I don't even know why I was in that store... I am pretty sure I was not old enough to be buying furniture.

That dude walked around everyday pulling flyers for events down in an impotent rage. We hung fake flyers once, in his sight, just to watch him march angrily out and tear them down. It was before the internet and we were bored.

Follow you around like you were about to discover their secret operation.

That place was absolute shit.

The store literally sent me kits to assemble my own furniture, despite nothing in the store indicating that. Then the delivery men tried to get me to pay them $600 to assemble the furniture for me. Needless to say it took an entire weekend but I assembled all my furniture myself.

prime real estate. I'm thinking car wash and a strip mall with cbd, title loan, and a cashew chicken place

I would frequent this bar, laundromat, thrift store, beauty supply bank, and not necessarily in that order.

No doubt that the slowdown in furniture sales lead to the decision to wind down the business vs selling it to someone else. However, the owner is 70 so it makes perfect sense that he wanted to retire.

Yeah old people are weak as hell so retiring helps them stay afloat pun intended

They sold to a liquidation company who took over payroll. I'm already gone and been gone since Jan 1st.

Didn't even try to find one. We got told the week before Thanksgiving

I know right?! Also, don’t be fooled by their liquidation prices!! I went in there to check on a kitchen table set and while it was discounted to a display only price, it was the SAME price it was normally. Don’t be fooled by the markdowns.

Also, everything seems to have a "Last one" tag on it. Meanwhile there are 4 identical items on the floor next to it, none of which have a "sold" tag..

We bought their “custom” couches over a year ago with 4 kids and 2 asshole dogs. They’ve held up absolutely fantastic.

Guess our warranty is over though 😔

Their prices are not liquidation prices…. There were only 4 Dining table that caught my eye.. but they were still selling for $1200, $1346, $1499 and $1549… the problem is I wouldn’t pay over $800+ for any of those tables.

The salesman kept trying to get me to haggle and engage with him.. and even randomly lowered a price on a table set “based on inventory stock” without me even requesting it

Definitely not coming back.. very sketch

I would bet more cheap furniture stores to close because of online places like wayfair, but more expensive ones staying.

bibiane t1_j8jme86 wrote

It was so expensive though! And for what seemed to be very mid-tier furniture
