Tips for Planning Furniture Purchases
Most of us have made unwise furniture purchases that a bit of planning would have prevented. Before shopping, evaluate your budget, how you’ll use the furniture, how it fits in with your other furniture and tastes, and other considerations.
Where to Buy Furniture
Although buying furniture should be a straightforward purchase, Checkbook receives an inordinate number of complaints—and poor ratings—from customers of many stores. Fortunately, some furniture stores make shopping easy.
How to Get the Best Deal on Furniture
Comparing furniture prices is extraordinarily difficult. Many products are sold exclusively by a single chain, sale prices can’t be trusted to be low prices, and many stores don’t list prices on the Web. Here are some tips on finding the best deals.
How to Assess Furniture Quality
By choosing a store that is rated high for advice, you improve your chances of getting honest assessments of the quality and durability of furniture pieces from store personnel. But it helps if you know enough to make some assessments of your own.
Should You Buy Furniture Online or Via Catalog?
The only compelling reason to buy via the web is price. But local retailers quoted our shoppers prices roughly equivalent to—and often below—prices on the web when delivery costs were added.
Working with an Interior Designer
If the job of decorating your home seems too big for your available time, know-how, or talent; if you want the benefit of someone else’s ideas; or if you want access to items not available to the public; consider using an interior designer.
