Kijiji. Craigslist.

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!

Good luck!

Agree. Family Furniture

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.

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

Concur on both.

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!

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).

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.

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...

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.

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
