Scan Home was founded in the summer of 1983 by Carl and Barbara Propes. They shared a dream of bringing moderately-priced disassembled contemporary Scandinavian furniture to the Alaskan market. Five containers of furniture were imported that summer from Denmark as a test and sold at the old sports arena on Fireweed Lane (now occupied by Arctic Office Products).
The following spring Carl and Barbara opened a 3,100 square foot store on West 36th Avenue in Anchorage. Carl and Barbara's children, Lindsay and Alex, often played in the store while they were growing up and acted in some of our early TV ads.

Carl Propes from Scan Home in Anchorage, Alaska helped me out in a big way. I was desperate trying to furnish a Senior Home almost immediately over night. I contacted Scan Home in the evening. Carl stepped up to the task and found a perfect piece of furniture for me from my vague description. He listened carefully to my needs, looked through this inventory on a moment's notice, patiently asked questions and considered all the options. He sent me pictures so I could choose. Gave me a 10% discount and made sure it was delivered timely the next day.
Contemporary Design Group (CDG) - Scan Home is the only furniture store in Alaska that is a member of this leading group of contemporary furniture retailers in the United States.

High quality customer experience, product, and delivery! Bought two bookshelves, which look gorgeous in our tiny apartment, are sturdy, were so affordable for the quality, and were delivered and setup seamlessly the day after we ordered them in only a half hour. Thank you so much, would recommend again and again!

Scan Home has helped us with our furniture needs for the second time and we're beyond pleased with the thoughtfulness and effort they've spent finding us the perfect fits for our home. Laura was incredibly kind and put in the time to research and present options when I explained what we needed to host houseguests. She saved me time and stress! We will gladly be returning for future furniture purchases.

The Scan Home family, specifically Dee, went above and beyond to help us find the best new bed to meet our needs. She was very prompt with communications, in person and via email, and was patient as we flip-flopped before making our final decision. Dee did not hover around or pressure us, which was something we had experienced with other sales associates in a couple other furniture stores.
She gave us the time and space needed while we explored all of our options and excelled at making us feel comfortable and valued as customers. Scan Home, as a whole, carries extremely well made products with beds made in the US from real wood not particle board. As a bonus, when we were in the store, we got to dote on Taco, Scan Home's canine mascot, while we waited on quotes and paperwork to be finalised. Can't recommend Scan Home enough!

Bought a specialized Palliser zero gravity chair in November. I hoped it might be in by Christmas or my husband's birthday in February. Neither happened because of a delay at the Palliser factory. This was not Scan Home fault, but management was awesome in making it up to us with the delivery. Most of our purchases have can from Scan Home. Thanks for always being professional and courteous.

I will say they have exceptional furniture, high end yes, but it's worth every dollar. We have seen some of the most amazing pieces in Norwegian and Danish furniture which is our look, Modern & Natural. So today we bought a Stressless Couch a Stressless Chair and Ottoman and a gorgeous dining table by Skovby. We're going back tomorrow for our leather dining Skovby chairs.
So comfortable and goes with our bar stools for our kitchen island. We've also decided on a Coffee table and End tables set. We love Scan. We have our guy too. Josh, who has been to our new construction house and walked it with us. He met our architect and can really get a feel for what your working with and will steer you so right. You will too fall in love with classic modern and the clean lines. So happy!

Bought several items here recently - called the salesperson to get a table that matched one that I ha JUST bought - she said no problem and confirmed that I would be in later THAT AFTERNOON to pick up the floor model. When I showed up that day to return a damaged item I had unpacked that day, they had already SOLD the item I reserved. Really?

5/2011: So far, so good. I've gone in once, and got good service. We're going to buy a chair from here this summer, will update the review when I actually buy. *Edit, 6/2012: I went back, ordered the chair, and went to the warehouse to pick it up. The warehouse guy was nice about advising on how to assemble the chair we chose. The chair has held up well, I'm impressed with the quality. I've also ordered a desk since then from them, had it delivered and am extremely impressed to have a nice, furniture-store desk, with delivery, at a very reasonable price! Yes, they have some expensive pieces, but you can find really good deals there, just in the regular merchandise, not even in the sale parts. I'm definitely a fan!

I purchased my Dining room table and 6 chairs. My sofa, occasional chair & ottoman, coffee, side and entry table, as well as my Jesper Brand wall unit all from Scan Home. Their delivery fee is the lowest in town, I've checked all the furniture stores. It was nice to work with a consultant to get it all in the correct color scheme and make sure it would all fit in my condo before I made the final purchase. P.S. They moved to the Dover Center.

I'm sure Scan Home's furniture products are high quality and all--even if they're not, they do offer a truly amazing selection of futon covers, which is something--but wow are they expensive. More importantly, their website is miserably out of date. I went in looking for a Cordaroy bag, which their site claims they sell, with pictures "coming soon." But a member of the sales staff told me that they haven't sold them in quite some time, as "that supplier is no longer available to [them]." I guess I should have realized, when I saw the $399 chair--nothing special, wood, goes around a dining room table with 3 other $399 chairs--that the Cordaroy bags, expensive though they are, are just too low-end for this establishment.
