What about these furniture stores in indy?

[rrah]

If you can find a store that sells Berne (hand made in Indiana) it's definitely worth looking at. Much of their line is more traditional, but they have some more contemporary pieces. It's custom made. There was a store up in Carmel that sold it, but I can't recall the name. I know they have a website and were pretty helpful in helping me locate a store.

Definitely not throw away furniture.

I liked Kittles outlet. We had good luck at Godby's

I know people have been bashing kittles so here's my two cents on it. We used it for purchasing a Thomasville dresser, Leather couch, ottoman and chair, Barcalounger monster chair and a kids dresser. The service was great, the people friendly, they have refilled our furniture maintainence kit when needed.
The only piece of junk we got from them was the dresser and I have to say that it had nothing to do with them. They stock a number of different brands. You can find a $1000 kids dresser or a $300 kids dresser. We chose the latter like fools and the middle drawer keeps falling out now since the thingy to hold it back has broken off :O)
As to the other pieces, they were excellent but that again had nothing to do with kittles. If you know which brand is good, know a little bit about furniture construction, etc you can find a nice selection of things there marked up a big. A little secret - they will haggle on the price if you are buying a few different items and that's a good thing because they do have quite a markup. They have a modern line but its nothing radical. A few beds and tables but things change rapidly with the store so go take a walk in there and check it out. They've always treated me well.
For modern furniture have a look at Scandinavian comfort.Isn't there another place called dutch inspirations or something? Both in the castleton area. They have some cool things. There's a really expensive modern furniture place on 82nd st and allisonville just west of Castleton Mall but I can't think of the name of it.
If you want junky modern stuff hightail it up to chicago with a minivan and load up

Just an FYI, for some reason these furniture stores think the southside has a bunch of hillbillies. (the nerve, y' all!) Gerdt and Kittles are my favorite, BUT I venture to the north side to see their FULL selection of styles.

Ashley furniture has SOME FEW good quality items. However, in general, most things have alot of quick wear on them.

Value City, in my humble opinion, is where I shopped in college. Cheap, but well.....cheap.

My FAVORITE furniture find? EBAY!. Really......make sure you are a member and are logged in (so that it knows your zip code) and then when your results come on the screen you can sort those results a variety of ways, but choose "sort by distance" and you can find people 5-200 miles from your location selling furniture.
I have bought a gorgeous 6K cherry bookcase set for $900 on the NW side of Indy.... a Pottery Barn girls bedroom set in Cincinnati, and a great desk and leather chair in Fishers for $150. Can't beat it.

Ditto here with a couch. We dumped it in the trash after about two years. Value City stuff is all junk to me. IMO, I would stay away.
