Recommendations on where to purchase furniture

[Igolf]

Moving in soon to our winter getaway. It is completely empty. Need some basic furniture (bedroom set, dining set, recliners) before being able to look for those gently used pieces. Need recommendations on where to shop. Thanks much

I purchased our indoor furniture at Babettes. They have a location in Brownwood and a larger store o 441. Lanai and birdcage furniture from Palm Casual.
I was very happy with selection and service at both stores.

[Igolf]

Thanks

[TimeForChange]

Family Furniture in Leesburg has the best quality and price, We have tried them all in the past eight years.

[Clydles1]

I believe the original post was looking for some good quality furniture from a “second hand” store. I could be mistaken . Here’s one place I have found and it seems pretty popular. Bargains and Treasures. I’m not sure if It’s considered Wildwood but across from Walmart, google it.

[Igolf]

Thanks

[Igolf]

Looking forward to exploring there!!!!

[Michread]

Kent Furniture has Capri sofas made in Ocala at a reasonable price for the quality. Ask Chris or Stephanie for a 10% discount. We just bought our living room and dining sets from them. No delivery charge.

We bought a Capri outdoor set from Blockers in Ocala. Kent Furniture doesn’t have outdoor furniture on the showroom otherwise we would have stuck with Kent. They have an $80 delivery charge and high restocking fees if you change your mind.

[Igolf]

Thanks much

[REDCART]

If you don’t mind driving 25 miles to Ocala, Hudson Furniture also had a very nice selection. It’s right next to Home Depot on College Rd in Ocala.

[tophcfa]

Almost Perfect used furniture is hit or miss based on current inventory but has some great deals. Avoid $hitty Furniture at all costs, whoops I meant City Furniture.

[njbchbum]

You can't go wrong shopping and purchasing from Kent Furniture up in Belleview! Their selection is great as is the pricing and their delivery people! We furnished BR, K and LR with them - wudda done the guest room but we bought from overpriced Babette's before we learned about Kent!

[raynan]

Very happy with Babbette's in Leesburg. They have a much bigger selection than in Brownwood.

[bowlingal]

Don't forget Badcock Furniture in Wildwood or Fruitland Park.

[Lgwilliams]

Almost Perfect has new and used furniture. They carry some of the same brands as Babettes. The advantage is you can take right off the floor. No six to eight week wait for your furniture!

[Northerner52]

Very happy with Baddock in Leesburg and for previously owned. Furniture Barn in Fruitland Park and in Ocala, Carriage Trade

[CarrieOn]

We just used city Furniture after everyone said not to..
My girlfriend just did so we went to look
Great prices nice selection
Not a problem

[NYCAROL]

Almost Perfect on 441 and Bargains and Treasures on 466 are the best for used furniture. Also there is another place called Nearly New. I bought from Babbetts. And was not happy with the quality of the material and I bought furniture protection and they didn't honor it.

[Susan1234]

The furniture barn just picked up a beautiful like new dining set from my sisters house yesterday....

Google consignment shops in the area.

[dewilson58]

Very happy with Babbette's in Leesburg. They have a much bigger selection than in Brownwood.


This place is the best.


Also, they have two stores in Leesburg.......side by side.
Two different price-points.

Bargains and Treasures in located in Oxford.

I think the place smells. :ho:

I have found that Bargains and Treasures has way better prices than Almost Perfect. And, I thought that Nearly New went out of business more than a year ago.

[J1ceasar]

Baptist thrift in Leesburg. Or for used go look here. Or next door.com

[retiredguy123]

I think the place smells. :ho:
It's filled with people's old furniture. What do you expect?

[cleosmum]

Carriage Trade in Ocala has very nice, high quality gently used furniture. Have fun shopping!

[KristineTVFL]

Look at the classifieds here. Don’t recommend City Furniture.

[Karenlebrun]

I have a new sleeper sofa for 300 or bo

[CoachKandSportsguy]

For our house, brand new, we used a combination of Babettes, City Furniture, Family furniture, Wayfair and Palm Casual. We were looking for very specific pieces, combination of transitional and modern / contemporary with the focus on the trade off between the long term usage life versus cost.

Bedroom higher priced, longer term useful life versus other rooms.

Good luck, its fun but frustrating with time limits and delivery issues, both UPS and otherwise

[jocahollis]

I ordered an entertainment center from Babettes the middle of August when I first arrived here with no furniture. I thought it would be so easy to buy new furniture. Well, the last I heard my furniture was on a containment ship in the middle of the ocean. So I went to City Furniture and purchased a reclining love seat...then bought la-Z-boy recliner, 2 end tables, and dining room set from Whites which was delivered the next week. Last week I went to Blockers and got 2 night stands and a very unique desk. It has taken me 2 months and over $10,000 to furnish my home. But you do have to shop around.

[Ithreeputtoo]

I have some Thomasville dining furniture, cocktail table, kitchen table with glass top and 4 chairs that is rattan and a large bedroom armoire. All is excellent condition. Also have some lanai furniture. I will be taking photo's of all this today.

Moving in soon to our winter getaway. It is completely empty. Need some basic furniture (bedroom set, dining set, recliners) before being able to look for those gently used pieces. Need recommendations on where to shop. Thanks much Had a new neighbor move in recently, order a lot of stuff from Wayfair, free delivery. one way to get the many things you might need.:ho:

[virtualcynthia]

Nextdoor, the neighborhood conversation thread. I saw two nice dining room sets “free”. Many low cost items.

[Cruisy]

We furnished from several sources...Babette's is wonderful for new. Carriage Trade (high quality Consignment)in Ocala was great for desk and extra dressers...And Costco recliner set terrific.

[Grill Meister]

Bargains and Blessing, Wildwood. Sponsored by New Covenant United Methodist and all profits go to various ministries within our area.

[WelchNH]

I've lived in TV for 3 years: had good luck with Furniture Barn Consignment in Fruitland Park. Good quality furniture and they will deliver for a small charge.

We were in the same position as you are last year at this time. We wandered into Kane's furniture in Ocala just to look around and 4 hours later had our house completely furnished. Lol At the time they were offering a credit card with free interest for a year which was a very nice option and our sales person was excellent.

Their delivery service people work directly for Kanes... no outsourcing. They are very very careful bringing furniture into your home because from what I understand if they break it they have to pay for it personally. We are very happy with their products and their customer service.

Good luck!

[Rsenholzi]

If you want new go down to Altamonte Spring ( about an hour away ) they have every furniture store to could want on one strip. Rte 200 in Ocala is a good place to go also but not as many . If you don’t mind used, Bargains and Treasures and Furniture Barn ( in Leesburg ) are good places to go. They usually get people’s furniture who rented and now moved down permanently and want new for themselves. Furniture Barn usually only carries high end like Ethan Allen And Thomasville. Good luck!

[Ipecoraro]

Almost Perfect is the place to go on 441N. Quite a variety to choose from.

[polirudb]

Almost Perfect used furniture is hit or miss based on current inventory but has some great deals. Avoid $hitty Furniture at all costs, whoops I meant City Furniture.

I agree. Avoid City Furniture. We had several terrible experiences with them. Their customer service is the worst, and the quality of furniture and delivery leaves a lot to be desired.

[Villagesgal]

Our Mothers Attic, church run resale shop with beautiful furnishings and homegoods from Villagers at amazing prices. They deliver and set up. They fund local charities, all who work there are volunteers. Check them out, you'll be glad you did.

[dewilson58]

it's what i expected


good place for a COVID test

[FromNY]

Rooms to go has some great buys and decent quality. You can also Google furniture stores in Area. Ocala.Leesburg. etc. Almost all have extensive web sites. Get your basics and have fun exploring Consignment as well as Estate sales. Welcome to The Villages.

[Kittycat522]

Locally on 441 is Whites. They sell Lazy Boy which I like. Also in Ocala is Kanes got all my bedroom sets there. Avoid City Furniture.

[La lamy]

Kijiji. Craigslist.

[ProfessorDave]

We had the same circumstance.
Found "NATE" - who works out of a warehouse.
Most of his furniture is from the same sources as ASHLEY.
We picked out what we wanted - knowing it was ASHLEY quality.
He ordered it - brought it to our home - set it up.
And - we saved over 35% vs. ASHLEY prices when they are on sale.
Saved literally - thousands!

Phone: 352-497-0177

Good luck!
Dave

[thegfrerers@comcast.net]

Agree. Family Furniture

[Jcreason]

When we purchased our home, we basically had eight days to purchase all the furniture. We went to bargains and treasures and we were thrilled with what we found there. We found furniture that must’ve been from liquidation or model homes that was brand new with the tags still on it for a fraction of the cost that we would’ve paid new. The secret is to go around the same time every day because they are constantly unloading the truck and you need to be there to find the really great items before anybody else gets them.We also were very happy with furniture that we found in a furniture store on the way to Leesburg. We got our bedroom sets there. They were fabulous with us unfortunately I can’t remember the name but there’s a string of furniture stores on the way to Leesburg on the left-hand side of the highway and all of them offered something nice at reasonable prices. But I still stop in bargains and treasures frequently. You just never know what a wonderful thing you’re going to find.

Concur on both.

[AnnieDotz]

Same with us! It was an empty house. We have quite a few pieces from Kent furniture. It is our “go to” store. We bought a few pieces from Babette and one piece from Kane furniture. When we first moved here we bought from City Furniture. The pieces did not hold up (except for one small recliner and two end tables.). Kent also has some cute “Floridian” furniture. We have not been disappointed. Welcome, and have fun shopping!

[lstevenson1470]

We just moved in too, and had furniture we needed. We bought from estate sales (estatesales.org), individuals selling pieces (marketplace on Facebook), and Almost Perfect on Rt 27/441 north of The Villages (an enormous inventory in three buildings).

[tophcfa]

We just used city Furniture after everyone said not to..
My girlfriend just did so we went to look
Great prices nice selection
Not a problem

Just wait, the delivery will be a disaster and not on time, the set up will be done incorrectly, the furniture will subsequently fail (break), and then you will finally give up and go somewhere else to get good furniture after wasting hours trying to deal with the worst customer service experience of your lifetime. There is a reason I refer to them as $hitty Furniture.

[vr3nav]

I have complete sets of furniture for sale for LR, DR, Mstr BR & Lanai for in a Villa I just sold. It must be removed by next Mon. You can see furniture on Zillow at 1661 Summerchase Loop, TV. Call me at 678-873-6219 if you have questions. Dave...

[rphil11ort]

almost perfect is a great resource

[bobnyce]

Almost Perfect is far from it. Sold us brand new Ashley Couch, loveseat and “leather,” chair then stamped all receipts “as is”. Ashley refused to honor warranty claiming we bought used. But it was brand new - check your receipt for anything new at Almost Perfect - cannot be trusted. Used was ok but not new!

I was interested in the free design program. I don't know if I have the skill to furnish a whole house from scratch.

[renpan]

We went to City Furniture high priced and terrible delivery service which is pricy. Went to Almost Perfect was surprised how much new furniture they had great prices.

Stay away from city furniture Babette’s. Kent Ashley furniture online is great ! Go north away from the villages ! Message for all large purchases is farther away good values

Wayfair and overstock are good for online

[sallyt]

We are moving to the Villages soon and have a reclining lazy boy sofa, 2 wing chairs and dining table with 4 chairs. If interested in pictures Message me at 352-973-1720

We used Babettes at the location on 441 but did purchase a bedroom set from City Furniture.

Small round antique table with 4 chairs for sale .. will send picture...3214382181

[kayak]

Centsible Furnishings on highway 441 on the right about a mile north of 42 (you will pass it on the way to Almost Perfect Furniture). It's a thrift store that is designated as upscale. The selections change as donations come in and if you hit it just right you may find one of those unique treasures that you just have to have. The store's profits go to support their charity that helps needy families in the area. It's a nice store and a great organization that does a lot of good. It's a favorite of many and the parking lot is often full. Check it out.

[LianneMigiano]

My son purchased a dining room, living room, bedroom and laundry room pieces on or around mid JUL. The dryer came 8/10. The washer came 9/27. The dining room set came at the end of JUL. The TV came within days of purchase. The window coverings came in mid SEP. The living room set (including the entertainment center to hold the TV that had been sitting on the floor) came at the beginning of OCT along with the new mattress and pillows. The bed frame and end tables to go with it are not coming until NOV 20th. My daughter (who moved here in MAR) had the same experiences....BEWARE

[butch69]

The quality is also the worth the price. Much better than City Furniture.

[DAIII]

If you buy anything from city furniture, get the extended warranty. the furniture is that far deeply built in chyna that without it, it's garbage when it breaks. Now - most people won't buy extended for furniture?? (neither did I) until 3 months in the color started to come off on the couch (no I don't wear blue jeans) - and without the ext warranty it's mnfg 1 year in which they send parts and someone rebuilds the couch in your living room. NO THANKS- I donated it as junk.

[HappyRetired]

There's a place in Wildwood run by veterans. They are choosy about what they take, so I'd check them. Prices are good. Many people watch estate sales. You can get some good furniture especially bedroom or dining room. Living rooms depend on if it was furniture from homes bought turn-key or new furniture bought after moving here. We found older pieces weren't comfortable or were "very" used. But with all used places or sales it's hit or miss.

[cologal]

We found some good used furniture at Bargains and Treasures when we moved here. Now that we are moving to Arizona any furniture we don’t take will head back there!

[carolfry44]

You can find some really quality furniture in the classified ads from people who have moved here with their good furniture and it doesn't fit the house or whatever. You can save thousands of $$'s. Keep your eyes open, some of the furniture is like brand new.

[dnobles]

Be prepared to wait. I ordered in February received in July. Ordered more 7/21 received early October

[Doro22]

I purchased our indoor furniture at Babettes. They have a location in Brownwood and a larger store o 441. Lanai and birdcage furniture from Palm Casual.
I was very happy with selection and service at both stores.

Excellent choices.

[Jean G]

Babette’s has 20% off everything in October. Once you purchase any big pieces of furniture, all accessories becomes 30% Off for 30 more days. Order right away because it can take a very long time to get some pieces in.
