Bob's on top of COSTCO at East 107th has service from a cab company a couple blocks away...they have a guy in the parking lot hawking the service.
.
Just tell him what you need and they'll get a van in 10 minutes and the rates are pretty good. (They told me that a van for a large carpet from Costco and a ride to the UES would run me about $35. But I got a carpet at Home Depot instead.)
Hey thanks OP for starting this thread. I'm in need of living room furniture too and I don't want to go to these cheap places here in Brooklyn. I want furniture that will last and looks good.
I wouldn't mind looking over at Bob's but dang I don't want to have to travel to Jersey unless there's a simple way to get to the store from Manhattan without a car.

They actually have a location in yonkers and one in the upper east.
I bought a larrge birch desk and a large bookshelf made to my specs at Gothic Millwork back in the '70's and both are still in excellent service and enjoying their third home.
(I hate to tell you how little I paid back then.)
Another vote for Gothic Cabinet Craft. We have the full-size platform bed I bought when I was single and living in Brooklyn -- this was in 1990. It is still just as good as the day we bought it. I have NEVER had furniture last this long from anywhere else.
The bed is solid wood, unfinished oak and has two huge drawers underneath. You can get different finishes and I believe most are the same price.
We're just about to buy a captains bed for our daughter from Gothic -- we now live two states away, but they offer free shipping. How great is that?
about five years ago I needed to buy a queen sized bed frame with drawers (some people call it a captain's frame)
by far the best price on a good frame i found was in brooklyn, one of the many small furniture stores lining 5th avenue in the 60s and 70s streets
those places carry the same units as many similar stores in the other boroughs. i don't know how to describe the stores like this beyond that one locational clue. aside from i know them when i see them
anyway the frame has been through a move and held up great for five years now. it is a *very* heavy duty piece of furniture. i am very happy i went there rather than ikea or one of the other big chains
they also arranged delivery
