Buying Quality Name Brand Furniture for Less

Besides a home or an automobile, buying furniture is one of the biggest investments most people make.

There are many factors to consider when buying furniture. Words like quality, comfort, style, and price come to mind. To get the best furniture for less, one needs to do some research.

1) Know what you want!

We recommend starting with a trip to some of your local furniture stores. Try to get a feel for which styles you like and what brands of furniture have the quality and comfort you are looking for. Bring a pen and pad and be prepared to take notes. Before you worry about the price of that new living room, bedroom or dining room furniture it is important to know what you want.

2) Compare Prices

The price of that Broyhill bedroom you fell in love with at your local furniture gallery or that Lane recliner your wife couldn’t pry you out of is going to vary depending on where and how you buy it. Pricing for the same furniture varies from 30% markup to over 100% markup depending on where you buy it.

Okay, you know what furniture you want and have an idea of what it’s going to cost. What else do you need to know about buying name brand furniture for less?

Sometimes manufacturers allow retailers to sell their furniture under different names for marketing purposes. For example, ABC Furniture Company makes a dining room furniture collection they call Cherry Point Dining Group. They sell large quantities of this dining room set to a major retail furniture chain. To avoid having the chain grossly undercut smaller dealers, they require the chain to call the collection by a different name and sometimes not even mention the manufacturers brand name. What this means for you is you can find that bedroom set for less.

Many decorators and designers have known for years that you can buy furniture from dealers in North Carolina or from sources on the Internet at great savings. You can have the same living room furniture you saw locally, professionally delivered and set up in your home at a fraction of the cost your local dealer charges for the very same furniture.

It is very important however, that you are careful to deal with reputable companies only. There are too many scam artists on the Internet to be overly trusting. Before you buy from anyone, check the company out. Call the better business bureau or check online to verify that the company is legit and has a good history of satisfied customers.
