Went to City Furniture today as I had been looking to purchase a server for our dining room. Had researched on line and found a price of $449.99 at City Furniture and same server at Badcocks for $399.95. Went first to Badcocks as it was closer to our home. They did not have in stock but would order for us. Told them we would think about it and get back to them. City Furniture states that they had it in stock at Spanish Spring store and we're giving 10% discount for Memorial Day weekend on non-sale items. When to City Furniture. Sales man states there is no discount. Told him Badcocks had same thing for $399 instead of $449. He asked manager and would give discount. Told him we wanted it and would like to pick it up ourselves. He said you can't do that, it must be delivered for $59.99. They had the servers there. Would not sell it to us unless we had it delivered. Left store and went back to Badcock's. Ordered the server for $399.95 and was told they were giving us 10% for Memorial Day weekend sale. Total cost with tax $385! We can pick it up on Wednesday. City Furniture lost a $449 sale that they really did not care about.

You really need to do a search here for "City Furniture." Had you done so, I doubt you would have gone there, even to save some $$. I think you dodged a bullet.

They were a sleazy operation in South Florida, & they haven't changed after coming here.

The loss of Southern Lifestyles at Lake Sumter Landing--next to Panera--has left a huge deficit in shopping/retail there.
I wonder why TV management does not see this, especially with the constant complaints here, of City Furniture being sleazy.
Babettes and Family Furniture in Leesburg are far better quality and selection, and so is White's in Summerfield. I wish Babettes would open a store right on the square at Lake Sumter.

I think I can guarantee you, The Developers contract with City Furniture would never allow that!!

Two of the most criminal places in the villages, and even with all the bad reviews here and elsewhere, they will still be in business for years to come. To many new individuals to come in and take the place of the ones who got fleeced.

For those of us fortunate enough to have used The Southern Lifestyles when it was owned by the Developer, we were spoiled by good quality furniture, superb service and fair prices.
When the build-out of The Villages was in sight, the Developer began to sell off businesses that no longer were needed to support a major home development business. The Southern Lifestyles was put up for sale. It was a reasonable business decision by the Morse family.
When it was announced that City Furniture would be the new owner-operator, I had serious doubts. Not too much research revealed that the owner of City Furniture was the owner of a large chain of "low end" waterbed stores in south Florida with a pretty sleazy reputation. Their main marketing pitch was the sale of waterbeds with multiple-year "no payment" financing. And they too had expensive delivery policies. More research showed that City Furniture here in The Villages would not carry any name-brand furniture, only furniture carrying their own brands which they have manufactured for them. At the time this was beginning to look bad.
Since then we've found the decidedly user-unfriendly and costly delivery policy and worse, the loss of all the old, reliable and knowledgeable sales staff from Southern Lifestyles. The new "City people" were for the most part the "book the sale" types, probably working for a commission.
We had one really bad experience with City Furniture shortly after they re-opened their stores and have never returned. There are several furniture retailers just outside "the campus" who continue to sell quality, name brand furniture and provide excellent sales and service--Babette's, White Furniture and several more in Ocala.
Experiences like yours, documented here on TOTV and among friends and acquaintances far, far outnumber any positive, complimentary reports. Draw your own conclusions. But caveat emptor certainly seems to apply with regard to City Furniture.

I've had items delivered to both the Spanish Springs and Lake Sumter City Furniture stores for free pickup. However, some sales people at Spanish Springs will tell you that it has to be delivered to your home. They need to be more consistent in the way they deal with customers. Although, I have been satisfied with City Furniture.

We received a 10% discount coupon from our Villages agent when we signed our construction contract. We did a lot of research on line and narrowed our shopping destinations to Whites, Kent, and a couple others in Ocala.
For grins, my wife went on City's website and saw a couple dining room pieces that actually looked nice. We stopped in at the Spanish Springs store to see and were shocked at how dingy and flimsy the chairs and table were.
We ended up ordering everything for our new home between Whites and Kent. Quality pieces for a little more than City, maybe 30% more. You get what you pay for and we got what we wanted. I will never shop at City. Ever.

I actually spoke to the corporate office yesterday as it was really bothering me that the sales person did not care if he sold any furniture or not. I explained my problem to her and asked if the salespeople were paid on commission. The reason I asked that question is that my Dad was a furniture sales person and worked on 100% commission. There were some weeks when he did not get paid but then there were other weeks that made up for it. He was very caring to his customers and they became repeat customers. I also advised corporate that I am well aware that they provide the packages to the new homes in The Villages and gives 10% coupon to whomever buys a home. I would not want these people to feel obligated to buy and feel frustrated like me. I asked this person in corporate if they ever heard of talk of the villages. They said no. I advised her that there are very negative comments about their store. I truly think if The Villages realized this, they would look elsewhere for a furniture contractor. She thanked me for being candid with her and said she would take a look.

That's right. Not only does City Furniture sell low quality merchandise and service, but they junk up the prime retail space of the town square at Lake Sumter Landing.
The town squares are one of the biggest attractions here, as they finally give us a true downtown to which we can go for shopping, dining, and nightly entertainment.
The street going in toward the square from Morse is about 90% offices now. BIG, BIG mistake!!!!
Morse Family, are you reading here??
I hope so!

08-01-2016, 09:23 PM
We have bought a tremendous amount of furniture in our lives. We had one problem with J.C. Penney on a bedroom set. It took them months to finally resolve the problem to our satisfaction. TOTV is a wonderful place to compile information on so many things and is usually very accurate when you meld the information provided. That being said after exhaustively searching for a close match to our living room set eureka, City Furniture had the perfect dining room table, chairs and hutch. The salesman was a professional in all regards and was prepared to defend his store against bad past practices. Maybe not defend but explain why my experience will be different. The furniture will be delivered this Wednesday. We are aware that we are not buying from Thomasville. We also know that any furniture or appliance that shows up damaged does not enter the house...not a chance, no way Jose, no promises of repair, no adjustment on the price. I will get back to you all to let you know if things have changed. I'm rooting for a happy, uneventful delivery, we shall see.
If I'm wrong and this goes bad I guess I should have listened. Such a Rebel!

Obviously,this is a well kept secret. Southern Lifestyles still maintains a warehouse and sells to the public. I have purchased pieces from them recently and they still furnish homes for TV models. They do not want you to call them but prefer they take your number and call you to set up an appointment. Crazy but I love their furniture and still great service 🤗

Went to City Furniture today as I had been looking to purchase a server for our dining room. Had researched on line and found a price of $449.99 at City Furniture and same server at Badcocks for $399.95. Went first to Badcocks as it was closer to our home. They did not have in stock but would order for us. Told them we would think about it and get back to them. City Furniture states that they had it in stock at Spanish Spring store and we're giving 10% discount for Memorial Day weekend on non-sale items. When to City Furniture. Sales man states there is no discount. Told him Badcocks had same thing for $399 instead of $449. He asked manager and would give discount. Told him we wanted it and would like to pick it up ourselves. He said you can't do that, it must be delivered for $59.99. They had the servers there. Would not sell it to us unless we had it delivered. Left store and went back to Badcock's. Ordered the server for $399.95 and was told they were giving us 10% for Memorial Day weekend sale. Total cost with tax $385! We can pick it up on Wednesday. City Furniture lost a $449 sale that they really did not care about.
Hi we have had only one deal with City Furniture and never again, they lied to us, they have poor quality and cover it up, blemishes, they are terrible on delivery, they say they have it but after all the dust settles, they do not have it, it is in Ft Lauderdale and deliveries from there are so so. Awful attitude and never again will we deal with them, NO. bbbbbb :cry:

Cannot define it all,,,,,,,,,, City Furniture is a big pain in the neck. Poor quality, blemishes, scratches, they lie about free delivery and the delivery is a big bunch of problems. They imply they deliver, they do not they had an independent totally unreliable group tie us up for three days to get one item. Never again.
Thanks for the comments on Lifestyle, will use them instead. Never for City Furnishings. bbbbbb

We have been hawking this fantastic place called Bargains & Treasures that Mrs. Graciegirl told us about. The selection is vast but this purchase had to be a very close match. Our salesman did not over promise anything and I know I'm taking a calculated risk because of those who went before me. All furniture stores have these same problems. All furniture stores do not have a common forum where their customers may share their tales of WHOA. It's a dining room set not the Nuclear Football!

While we found Southern Lifestyle's quality to be fairly decent on most things, their prices were outrageous if you actually shopped around for comparable items.
I'm guessing that smart people, who balked at the high prices....is what finally made the developer have to close it.

Not from what I hear. Nothing more than overpriced furniture of limited quality that was marketed with discounts to new home buyers by the benevolent developer.
Most sharp people know enough to never let your primary seller co-market other goods with their main business.

Sir. I lived here when Southern Lifestyles was open and I am paying attention enough to know that you did not live here when they were open. I know your brother did, but there are many other experienced opinions too..
I am somewhat an experienced shopper and have furnished a number of homes over time. PLUS I am known in my family as frugal, some call me tight.
When we first moved here we went in and looked around and I thought that they had a lot of high end stuff and was kind of turned off as we were furnishing a second home and I wanted reasonable but good.
But I read this Forum where folks were saying that they had more reasonable lines (This was before they opened the second store that showed less expensive furniture). So we took the style numbers and price of the Broyhill bedroom furniture that we wanted and they gave us a better price and offered a loaner until the set came in. (We didn't take them up on the loaner, but it was nice of them to offer) We then purchased several things from them and found them reasonable and helpful too. They had availability of all lines known to me from Bassett, through Thomasville and Drexel Heritage and Tommy Bahama and Lexington and I cannot think of the name of our dining room table but it is very nice. They had every line of furniture known to me available if not on site.
I was extremely satisfied with Southern Lifestyles as were many who shopped there. (Who aren't dummies)

Im glad your experience with that was a good one. Perhaps as an original settler in the Villages fighting off alligators and such you were just happy to be down here in paradise.
I suspect a lot of people who are from other sharper parts of the country just didn't approve of their quality and service.
Maybe the younger newer Villages are more discriminating.
Who knows?...but you were happy so that's all that matters.
I am a younger villager and live in a newer village south of 466a. As a discriminating consumer, I bought very nice Flexsteel and American Drew furniture from Southern Lifestyles. I agree with Gracie Girl. Their service and products were very good. I miss the old Southern Lifestyle store and their friendly knowledgeable design staff. Back on subject, I bought a large mirror from City Furniture from a very nice sales person with no problem. They ordered it and we picked it up. I will say I am not fond of the more modern style of furniture they sell and therefore not my first choice if I need additional furniture. Having moved here from up north 4 years ago and now living in paradise, I prefer a lighter more tropical/traditional style.

I'm another one that's more than happy with the Southern Lifestyles furniture we bought just before they closed.
Of course, I had to give up an afternoon of whittlin' and banjo playin' to mosey on over to the store...
I even put on some shoes to go there... just like those slick big city folks do.

Loved them. The furniture quality was exceeded only by their customer service.
The morning of our closing they delivered and set up furniture and backed out of our home with a vacuum cleaner! Who does that?
When we came back from closing, all we needed to do was put the bed linens on! They were wonderful.
Glad we got a chance to experience them.

Can someone please explain (moderator?) why active threads disappear seemingly indiscriminately?
For example, I posted on this thread less than 2 hours ago, got back on, and thread is gone! I had to resurrect it thru search.
This happens all the time.
What is the criteria for a thread to fall off when others stay on?
I'm not talking about threads that are mean spirited, political or controversial.
Why bother to post at all?
I'm not being sarcastic. Just would like to know how the policy works. Please don't drop this thread until someone in the know responds. Thanks.

When you come back, are you selecting New Posts? If you are, I think it only shows new posts since your last visit. If there have been no new posts on a particular thread, it won't show up. That's why I select Today's Posts from the Quick Links menu. It will show all current threads whether they have new posts or not.
If that's not what you're doing, I'm not sure why the thread is disappearing on you.

When you find someone selling preowned furniture from southern lifestyle it doesn't last long before it's sold . City furniture not so much. Although bought our dining room table and buffet from city. We have used the same sales person since they opened. All three times furniture delivered, the guys were polite, looked over the items with us, then we spoke to their boss to verify the item were perfect. Guess it's who you deal with.

I just purchased again from Bargains and Treasures, this time it was a tall narrow hutch in which to display my mother's wedding China. I've had time to look everywhere and compare vendors, BTW, Graciegirl, did the maid deliver your sweetie's libation to his bedside?

When you find someone selling preowned furniture from southern lifestyle it doesn't last long before it's sold . City furniture not so much. Although bought our dining room table and buffet from city. We have used the same sales person since they opened. All three times furniture delivered, the guys were polite, looked over the items with us, then we spoke to their boss to verify the item were perfect. Guess it's who you deal with.
We received a call at 6.30 pm yesterday as promised. Our delivery window is between 1 & 4 pm today. Without having to say anything the delivery coordinator let me know that our concerns about used or damaged furniture had been transferred to him so he could personally make sure things go smoothly. I want my TOTV diploma back RickeyD, :1rotfl: stay tuned. So far so good.

Our first two houses had southern lifestyle furniture. Miss them. How do you get in touch with them to get on the list to be called?

OK Father Rickey time to restore the Diploma. They delivered the entire order correctly, early and cleaned up after themselves and we are happier than two clam's at high tide. I know this kind of store could let you in for some foolishness but you have to control them from jump street. Each person during the process knows clearly no second chance. The very professional driver dropped a chair and told me he damaged it and would be back with a new one in a half hour. A forgivable mistake. He snagged one from the floor in the Spanish Spring Store and all is well. I heard those before me with problems and appreciate their input. Things happen when furniture is ordered.
