Babbette's in Leesburg. GREAT selection, very nice showroom, reasonable prices, honest and low key sales people. And they stand behind their products.

Late March 2013 I bought a Lane chair and ottomon. (they matched a Macy's online price) Early March 2014 wife decided she wanted a new chair for herself, so we were in Babbet's just looking, using same sales person. Kathy V. I sat in the floor model of my chair, and noticed how much firmer the seat cushion was, and mentioned this to the sales person. I guess the foam compressed over the year. She made a comment something like, well, that does happen, but let me ask what we can do, leavng me with the feeling that I shouldn't expect them to do anything.

Wife wasn't sure what she wanted, so we left. Next day I get a call from the sales gal saying they would take back the chair with a 10% restocking charge and I could use that money to buy anything else in the store. This at 11.5 months after purchase.

We ended up buying 2 lay z boy recliners.

If nothing else, the showroom is very nicely appointed and very enjoyable to wander through.
