Furniture shopping in North Carolina

[Brian425 0]

Any one have any experience? I am looking to buy a complete living room and dining room. Is it worth it to buy in NC and ship to NYC? Anyplace to try or more important, any places to avoid?

I go to NC about 3 times a year to visit dad, so we will actually see before buying.

Thanks,
Brian

I live in WA state. I've purchased several times from Boyles Furniture in NC. I went out locally, found what I wanted and then ordered through Boyles. Many times they waive shipping costs and there are no sales taxes on out of state purchases. Except for the wait (8-12 weeks) everything is great about it. FYI - its not too unusual for some furniture to require a 6-8 week wait anyway.

Thanks Deb. I have no problem with the 8-12 week wait. I know most furniture is 6-8 weeks. I am more concerned with good service and good products. I'll add Boyles to the list to check out.

A dining room table my wife bought in Houston back in June wasn't delievered until October...in town or slightly out of town or elsewhere doesn't matter if the company is worthless. I think they had some guy in the back whittle our table out of a piece of wheat. Ok, not really, but it took much too long to be delievered.

Try Ethan Allen, they have a few stores in NC. After much looking around, it seems that we always end at Ethan Allen as they have a great selection, and good service (IMHO).
