Today we’d like to introduce you to Kolton Wild.
Hi Kolton, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Nearly two years ago, what started as a side hustle in my garage quickly evolved into something much bigger than I ever imagined. At the time, I was working in sales, chasing commission checks, but feeling unfulfilled. I knew I wanted more — not just financially, but personally. I wanted to build something of my own.
Kaye Furniture didn’t have a name back then. It was just me, buying used wood furniture, sanding it down, refinishing it, and flipping it for a small profit. I wasn’t creating museum-worthy pieces, but I became obsessed with refining the process — making it faster, smoother, and more efficient. I streamlined my workflow to the point where I could turn around multiple dressers, nightstands, and other pieces in a single day. That’s where the fire started.
Soon, I transitioned into flipping upholstered furniture — mainly sectionals and sofas — and that’s when things really took off. My garage quickly filled to the brim with couches, so I expanded to three oversized storage units. Not long after, we opened the doors to our first brick-and-mortar location, proudly displaying Kaye Furniture across the storefront.
From the beginning, we’ve taken the road less traveled. Our path has been anything but conventional — and that’s by design. We’ve built this business by saying yes to ideas others wouldn’t dare try, staying lean and hands-on in every part of our operation. My wife and I personally handle deliveries, marketing, logistics — every detail that brings the Kaye Furniture experience to life.
That approach has paid off. Today, we carry some of the top names in the furniture industry and are on track to generate over $1 million in sales this upcoming year. But beyond the numbers, we’re proud to offer something different: a modern, refreshing take on furniture buying. No outrageous markups. No pushy salespeople. Just high-quality pieces at honest prices — all driven by passion, hustle, and heart.
We’re incredibly grateful to the loyal customers who’ve supported us from day one, and we’re just getting started. At Kaye Furniture, we’re not just selling furniture — we’re redefining what it feels like to shop for it.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Absolutely not.
That’s the answer we heard more times than we can count.
From freezing nights in the garage with paint spilling across the concrete, to being turned down by manufacturers who said we were too young — the road to building Kaye Furniture hasn’t been easy. We started with limited tools, no delivery truck, and every dollar we made went straight back into the business. There were nights we’d drive furniture out to St. George, Idaho, and beyond — getting home at 3am with just enough energy to start all over the next day.
I launched this company at 23 years old, fueled by nothing but drive, belief, and a willingness to outwork the doubt. Even now, at 25, we still encounter skepticism — people assuming we’re too young to be taken seriously in this industry. But the truth is, every challenge has only made us sharper.
We’ve built incredible relationships along the way — with customers, partners, and mentors who’ve believed in us not for our age, but for our commitment. And through every roadblock, we’ve learned to lean into creativity and innovation to find a way forward.
The grind has been real — but so has the growth. And every difficult step has been worth it.
We’ve been impressed with Kaye Furniture , but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Kaye Furniture is a modern, locally-owned furniture business based in Bluffdale, Utah. We specialize in offering high-quality, on-trend furniture — from sectionals and sofas to bedroom sets, dining pieces, and more – all at unbeatable prices. What started as a side hustle flipping furniture in our garage has grown into a full-fledged storefront, and we’re proud to serve customers across Utah and surrounding states.
We’re known for bringing major style without the major markup. We carry pieces from top industry names while keeping our overhead low — my wife and I personally handle every part of the business, from delivery to marketing, to ensure we can pass on the savings directly to our customers. Our goal is to create a refreshing, no-pressure shopping experience where customers actually feel taken care of — not upsold or overwhelmed.
What sets us apart is how hands-on we are. There’s no middleman here. When you message us on Instagram, you’re talking directly to the owners. When your couch gets delivered, it’s us showing up at your door. That level of connection is rare in this industry, and we take pride in staying involved at every step of the process.
Brand-wise, we’re most proud of the trust we’ve built. Customers know that when they shop with Kaye Furniture, they’re getting real value, honest service, and a team that genuinely cares. We’ve created a loyal following by keeping things personal, fast, and flexible — and we love helping people find pieces they’re excited to bring into their homes.
For anyone reading: if you’re looking for beautiful, functional furniture without paying showroom prices — and you want to support a local business that does things differently — come check us out. Whether it’s your first apartment or your forever home, we’re here to help you furnish it without the stress.
What makes you happy?
Seeing this business grow — truly grow — brings me a deep sense of happiness and pride. Watching something that started in my garage turn into a brand people recognize, support, and trust has been incredibly fulfilling. It’s not just about sales or numbers; it’s about the moments that remind me why I started.
One of the best feelings is when a customer says, “I’ve been eyeing this piece for months — I’ve always wanted it, but it was out of reach until now.” Hearing that never gets old, because it means we’re doing what we set out to do: offering beautiful, high-quality furniture at a price people can actually afford. Knowing that someone was finally able to get the piece they’ve dreamed about — not because they compromised, but because our pricing made it possible — that’s what makes this business so rewarding.
