Going to furnish an empty, recently purchased house. Would like to not break the bank furnishing it. Have heard of a couple of consignment stores near The Villages. Any thoughts, experiences making purchases there. Good prices? Good inventory? Delivery?

Bargains and Treasures in Oxford near Rt 466 is a good place. Some people like Almost Perfect, but I think it is overpriced.

It is but they negotiate.

It is but they negotiate.

Have heard that Carriage House in Ocala has good used furniture. However, some new furniture is low priced so wouldn't rule that out entirely. Babette's has a sister store next to the main store in Leesburg that sells attractive furniture at a lower price. Can't think of the name right now.

It is but they negotiate.

We have purchased several items at Almost Perfect. Thought pricing was rather good but when I did try to negotiate they had no interest in doing so.

As a matter of fact a lot of what they offer is new.

It is hit or miss depending on their daily changing inventory, but we got some great deals from Almost Perfect Furniture. They have a couple of very large warehouses full of stuff, and the prices are very reasonable. Fortunately, we own a pick-up truck so we did not have to pay any type of delivery fee. If you are looking for everything to match, forget about it. But if you want some great deals, check them out. Our dinning table and chairs are a Broyhill set that you could not tell was not brand new, and we paid about 1/4 or the price if we bought it new. It is one of the nicest pieces of furniture we own in both our Villages and Northern Home. We also got a very nice coffee table, an entertainment center type set-up for our TV, and some end tables. Good luck furnishing your new home. Our advice would be, don't be in a big hurry to furnish everything right away. If you take your time you will find some great deals and save lots of $$. Before you know it, you will have more stuff in your home than you know what to do with. Go slow and enjoy : )

Bargains & Blessings 301 N. Main Street (US 301) in Wildwood. Good Inventory, fairly priced, has delivery and all proceeds go back into helping those less fortunate.

Almost Perfect is over priced and the place smells musty

I went through all of their warehouses three weeks ago, and nothing smelled AT ALL musty. I bought a beautiful new chair and ottoman and two lovely wrought-iron lamps for $40 each. Naturally, new pieces may sell for more than old pieces, and the more perfect sell for more than the almost perfect, but there are always good buys. It’s not a junk store. It’s not furniture picked up from beside the road or left behind by renters in mobile homes. They only sell good stuff. I’ve also been to the Treasures store a couple times and also found some very good deals. I like both stores.

We just did the same thing and did not find anything used that we liked except some bedside tables and a few decorating items. Furniture was old and “northern” looking.

Carriage Trade is one of my favorite, and they will negotiate with owners of consignment pieces if the piece has been in the store for at least 30 days.

What are you looking for? My friend is selling all furniture in her home now as she is selling her house. Reeling sofa, queen bedroom set, computer desk, bar stools and more. I am selling my house in the spring and have lots of things to sell also. Let me know if you are interested. Be safe

Furniture barn in Leesburg carries high end like Ethan Allen and is good and Bargains and Treasures near Walmart on 466 is also good. There are a few smaller places that you can sometimes pick up some also like Our Mother’s Attic and 3 more smaller places near there. Kent furniture in Belleview sells only new but is quite reasonable . Got a new couch and hand painted tv stand ( only paid $100) and people comment on it all the time. I paid so much less for this couch than I did for my living room couch and it is very comfortable . Has a back room to buy reduced furniture too

I used Almost Perfect 8n july 2019 to part furnish our villa. Great selection, I was happy with the prices I paid & they deliver. Staff were very helpful. Have also bought a few decorative bits from Bargains & Treasures. Also Furniture Barn in Fruitland Park.

We have purchased furniture from Bargains and Treasures in Oxford, great, we also put furniture in consignment with them, they are honest and great, yes some of the other stores are too high, close to the cost of new. There is a store on 441close to Del Webb Spruce Creek Country Club called Payne’s furniture, they deal with Florida furniture makers and will get you fixed up at a great price all brand new, for bedding I highly recommend the Markets of Marion, I got a quality King and Queen Bed there for less than a Queen set at a local store, see either Mike or Scott there tell them that Pedro sent you. If you are looking for an electric recliner Badcocks in Belleview, that is where I found mine for 1/2 the cost of other recliners. Happy Thanksgiving and HAPPY HUNTING!!!!!!!

We did the same thing 2 years ago. Bargains and Treasures seems to be the best. Not sure about delivery as we always moved our own. You .ay also want to check out Big Lots. They actually have some very serviceable furniture at reasonable prices.

I think the “Next Door” website is a great place to buy and sell used furniture. Many people come to the Villages with too much “stuff”. I have heard that people who can’t sell their furniture on their own by using Next Door, use consignment shops as a last resort.

Bargains and Treasures in Oxford near Rt 466 is a good place. Some people like Almost Perfect, but I think it is overpriced.

We found Almost Perfect pricing to be almost like new furniture pricing. We have purchased many items from Bargains and Treasures. We really lucked out when furnishing our villa 2 years ago. We found a power/recliner love seat, end tables, coffee tables and quite a few other items at great prices. The recliner love seat was such a bargain I sat on it while my wife went to find a sales clerk and said we want this one. We go back there from time to time but have not had the kind of luck we did first time around. We've also a couple of pieces of furniture thru them and were happy the price they got for us.

There are three thrift stores in Wildwood that offer furniture for sale at very reasonable prices and proceeds go to help the less fortunate. Two are run by Church groups and one by a veterans group. Bargains and blessings and Our mother's attic are on route 301 in Wildwood then Restoring Hope is on route 44 just off 301. All three will deliver for a price and have furniture and lamps kitchen supplies etc. Next Door newsletter also sells many used furniture items but you would usually have to pick it up yourself as from individual residents. Good luck.

If you consider new we’ve had good luck and inexpensive prices at City Furniture in Lake Sumter Landing. They have several packages put together for many of the villages models. They are no pressure and will take the time to show you many options.

Both of my two eldest children moved from CT to The Villages this year and purchased quite a bit of new furniture. Both experienced exceptionally long delays in delivery of furniture, appliances and service providers for installations. Talk about that sort of thing with the vendor in advance so that you have realistic expectations beforehand - if you need anything new.

Centsible Furnishings on Hwy 441 about a mile north of Hwy 42. It's an upscale thrift store with reasonable prices. All inventory is from donations so it's different each time you go. If you hit it just right you may find something unique that you just have to have. A favorite for many and you will find the front parking lot is usually full. All proceeds go to their charity to help needy families in our tri county area.

vitacr
11-26-2020, 07:29 PM
Suggest Centsible Furnishings on 441, 1 mi north of 42 and Baptist Thrift Store on 441 in Leesburg. Great prices. FYI - Centisible is a concerted effort of over 30 churches in our area & all proceeds from the donated items are given back to the Lake, Sumter & Marion county needy.

It has no scratches whatsoever on it and looks brand new. I’m selling it for only $400 OBO. If interested, call me at 210-542-1634

Centsible Furnishings (Love inc) is a church affiliated store that sells good furniture at good prices. Surprised noone has mentioned them. They are located on 27/441 just north of 42 about a mile or so. Worth going to look and if you don't see what you want talk to the store manager. They've got a warehouse full that they'll negotiate on

Go to estate sales, usually the last day they discount everything, and furniture seems to sell the slowest, so there are some really good deals on very nice furniture, especially in the more exclusive neighborhoods.
