As TV moves closer and closer to build-out, I suspect you will see a number of changes.

I don't see many designer collections on this site. I hope the store has more to choose from.

And just what happens to all of those "warranties" that they sold? One of their warranties is that if you bought 2 matching pieces of furniture and something happened to one and the fabric was no longer available, the would redo both pieces in the same fabric.

True, he will lose the rent money but will have a great business loss deduction. No lose situation.

Sorry. Southern Lifestyles was one of the best things about TV. They furnished the model homes. They had your furniture ready to deliver the day you closed. I think this is a bad thing.

Sorry. I got a little carried away.

I see Bernhardt. Bernhardt is very high end.

Did you see Broyhill or more affordable lines?

Usually if a store can carry Bernhardt, they can buy and sell from all different furniture lines that anyone would want.

That's my worry too! I am sure they will tell us that City will take over the warranty but I doubt they will in the end.

City Furniture delivers the day you need it also, they did for me at my condo in So.Fl. Their stores are huge and any kind of price point for your wants & needs. I saw my furniture in Southern Lifestyles, btw.

Yes, I saw Bernhardt as the only true designer furniture. No Lexington, hooker, etc. I know exactly what I want and the current store carries all of it. I am just not ready to order yet. Yes, maybe they will special order.

I was so disappointed when Southern Lifestyles moved, and now this???? I have purchased a number of pieces from them in the last six months & found that you could not beat their prices either on the web or from NC. If this rumor is true, thank goodness I bought from them before this happens. I also have one of their refundable warranties on a leather couch I purchased....will be interesting to see how these are handled!

[asianthree]

the online site has lots of dark woods and fabric...hope there is something light in the stores

Never found anything to buy at the West Palm Beach store.

We moved into an empty home a few years ago with our cat, a king mattress and a small kitchen table set, we shopped and shopped and decided to go to Southern Lifestyles. We decided on four different sets, dining and bedroom, and four different times, our sales lady came back to say that they were out and an order would take eight weeks. We ended up buying most of our furniture at Showcase Direct. The service was extraordinary as we returned several times. We finally did buy end tables and a coffee table at Southern Lifestyles and they too had excellent service. Fortunately, we are all set now but it's sad to see them go. I hope City Furniture will hire these people that served the other stores so well.

They're going away? Completely?

This is very disappointing news.
