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

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.

Default Be prepared to wait a long time for some items!

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

I was very happy with selection and service at both stores.
Excellent choices.

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.
