We are working on a furniture site to compliment this site, which should be ready by July, 2003. We have this short chapter here to get you started in the meantime. We added this in response to many visitors who wanted tips on furniture buying, and also to answer all the whining car salespeople who email me and moan "how come you never talk about furniture stores with their high markups, why do you pick on us poor car salespeople?" Well, by popular request, here you have it.
Never will you find such advertising deceit, trickery, Jedi mind tricks, and outright lies by uninformed salespeople. Or, one of my favorite lines from Star Wars: "You'll never find a more retched hive of scum and villainy". Now don't get me wrong, many furniture stores are honest, and fairly priced, but many are not, and have "customer service" that is far below their boasted levels. Even worse, the epidemic of misleading ads has gotten way out of hand. This is one industry that needs federal policing. The whole MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) pricing game on furniture is such a joke. Manufacturers set these meaningless over inflated MSRP prices so that when stores actually sell the furniture at their normal "everyday" prices, they can claim they are giving you a huge discount, especially with 50% off sales.

Today with the internet, and armed with a couple of good furniture buying books, you can do all your shopping at home. We bought 2 excellent books to help us save hundreds of dollars. These books more than paid for themselves hundreds of times over, what a great investment. One of these books reviews the top furniture discounters in the Carolinas, as well as many online internet sites. That was a godsend that helped us to choose a reliable company to deliver our furniture at a price that made us happy, yet still provided them with a fair profit. The other book dealt with what to look for in quality furniture, that was most helpful. Without these 2 books, I can guarantee that we would have paid way too much, for substandard furniture. Thanks to this book, we were much better educated about quality of furniture, and knew which furniture to avoid. We may be smart shoppers, but we knew nothing about how wood furniture was made, nor did we know what type of furniture construction to avoid. That book saved us a lot of aggravation. You must get these 2 furniture books to save you the most amount of money. This is what we used: Full Report here
