Now here's a topic with which we have lots of experience. I have dragged my husband all the way from Ocala to Leesburg, looking at furniture. Kent's Furniture in Belleview carries Lane upholstered goods. You can find that line on the web. They also carry Capri sofas and Carlton sofas which are made in Ocala. The prices are good and they dare to stock imaginative fabrics on their floor samples. There is no sales pressure and the customer service is good.

Showcase Direct is an offshoot of Southern Lifestyles. They have some furniture set up like Rooms to Go at good prices. They carry mainly Flexsteel, Broyhill, and Ashley lines. We just ordered an item from them today.

Babettes of Leesburg has given wonderful service. We've bought there three different times. The sales people are knowledgeable and very nice. Our first order was for bedroom furniture we had seen in a store 230 miles from here. Although they said it might take 8 weeks, we couldn't believe when it arrived in under three weeks. They carry some stylish furniture at very competitive prices. You'll find numerous brands there including Winners Only.

We visited Kanes in Ocala but we had to extricate ourselves away from the sales people. It was like shopping for a car. We won't return.

Good shopping!
