It is a family owned business and they are great to work with, everything was delivered and installed exactly as promised. We are planning on scaling down to a smaller home in a few years and will definitely used their services again. Not to mention when the grandchildren visit they get the biggest kick out of closing their bed into a closet.

We bought most of our furniture at Babbette's and are happy with it. Also bought some thru Amazon (dining room table and chairs, entertainment center, furniture for study and TVs) and were also happy with that approach. If you have Amazon Prime (a great deal at $79/yr), you get free 2 day shipping things fulfilled by Amazon.

My wife and I have just recently purchased several rooms of furniture and a rug from the other Villages owned furniture store, Showcase Direct, up near Spanish Springs off of Bichara Blvd. It is in the center near Belk. The sales person we worked with was Linda Hayman, who also has a decorating background as well. She is very easy to work with and very helpful. With any futre needs, we will see her first. Also, extremly good delivery service after the sale.

Like many who move here, we brought nothing from up north and completely furnished the house we built locally. We used Southern Lifestyles in Lake Sumter Landing for the following reasons:

(1) They have a large selection of some very high quality furniture.
(2) They have consultants (Debi in our case) whose taste is impeccable in putting together a package of great furniture to match the design concepts you are going for.
(3) They have access to new homes and can deliver and set up your furniture before you ever arrive.
(4) We know they will stand behind their product.

Yep, they weren't cheap, but all things considered, they seemed like the best option for us, and we haven't been sorry.
