History
Cymax was founded in 2004 by Arash Fasihi as a small audio-video furniture web site. After becoming frustrated with the selection available in local stores, Arash turned to the internet to find a high TV stand. Realizing he had found a strong market opportunity, Arash decided to fill the gap himself, providing consumers with a wider selection of furniture by selling online. Focusing primarily on TV stands, the very first Cymax site—Audio-Video-Furniture.com—was born.
Building on the success of that site, Cymax developed a huge selection of home furniture, later adding products including consumer electronics, fireplaces, housewares and home décor accessories. Eventually the number of niche web sites grew to 115, but these have since all been consolidated into one all-encompassing site at Cymax.
In 2010, Arash was nominated for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in the Pacific Region, Business to Consumer Category.
Outlook
After consolidating its web stores, Cymax re-focused on offering furniture for home, outdoor, and office settings. In 2012 Cymax received investment backing and now continues to grow. Cymax aims be a North American leader in online furniture retail sales. We have an ongoing dedication to trendsetting in customer service, product selection and e-tail technology.
