I googled Southern Lifestyle Furniture they were only in TV. This must be part of a much larger furniture company. It all boils down to costs. Retail space is very expensive and furniture takes up a lot of space. I have roamed SLF many times and there were very few people in there. Their furniture is of very good quality but who in TV needs it to last 30 yrs. Fabrics get dated and THEY DO NOT COME WITH ARM COVERS. Just go to the consignment shops and see used, good quality furniture but DATED fabric and dirty, worn, arms. Needs slipcovers or to be upholstered. Most of the people going into SLF are getting ideas, picking the minds of the salespeople and then going elsewhere to purchase. They obviously can't stay in business when this happens.
