French term or phrase: Nous nous investissons à vos côtés
This is regarding the excellent service this firm offers its customers in choosing the correct furniture etc for each room.

"Nous nous investissons à vos côtés pour répondre au mieux à votre problématique et nous sélectionnons pour vous ..."

I am looking for a good phrase to use here. I have thought of "We stand resolutely at your side....", "We commit ourselves to ..." etc, but I know there is something better than those.

Our focus is on helping you to...
Explanation:
Our focus is on helping you to find the solution that's right for you. Perhaps even: We will work closely with you to find.... Looking at the rest of the text (on the site) helps, as it's about finding the right table for the right space and purpose.

As Joshua says, this is a marketing text so you need to convey the flavour of the original rather than provide an "accurate" translation.

We commit to...


Explanation:
Short and sweet.
Or: we're deeply committed to...
If you want to emphasize the "à vos côtés": We're a committed partner in...
Or for example:
As a partner committed to fulfilling your needs, we select for you...

Just a few ideas to add to the others. You can play around with this sentence. Don't worry if you deviate from the original slightly more than with other kinds of texts, as this is marketing, so it needs to sound as natural and captivating as possible.
