our experience 2 yrs ago:
babette's lured us to their store with an offer of 15% discount - then charged us a 10% delivery fee to the villages!

showcase direct had many of the same manufacturers as stores between ocala and leesburg; uses secret shoppers to scope out the prices charged by the competition; will meet any price offered by the competition; and great delivery people and care for furniture delivered!

kent furniture Home - KENT FURNITURE INC delivered our bed next day so we had it to sleep on the nite we closed on the house! then went back and bought living room furniture that we could not find elsewhere! great to deal with and they remembered us whenever we went back there!

we hit each of the pre-owned furniture stores but never found a style we cared for nor a sufficient amount of furniture to give us a somewhat coordinated effect that we wanted. have found that it is okay for an occasional piece or two. we love bargains and treasures for price but neerlynew for quailty. we have just gotten around to exploring the wildwood area and will check out the pre-owned furinture stores there when we get back.

btw - if ya head over to wildwood, don't forget to check out the russell stover candy outlet! rt 44 - go across rt 301 - and go straight to the store where you make a left into their parking area! no pre-owned stuff there!
