Need advice on buying Furnitue

[Francois]

I have heard from more than one place that Rooms to Go has really cheap product and the salespeople don't really know much about it, compared to the other places. I was helping my dad and stepmohter shop for some living room furniture recently and a few of the other places we went, the sales staff were very knowledgeable about how the furniture was made, etc.

Home Comfort was probably the place I was most impressed with.

You should use the Greensboro/Winston-Salem forum for questions about High Point--this one is for the Triangle.

If the store folds, say adios to your money unless you use a credit card and dispute the charge within 60 days of the first statement it appeared on.

As a former fraud investigator for credit cards, I shudder hearing people put down $10K or more on furniture.

If the money gets that high, escrow the funds with your attorney. If the store won't agree, pass them by.

Isn't this risk eliminated if you use a credit card?

What place would you suggest to buy good quality (last good 10-15 years at least) Furniture. we have a fairly decent budget (around 8-10 thousand for the whole 3Bedroom plus family room house). We saw Rooms to go and Harvetys.

If you want good quality furniture, don't go to Rooms To Go

We shop for all our "good" furniture (i.e., dovetail joints on the case goods, etc . . . . not stapled butt joints) at Furnitureland South.

Furniture for the kids' rooms and playroom comes from Target and yard sales. Sometimes you can find some good old furniture at yard sales that can be refinished to look new.

I owned American made, hardwood furniture stores for 15 years and I won't step inside a Rooms to Go. We shopped Haverty's when we moved to Raleigh and they had decent quality and seemed reasonably priced. We ended up taking a ride to Furniture Land South and purchasing a few rooms of furniture from there. They were priced competitively and had the best selection of quality and price points around

Furnitureland South does not accept credit cards......but since we did not know this when we made our purchase they seemed to find a way to accept a deposit by CC
