La-Z-Boy has good quality. They are one of the few left who do.
As for the other discount retailers, I don't understand how spending $400 on a couch and getting a "great deal" is a good investment when it will look like a faded, flat piece of garbage in two years and then one will need to spend another $400 to replace it. Better to go to La-Z-Boy or better yet get something 8 way hand tied for $800 the first time around that will last for 10+ years.
Of course, Ashley is the largest furniture chain in America, so I guess that's what people want.
I am off the belief that if I spend $500 on a couch, it will need replaced 5 years down the line, for certain reasons that may be the way to go.
I have two La-z-boy recliners they are over 5 years old and you would not know it.
So would people say that rooms-to-go are the worst followed by vcf then Ashley?
For those from South Florida whom would you rate the same as City Furniture?
In North Carolina of all places it makes no sense to buy imported cr*p from a national big box junkyard like RTG, VCF or Ashley. Buying something made in Hickory or High Point or Thomasville means your money is going into the furniture, not into transporting junk 15,000 miles from China.
What you should do is head to Park Road Shopping Center and pickup the free remodeling and home magazines they have at the entrances to Blackhawk Hardware, Caribou Coffee and Harris Teeter. Look through them and find the furniture outlets and discounters. Not only will you get far higher quality, but it will be in stock and you'll be dealing with a local business where the delivery guy is more likely the owner's son-in-law than an illegal alien.

Good places to go to get decent furniture are Hickory Furniture mart in hickory
Furniture land south High Point
Thomasville Furniture Outlet I use this lady there she is awesome matching fabrics and southern hosipitality at its finest. She also will send you a brochure if needed send me a pm if you want her contact info.
If you do go up there they have the coolest little chain called biscuitville they have the best homemade biscuits
IMO, you get what you pay for! My parents always tried to teach me that and I have learned that buying furniture. Our very first couch and living room set was from Rooms to go, back in 1996. It lasted maybe 4 years, and I think that is generous. We also spent a lot of time looking for a computer hutch and bought one from American Signature Home, I think it lasted 3 years.
I would say buy from the furniture areas in Hickory or High Point directly, or find a local furniture store who has a great reputation and an onsite warehouse. Most of the mom and pop operations offer great quality at a little higher price, but with the onsite warehouse, if in stock, they can usually deliver in a day of two.

I m was from South Florida and I have a couch and love seat from City Furniture that I bought 2 years ago. Still looks ok
I would rate City Furniture first and Ashley Furniture second.
Loved the free cookies that they gave out at City Furniture. They also had Ashley furniture near the Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise. I did not like it there but I did end up buying a couch here at Ashley at Pinevine. That would be not used that much. I would agree you get what you pay for.
I do agree if you want something to last spend a more money like lazy boy especially if the furniture is being used in a high traffic area. Well anyway that just my opinion.
I did purchase kitchen table and mattress from a store in Concord, called Furniture Depot. and they have brand name furniture there like lazy boy, broyhill at discount prices. No thrills place. But its a hit or miss. place.
Well anyway good luck.
