rodie - two years ago we shopped @ babbette's and got a discount - which was then cancelled out by the delivery fee we were charged! but the store does have lovely merchandise - if you like dark furniture.

we purchased our living room furniture and bedroom mattress/box spring from kent's furniture http://kentfurnitureinc.com/ north on 441/27 in summerfield - maybe a 20 minute ride from the villages. they offer a vast number of collections and some of the same lines that are offerred by southern lifestyles.

i believe that when it comes to prices, southern lifestyles will meet any competitor's. we purchased our dinette set from there and could not be happier. and then we purchased a couple of pieces for the lanai at showcase direct.
