We got a very nice piece recently from Almost Perfect Furniture also. It turns out this was a solid Cherry piece, and outside of a few very minor scratches the piece is very nice. They have 3 showrooms, I only went through 1 and was amazed at the selection.

There are a lot of Estate Sales here (Duh). You can find some really nice stuff pretty cheap

Be very careful when buying from City, and even Babette’s. If you want a couch and loveseats, and one in stock the other can be delivered in 10 Don’t Do It.

Babette’s had sofa, but not 2 loveseats. Our friends chose to take the sofa delivery. 3 months later the loveseats came, not the 10 days as promised. Color was so far off it was hideous. Of course they refused to take sofa back, even though the house was empty the entire 3 months.

After back and forth for two more months they gave up, and sold the sofa, and at our recommendation went to Kent. Not only better deal for the same furniture but in stock and not one problem

I am doing the exact same thing and also working with Nate at The Villages wholesale furniture:
+1-352-497-0177. Good prices.

Daughter recently furnished a brand new home here in 2 1/2 hours at Kent Furniture in Belleview. Nan worked with us and she was fabulous. Helpful but not in our faces. They had a terrific selection and we felt the prices were reasonable. Love that their furniture is made in the USA. Delivered to the new home a few days ago and it all looks so nice. Highly recommend.

Multiple people have found that city furniture has a no refund policy, only store credit. A neighbor ordered a couch that came in damaged after the 6 weeks of waiting. A second one came in stained. After the second attempt, city furniture said they could not get the couch and she had to come and pick something else. It is in the written contract you sign when ordering or purchasing.
My wife and I have bought furniture from Babette’s multiple times going back to 2005. Great service and quality products.

We had really good luck at Room to Go in Ocala. Great delivery and have had zero problems with anything in the 4 years we have had it.

Whichever store you chose you may want to check their customer reviews andr ask Seniors vs Crime if they have had any issues with them

We had a horrible experience with City Furniture. While the furniture looks nice, the quality stinks. The service, delivery, and "customer service" experience we had at the store and with corporate was even worse. I would never use them again, but if you decide to, make sure you read the very fine print on their warranty and extended warranties before you purchase. Also, search this forum for CF reviews. Good luck!

Babette's runs an outlet sale the first weekend of every month at their outlet location in Leesburg. Selections will obviously be limited, but what they do put in these sales will be deeply discounted.

Recommend Babettes in Leesburg; Family Furniture just down the road from Babettes; Rooms 2 Go in Ocala and Whites Furniture, Summerfield. I have purchased many items from the above stores and never had a problem. You might want to consider Havertys in the Southern Trace Shopping Center in TV; The Lazy Boy store in Ocala which is very pricey. I have not purchased anything from these stores so can’t comment. Good luck and have fun!

Very happy with Ethan Allen on Kristine way. Designer was very helpful and as a bigger guy I am not as concerned about the furniture surviving me

[Sandancer]

Another vote for Kent Furniture...All the furniture in my house is from Kent...Always had a great experience with them!

[Rheinl271]

Another vote for Blockers in Ocala. Family owned, great selection, great service and good prices.
