Inexpensive Furniture Stores

[PRINCESS_KIM]

Looking for more ideas on where to look for inexpensive furniture. I have been going to the following:

Goodwill Industries
Salvation Army
Costco
Furniture Rental Companies who turn around and sells them at the end of a lease

how about Ikea?? maybe you have a store near you? also don't know how inexpensive your looking for but don't forget moving sales. when people move out of state and sell all their furniture you can find some great buys!! also i would watch that show on hgtv called "design on a dime" wow is it good they always redo a room for under $1,000!!!! 2stepgal

Auctions are a great place to find furniture! Also, look in the classifieds of the paper. I know some friends who've found great deals that way. Good Luck!

Is there anyone out in North Carolina who can confirm or refine this list? Shipping it home is another issue....and may not be worth it in the end.

Sorry if my reply's a little late, but I don't normally frequent this board, and I just saw your post.
There was actually a thread on this topic a while ago on the Bbay Bargains forum.

Personally, for more inexpensive furniture, I love Pier 1, except for couches. I find they make their couches tiny, low to the ground, like they were built for kids. I HATE that.

Thanks for the heads up. The link was under Baby Bargains...unusual place to be since no one was talking about baby furniture but rather furnishing an entire house with dining room sets, bedroom sets, etc.!

This is the luxury mattress you want, and when it's on sale, it can be affordable!

I live in Chicago and visited friends that live outside Asheville last fall. Went to Hickory Furnt. Mart just to visit the Mitchell and Gold outlet. LOVED IT!!! We only allotted a few hours to look around and could have spent 10 hours or more. It is worth the drive, flight or whatever transportation you need to take. I purchased here a M&G sofa retail, on sale. The outlet had one almost identical for 50% of what my sale price was. Purchased two chairs, one from M&G, one from Boyles. We fit the smaller chair in our car to bring home. Had the larger chair/ottoman shipped by Boyles. My recommendations: if driving rent a trailer or a large van to get/bring back or use the in-house shipping company that ships ALL stores in the mart. Boyles took forever to ship to us (almost 2 months) and it was costly. But we only had 15 mins to get 2 purchases made and shipping arranged before store closed. This is an outlet mart, you have to look at quality and defects when purchasing, but I did not see anything wrong with 90% of M&G. Mostly rejected custom orders or discontinued items. Boyles has lots of scratch and dent stuff. I can’t say enough how worth out of our way it was. Prices are great, if you can’t find it here you can’t find it anywhere, literally almost every furniture company in the nation is represented in the mart. Just arrange shipping with the actual in-house shipping company, not individual stores.

There are great outlets in NC. We have purchased several things from the Mitchell Gold outlet. We did visit once, but now I just call up and ask if they have pieces on the floor. If they are in stock, I can just get the price with shipping/wrapping (there is a per piece wrapping fee and the shipping is based on weight and distance)....Everything has shipped quickly and the price is always around 50% off retail, at least.
