I've found some posts about this store but they are quite old. I'm considering buying from them and wondered if they are reputable. What kind of experience have Villagers had with them?

We feel comfortable with Babbettes in Leesburg.

We just bought furniture from Kane's and were greatly satisfied with the items we bought and the service. Delivery was great and when they said it would be. Talk to Oscar.

I bought furniture from Kane's and I am totally satisfied. They give a lifetime warranty on all of their furniture.

Some people prefer Babette's but Kane's is a reputable store. IMHO

Agree on Kane's, 90% of what we have came from Kane's. They also handle returns and exchanges with a smile. They are our go to store.

I had a really hard time returning a chair I bought. As soon as they delivered it I knew it wasn't right for me. I called immediately and they refused to refund my money only give me a store credit. Don't take delivery unless you're sure it's right. Not sure if this is the policy of other furniture stores or not.

My mother, an 18 year villages resident, only bought furniture from White's.

I am so sorry so many of you new people missed doing business with Southern Lifestyles. It was owned by the Morses and did a great job.

Is it closed or a different name?

People have different experiences with retail stores. You experience with City Furniture obviously wasn't up to your expectations, and I am not doubting that. However we just shopped around for a couch and loveseat. Went went to five stores, and found the one we liked best for looks, quality and price at CF near Spanish Springs.
The salesperson Nicolle could not have been more pleasant and professional. Our purchase was delivered exactly when they said it would be. The two drivers from Ft. Lauderdale warehouse called before they arrived, set up the furniture, then had me speak to customer service before they left to make sure I was happy with them, and the product. My satisfactory level so far is at 100%.
As a sidenote, we have purchased furniture from Babettes and have been happy with them as well.

The question which was asked is regarding experience with Kane Furniture. We purchased most of our furniture from there for our house and have been more than satisfied. We did have some minor issue with 2 things. The entertainment center doors were not even, they were prompt to fix. The other problem wasn't really their fault. After waiting awhile for a special ordered piece, they called us to say the manufacture discontinued one of the pieces of the bedroom furniture we had special ordered. They offered the display piece at a nice discount and delivered it, no issues.
Will buy from them again.

Villagers really liked Southern Lifestyles.

I have heard there was a short time, several years ago, when buyers of new homes could choose 10 percent of the purchase price of the house in furniture from Southern Lifestyles. The furniture was decent stuff.

It must have been a real attention-getter for marketing. We all know that furniture mark-up is a big one, but that is everywhere. With floorplans and displays, Southern Lifestyles made it so easy to furnish a home nicely and efficiently. They knew the territory, of course. And that furniture is out there still looking good in those homes. I think it must be a little more difficult to furnish a home in TV now that Southern Lifestyles is gone forever. But the surrounding local economy should be helped and helpful.

I am wandering off....back to topic, Kane's. I do not know anything about Kane's though.

Yes we got a similar deal in 2008 when we purchased our home in Hadley. We chose instead for $7,000 off the purchase price of our home. The home we purchased was $199,000 minus the $7000. The home is now worth $245,000. It was just appraised this week. We're pretty happy about it. It's a Wisteria.
