Does anyone have an opinion on City Furniture quality? Is there another furniture place that is reasonably priced and quality is good.
Thanks,
Leanne

We got our furniture at White's Furniture. We were happy with prices, quality, and service.

I have a lot of furniture from City Furniture. It is cheap, but seems to be doing well. A lot of people do not like the service they get from City Furniture, but I didn't have any problems. Babettes is a good place to buy furniture. I don't think any reasonably priced furniture is made as well as it used to be. I have a reclining loveseat from Babettes where the color came off within a few months. It is Flexsteel, which is supposed to be a good brand, but I don't agree.

We shopped at White’s, mid level quality furniture, nothing high end, slightly more expensive but good service, and Babettes. From reading posts about City Furniture we stayed away from them.

I don't typically like to bash businesses, but for $hitty Furniture, I will gladly make an exception. Run away from them as fast as you can. They are without a doubt the worst company I ever did business with. Very poor quality furniture, worst customer service ever experienced, bait and switch sales gimmicks, and horrible delivery (and they won't let you pick up the furniture yourself). On the day we closed on our new home, after waiting 4 hours past our delivery window, they finally delivered and installed our new bed. In the middle of the night my wife rolled over and the bed collapsed and we both went crashing to the floor. And the dam thing was installed as good as the piece of junk possibly could have been, it was just so poor quality that it could not support the mattress and two adults. The customer service story following that is nothing short of a total nightmare. Stay away from $hitty furniture.

We prefer the quality of older furniture, so we buy used for MOST stuff. Either at tag/yard sales or thrift shops. Some things like the bed, our recliners, and the futon couch we bought new. Everything else though are either antiques, our own family heirlooms, repurposed from previous jobs, or gently used and in excellent condition.

This person is spot on-- I also bought a HOUSE full of this crap- it's made very deep in china and will fall apart. I donated it ALL !

Use to be about every month someone would post about their terrible experience with City Furniture. Haven't seen those this year, maybe they have improved or maybe people quit buying there. The consensus is the best furniture around is at Babettes, especially if you want real leather. They have a big store in Leesburg on 441 across from the airport and a smaller store at Brownwood across from Gators Dockside. I made the mistake of buying what I thought was leather from Kane's Furniture in Ocala, they're a Florida chain have been around for 70 years, however their furniture is bonded leather and will wear out in 2 years, I know firsthand.

Here's a couple of threads on your question already with many answers. I found great value at Badcock in the shopping center in Wildwood. I decided I didn't want to pay for real leather and wanted something easy to keep clean, so went with vinyl. Prices are great, and the used stores weren't much cheaper. Here's our living room set five years old from Badcock, I recently took these photos because we just installed wood floors and to had to buy area rugs.

This set comes in cream or medium brown. The recliners are $400 and the loveseat is $700 at Badcock of Wildwood.

My Flexsteel reclining loveseat was "real" leather and the color started coming off in about 4 months. But, Babettes did everything they could to fix the problem. Excellent service.

Wow, that'll ruin your sleep! That happened to my husband's twin bed once when we were in a $20/per night hotel room in Peru. He put it back together but it did the same thing the next night. Maybe City Furniture's rejects end up there.

City is junk. Rooms to Go , Kanes, Family Furniture and Babbetts were good for us.

We furnished two bedrooms with City Furniture and experienced no problems with quality or service.

The remainder of our furniture was purchased via Babettes and we are satisfied with our purchases there. We used Babettes for help with design and color choices as neither of us has an eye for interior design. They were helpful and we like the results.

We bought a sofa and loveseat 4 years ago at City Furniture. The sofa was of inferior quality, and we were flat out lied to about a refund on an unused power seat warranty. I can't say I wasn t warned by posters on TOTV about City Furniture. I guess I had to find out for myself.
I won't do business with City Furniture again.

Babette's in Leesburg is huge. Great selection and I guess reasonable prices. I wouldn't buy a mattress there but everything else seemed okay. And if they don't have anything you like they have another store right next door called Lifestyle by Babette's. I think between the two stores there's close to 70,000 square feet of showroom.

Right now they're having a 15% off for the holidays sale. Be advised though that some furniture is getting to be like appliances with a several month backlog due to covid.

We bought several items of furniture at Babette’s, very happy with their prices and service. I shopped the internet for items we liked at Babette’s and found Babette’s pricing to be better than online prices.
