35 Years of Knowing What Makes a Home
Country Marketplaces was founded by Jane Dooley Zailskas in 1991 with a single retail store in the Boston area. Over the next two decades, the business grew to eight brick-and-mortar locations across Massachusetts, building a loyal following of customers who valued personal service, handpicked products, and a shopping experience that felt nothing like a chain store.
In 2011, Jane began transitioning the business online. By December 2019, countrymarketplaces.com had become the company's home — carrying forward the same philosophy that built the retail stores: find products worth caring about, stand behind them completely, and treat every customer like a neighbor.
That philosophy has not changed. What has changed is the product line.
Our Flagship: Handcrafted Reclaimed Wood Mudroom Bench Organizers
Country Marketplaces is now home to one of the most distinctive pieces of furniture you will find anywhere online — reclaimed wood mudroom bench organizers handcrafted in the USA from 100-year-old Pennsylvania barn wood.
These are not mass-produced. Each bench is built to order, one at a time, by skilled craftspeople who have spent decades working reclaimed wood. The result is a hall tree bench with genuine history in every grain and knot — deep cubbies for boots and backpacks, triple-prong cast iron coat hooks for the whole family, and optional hidden door storage for a cleaner look. Every bench ships with white glove inside delivery included.
Four sizes are available as standard — 48", 48" with door storage, 72", and 90" — and every dimension can be customized to fit your exact wall width, ceiling height, or storage configuration. These benches have found homes in ski chalets in Vermont, beach houses on the Cape, lake houses in the Adirondacks, ranches in Montana, and classic New England colonials. They are built to last generations.

Our Second Collection: Wood Signs With Sayings
Country Marketplaces also carries one of the largest curated selections of wood signs with sayings on the internet — over 4,000 designs and growing. This collection has been at the heart of the business since the early retail days and remains one of our most-loved categories.
Whatever the occasion, the room, or the person, there is a sign here that fits. Funny signs that will make your guests laugh out loud. Inspirational quotes for the home office or bedroom. Beach house and lake house décor. Signs for the porch, the kitchen, the garden, and the garage. Seasonal and holiday pieces. Custom one-of-a-kind signs designed by our own graphic artist for any text, any message, any occasion.
Prices start under $20, making wood signs one of the most gifted items we carry — easy to order, easy to ship, and almost always exactly right.

Décor & Gifts for Every Home and Budget
Alongside our two flagship collections, Country Marketplaces carries a carefully selected range of home décor and gifts — wood framed wall art, decorative pillows, glassware, hand-carved wooden step stools, metal wall décor, serving trays, mugs, ornaments, and seasonal pieces for every holiday. These are the items that fill a home with personality and make for gifts that people actually keep.
A Business Built on Personal Relationships
Here is something you will not find at Wayfair or Amazon: a real person who answers her own phone, knows every product in the store, has 35 years of retail experience, and genuinely enjoys talking to customers.
Jane founded Country Marketplaces and still runs it today. She reads every message, answers every call, and personally follows up with every furniture customer from the moment the order is placed to the day the bench is delivered inside your home. For customers who have questions about sizing, custom dimensions, the production process, or white glove delivery, Jane is the answer — not a chatbot, not a customer service queue, not a form that goes into a folder.
Her direct line is 888-834-1925. She picks up.
