How are the furniture stores in TV? Are there any other good stores outside of TV? Any help is appreciated. So many great answers here. Thanks!!

For our money, we thought the best value was at Southern Lifestyles in Sumter Landing. The furniture was of good quality and the prices were fair.

Or here;

Items For Sale in The Villages, Florida - Talk of The Villages

If you are looking for a bargain you might search the classified area of TOTV or go to some of the consignment shops in the area. I, personally, though the furniture was very nice when we checked them out.

Good luck and remember to use the "search" area of TOTV. It is a great asset.

We weren't charged for delivery at Showcase direct...and they give a 5% discount to Village residents.

Sorry what i was trying to say is don't bother driving to Orlando to Ashley due to the fact that showcase and southern both carry same product and the price is the same

our experience 2 yrs ago:
babette's lured us to their store with an offer of 15% discount - then charged us a 10% delivery fee to the villages!

showcase direct had many of the same manufacturers as stores between ocala and leesburg; uses secret shoppers to scope out the prices charged by the competition; will meet any price offered by the competition; and great delivery people and care for furniture delivered!

kent furniture Home - KENT FURNITURE INC delivered our bed next day so we had it to sleep on the nite we closed on the house! then went back and bought living room furniture that we could not find elsewhere! great to deal with and they remembered us whenever we went back there!

we hit each of the pre-owned furniture stores but never found a style we cared for nor a sufficient amount of furniture to give us a somewhat coordinated effect that we wanted. have found that it is okay for an occasional piece or two. we love bargains and treasures for price but neerlynew for quailty. we have just gotten around to exploring the wildwood area and will check out the pre-owned furinture stores there when we get back.

btw - if ya head over to wildwood, don't forget to check out the russell stover candy outlet! rt 44 - go across rt 301 - and go straight to the store where you make a left into their parking area! no pre-owned stuff there!

I used Babcock on 441/27 in Fruitland Park. Very nice young man (too long ago to remember his name), but they delivered a dining room table and chairs the next day in order for me to have Thanksgiving dinner at my house. He even threw in 2 more chairs free, and you know how expensive the chairs are. I also liked a console piece for the dining room but wasn't sure how it would look and he sent it along with the dining set and said he would take it back if I didn't like it. PS.... I loved it and still do.

I also ordered my bed with headboard and all the mattresses from them and he even sent over workmen the following day to add more slats for me.

Can't say enough about their customer service and salesmanship. Everything was perfect and still is 4 years later.

Give Centsible Furnishings a try - quality & the proceeds help the tri-county area.
Also, Almost Perfect ...........both on 441 North of 42 about a mile.

We purchased our outdoor furniture from Showcase Direct and love the furniture. However, stay away from sales person Nathan....he is very nice but he does not know anything about what he was selling and the experience was painful. He would go into the back room to get on a computer to look up many of the answers to our questions and sometimes it took him 15 minutes or more. We were left waiting on multiple occasions. What should have taken us less than an hour took us two plus and we ended up doing some research on the computer to answer our own questions that he should have known the answer to.

We found an excellent selection at White Furniture out 441 towards Marion Market and also Family Furniture in Leesburg. Purchased from both and had great service - free delivery.

Hey Happi,

Actually we did get Nathan.
Friendly, helpful and knew his stuff. He would leave and make a copy of what we wanted and yes it took a while.
We did get a queen sofa sleeper and L shaped desk for our office from him.
Did take longer than we had thought it would.

Flash forward. We stopped in at the LSL location. Same thing; different guy so I think thats just how it works at these stores.
Guy in LSL printed out info and it came out reversed or "mirrored" and you'd have to hold it up to a mirror to read it so off he went to make another.
