Like New Used Furniture
 

I would recogmend Neerlee New Furnishings on 441/27. There stuff is very clean.

Southern Lifestyle
 

My wife bought all our funiture from Southern Lifestyles in 3 hours!
We had to catch a plane back to Chicago last year and had it all installed before my first rental customer. Jeff Tutin from SL had the floor plan for our model and helped identify whether furniture picked out would fit where we wanted it and he set everything up in our home.

We were lucky and got "as new" furniture from our fellow Villagers! I put an ad in the paper with our request and in just about two days 99% of our home was furnished and people who stop by can't believe it's "gently used" and not brand new. Saved tons of money. Welcome to The Villages..........

We have purchased a lot of our furniture from Kent's furniture in Belleview on 441 just north of town. Ask for Kevin or Kent. Their prices are very reasonable, selection is wide and varied and they deliver for free.

I had a horrible time with Southern Lifestyles and will never go there again.

Don't forget Veranda in Wildwood. They carry lovely, different items that you do not see any place else.

Thanks for the replies
 

Thank you so much for all the awesome responses. Look so forward to moving in and getting to know the friendly and helpful people in TV! These will give us some great places to start our search!

I have had nothing but good experiences with Southern Lifestyles.

Problem with Kanes in Ocala
 

My sister purchased and paid for a living room set. The set was "on the floor". Told sales person she would need it in about 10 days. When she stopped by in 7 days to scheduled delivery she was told they SOLD the set to someone else. They can get another set in early March. Manager did not see a problem with this. After much arguing, agreed to a refund and told good luck ! If she would have signed up for TOTV she would have known.

My two sources for new furniture were Southern Lifestyles and Veranda in Wildwood. I worked with a designer at Veranda who was excellent. I went to Babette's but found their selection somewhat spotty, and more expensive than Southern Lifestyles. I have shopped some of the resale thrift places but haven't found anything I wanted.

Contrary to the post above, I found Babette's in Leesburg to have a great selection of quality furniture - solid wood, not the cheap stuff. Their delivery was on time and they even helped me move my old furniture to another room. We need a new dining room set and are definitely going there again to buy.

I vote for Southern Lifestyles and Furniture Direct(?) (the lesser expensive one in Spanish Springs.) I also like Babbettes and Rooms2go(??) and Ikea in Orlando has some inexpensive white furniture if you are looking to furnish your home inexpensively as we did. It is our second house and plan to move the furniture from the Ohio house down when we move permanently.

I love Bargains and Treasures and the pieces we got there were in EXCELLENT condition. Also for accessories, Kirklands, Kohls, Pier One, Dockside and Bed Bath and Beyond and of course you can find a lot of accessories at Bealls too. And Walmart...and Penneys in Leesburg and that great place in Wildwood that has gorgeous light fixtures and pictures.

I loved the whole process of furnishing a whole house.:pepper2: Sweetie gets nervous every time I look at the paper for a house for our second move in TV.

Furniture
 

Knew we were moving and would not take most of the furniture. We went to High Point NC and bought our furniture and had it delivered timely. Give it 8-12 weeks. We filled in with the smaller stuff from southern lifestyle. Happy with both.

Tell us about High Point. How do you go about finding furniture? I know it is a huge furniture manufacturing (and importing) area, but I'd love to know just where you go and how you buy it as a bargain.

Can't always believe "delivery time" when ordering furniture. I ordered a Flex steel sofa and loveseat from Showcase Direct on Nov. 3rd and was told 6 weeks. I am still waiting. Most recent estimate "end of 2nd week in February". We'll see. Was told that the pillow material was out of stock and factory would not even start my order until that came in (even though the sofa material was in stock). Hmmmmm !!

We have used Kents Furniture in Bellvue (no Kanes) and found that they were great. Ask for Kent or Kevin!
