Dow Furniture was named Best Maine Furniture Store in Down East magazine’s annual Best of Maine issue. From shopping to eating to playing outdoors, Down East readers and editors selected their statewide favorites this year and Dow Furniture made the list.

Winners of the “Best of Maine” awards are selected for one of two categories: the Readers’ Choice or the Editors’ Choice. Ideas for the annual Editors’ Choice Best of Maine Down East are collected throughout the year as the magazine’s editors and contributors travel the state. The Readers’ Choice nominees are identified and voted on by thousands of Down East readers each year. Individual categories include Travel & Play, Food & Drink, Arts & Media, and Shopping & Self. This year the winners were closer than ever.

“Our Best of Maine feature is a great summer tradition,” said Down East Editor in Chief Kathleen Fleury. “It’s a chance to pause our hectic lives, take stock of the place we love, and remind ourselves what’s great about living here!”
