DecorAsian

DecorAsian is owned by Rusty Staff, who is named on the about-us page as having hand-selected the store's merchandise "in country" across Asia. The company-history page traces the business's roots to Staff's earlier travel company, Asia Transpacific Journeys (ATJ), which he and a former business partner began operating out of Boulder, Colorado starting in 1987; after the September 11, 2001 attacks affected that Asia-focused travel business, Staff pivoted into importing Asian furnishings, eventually forming DecorAsian with a new business partner and opening a small storefront near Boulder's Pearl Street Mall, later adding a Boulder warehouse store. Following the 2008 financial crash, Staff sought a new location and, per the company-history page, first saw the 15,000-square-foot building at 1787 South Broadway in Denver on January 1, 2009, purchased it with seller financing in February 2009, and opened the renovated Denver showroom in June 2009 after closing the Boulder store. The page also states that several other Denver-area Asian-specialty stores closed between 2009 and 2012 and sold inventory to DecorAsian. It names current staff as Alia, Kent, Suzy, Chai (Staff's son), and Frank, and credits Reed Halstead as the first manager of DecorAsian's original Boulder location. The site does not state an exact founding year for DecorAsian itself distinct from this history of its predecessor businesses and relocations.

DecorAsian offers on-site design consultations, described on its consultations page as help incorporating "Fine Things Asian" and other eclectic pieces into a customer's home. The page states the service is billed hourly, with a portion of the consultation fee creditable toward a later purchase above a stated minimum threshold, and that additional non-refundable charges may apply for delivering pieces during a consultation or for drive time outside the Denver metro area; the store also states it reserves the right to limit design consultations. The page describes a required one-hour minimum charge paid in advance for all on-site consultations, with a credit card kept on file in case time and charges exceed what was prepaid. Any merchandise delivered in connection with a consultation is stated to be subject to the store's separate approval policy, referenced but not detailed on this page. This document does not restate the specific dollar rate published on the site, since consultation charges and thresholds can change; customers should contact DecorAsian directly by phone at (303) 998-5632 for current rates, to get a cost estimate for a specific consultation, or to schedule an appointment. The service is positioned on the site as a way to get professional design assistance rather than a full-service interior design retainer.

Lists Stafford, Denver, Boulder, and Kent as a location. Names South, Colorado, Louisville, Lafayette, Erie, Arvada, Aurora, and Broomfield as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

DecorAsian offers delivery of purchased pieces from its Denver showroom rather than requiring customers to transport items themselves. The delivery and shipping page states that delivery charges are quoted with the aim of covering the store's own costs — fuel, wear and tear, labor — and that the exact charge depends on variables including the number and nature of the pieces, the distance, and how many delivery crew members are needed; the store notes it may require a second delivery person for larger or heavier pieces at its discretion, and that customer assistance during delivery is discouraged for liability reasons. The page organizes delivery into named zones covering the Denver area and beyond: Zone 1 covers Denver city limits and nearby suburbs including Englewood, Littleton, Lakewood, Thornton, Broomfield, Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Northglenn, Centennial, Cherry Hills, and Greenwood Village; Zone 2 covers Boulder County's plains area (Longmont, Louisville, Niwot, Lafayette, Erie) as well as Parker, Lone Tree, and Aurora; Zone 3 covers the Boulder County mountains, Castle Rock, and Franktown. This document does not restate the specific dollar figures listed for each zone, since delivery pricing can change. Customers wanting a delivery quote or estimate for their location should contact the store directly at (303) 998-5632.

DecorAsian accepts items for consignment and, in some cases, outright purchase. Its selling/consigning page describes the store as Denver's only Asian-specialist store and states it looks for pieces that are eclectic, interesting, of quality, and in at least good condition, favoring hand-made, one-of-a-kind items over what the page calls "tourist chotske," while noting it has sold items from all over the world, not only Asia. The page explains that consignment generally nets a seller more than an outright purchase by the store, though purchase is available for those wanting to cash out quickly, and that minor fix-ups can be handled in-house while significant repair work is billed to the consignor. To sell or consign, the page directs customers to email Rusty@decorAsianStyle.com with photos, after which the store responds with an assessment and a consignment agreement if applicable. Separately, DecorAsian's Renting Space From Us page offers 10 to 15 mini-showrooms of roughly 80 to 150 square feet in its front showroom for artists, dealers, retailers, or designers, on a short-term basis with a stated minimum three-month commitment, subject to availability, and including floor sales staffing and light merchandising; wall space and about 3,000 square feet of upstairs space are also mentioned as available for compatible uses. The page gives 303-619-5938 as the number to call for space-rental details and availability, or Rusty@DecorAsianStyle.com by email; this document does not restate specific rental rates, which are not published on the page reviewed.
