If someone on your list is in the market for some new furniture, be sure to look out for Saloom products at your local furniture store (Circle Furniture and Cardi’s are just a pair of the dealers who carry their product). Started in 1982 by Peter Saloom, who began making dining room furniture in his father’s basement, the company, based in Winchendon, has two factories in Massachusetts, where high-quality tables, chairs, and hutches are created for the “heart of your home.”
