Can someone recommend a furniture store (outlet or second hand)?
 
Having recently purchased a house here, I would love to furnish it without spending fantastic sums of money.

Is there a high-quality outlet store for furniture or second hand shop with good stuff?

Thanks for any recommendations.

My wife recommends: Almost Perfect (route 441 north of 42 on the south bound lanes), Bargains and treasures (466 across from Walmart).

If you're looking for vintage stuff, you could try Wildwood Antique Mall. A lot of their stuff is expensive because it's antique but you could pick up some awesome room accessories like lamps, ottomans, lace table runners, etc there.

Bargains and Treasures is good. Almost Perfect is too expensive.

Funny, we sold Almost Perfect a metal outdoor coffee table for $75.00.
A few weeks later, we went to the store and saw the table we sold them, listed for $475.00....some markup !

I went there once and saw some used dining chairs for $90 each. I had recently purchased the exact same chairs, brand new for $75 each.

Visit Bargains and Treasures and look around.

Bought a bunch of stuff at almost perfect when we moved in and wife very happy with purchases.

Do need to understand pricing of what you buy.

What store? Did they come and get it? Labor and overhead costs.

Antique is over priced and over rated. :oops:

I wouldn't pay $475 for any coffee table, new or used, even it is was almost perfect.

First Baptist Thrift Store in Leesburg, 1210 W N Blvd, Leesburg,FL 34748

They also have postings on Facebook of their merchandise. It changes frequently.

Agree with both suggestions.
