She said the balance must be paid within 72 hours of closing. No problem. We got an email reminding us of that fact.

The day of closing we went to the main store in Leesburg and paid for the furnitue. We looked around at some furniture. I was surprised at how expensive some of the low quality furniture was.

Now my point. We tried to work our electric reclining loveseat and it won’t work. I called for service but they can’t get out here until after we have gone back up north. I asked if they had any suggestions of something to try or ideas what might be wrong. The bored unhelpful relied “not really”. I am just not impressed with Babettes at all. We won’t be buying anything else from them.
We bought our new home on January 6th last year. We went to Babette's the next day, where we were told that anything we bought could not be delivered for 3-4 months, I guess due to Covid, and that if any furniture store told us otherwise they would be lying.

We went to City Furniture the next day, spent $15,000, and 90% of it was delivered the day after closing, 31 days later.
