Well there's Brunschwig & Fils, Mody & Mody, Donghia, Horchow, Williams-Sonoma, and there's several Crate & Barrels. I don't know as much about luxury furniture. I would assume that the higher class of Dallasites get their furniture from other countries.

What are some of the luxury furniture stores in New York?

The biggest one is Bloomingdales. They're all over here, especially in the suburbs. I went in there once before we bought our house. We saw beds for $10,000+. I know there are a bunch of Ethan Allans, but besides that, I don't know many high-end furniture stores. I'm sure there's a lot here.

Okay so what's the point here? New York has the most of everything when it comes to shopping. I've never denied that. And why would I? NY is more than 3x the size of Dallas, so of course its going to have things in greater number.

The point I was trying to make is that Dallas can definitely hold its own. The market for luxury retail is VERY big in DFW. And if there's a designer or brand you can find in NY, you'll find it in Dallas. You just wont find as much of it.

High end furniture is often not bought from chain stores that are nationwide. Stuff is bought from small independent stores that have unique products that are high quality. It also usually refelcts the popular design style of a region. For example, Tuscan is all the rage in my area. Here is an example of independent high end furniture places in my area:
Mckee and Company - Store
Aria Home Collection (http://ariahomecollection.com/index.html - broken link)
Its more unique than anything you get at a chain like Williams Sonoma.

Also, most people with lots of money have interior designers just bring the stuff directly to their house and they look at it there.

I agree, Dallas can hold its own, this was kind of similar to that Chicago vs White Plains thread, Chicago is like 23 times the size of White Plains yet White Plains could still hold its own .

There are 11 Bloomingdales here, but 0 in Dallas. That's a pretty big difference.
