John Gabbert founded Room & Board as a subsidiary of his parents' furniture store company (Gabberts), of which he served as president. Room & Board soon spun off to become an independent company with Gabbert at the helm.[1] It presently has 964 employees and operates 22 stores in eleven states plus thirteen delivery/distribution centers around the country,[2].

The company partners with local companies across the country to produce its modern living, dining, bedroom, kids, office and outdoor furniture and home decor.[3] In 2018, Room & Board introduced a bath collection, including bath vanities, mirrors, lighting and bath decor.[4] Room & Board's Business Interiors division provides services for commercial spaces, including floor planning services, product suggestions, high-volume discounts, commercial interiors-approved product lists, Business Interiors product warranty, invoicing and payment terms, Project Coordinator assistance, COM customization and customized delivery options.

Hoover's lists IKEA, Pier 1 Imports, and Euromarket's Crate & Barrel as competitors.[2]
