Now, with Kafene’s flexible lease-to-own options, even more customers can bring home the quality furniture they love, without the big upfront cost.

The Talsma team discovered Kafene through the Furniture First Symposium, and after exploring options, chose us for our ease of use and customer-first approach. One shopper even shared how simple the process was: after applying through the Kafene link, they were approved on the spot and able to upgrade to the furniture they really wanted.

We’re thrilled to team up with such a trusted local name and help make home comfort more accessible than ever.

At Kafene, we believe great work starts with great connection.

This week, our Risk team gathered in New York for an offsite that balanced strategy and team building. They traded spreadsheets for bowling lanes, shared meals, and time together in person to share ideas and strengthen how they work as a team.
