Actually, Shrandell, that is what I thought. We used B & T extensively in October of 2007 when we furnished our Villa, and got great bargains. I've noticed that when Snowbird season is in full tilt, it's a lot harder to find really great stuff. I'm lazy and B & T is ten minutes away so it's just become a habit to check it out regularly.

I'm looking for some light colored rattan patio furniture. All the new stuff seems to be dark this year.

I like Neerly New in Fruitland Park on 441. Take 466A east to 441 turn right and it should be about 1 mile. Quality items.
Good Luck

I find myself going to Almost Perfect Furniture (consignment) because of their vast selections and they are reasonably priced.
I have found some wonderful things.

It is located on 441 two miles west of 42 on the left sitting back from the road, but you can see it.
I have not been to their store in Wildwood but have heard great things about it also.
I believe Rte. 42 runs east/west. Not sure Almost Perfect Furniture can be "2 miles west of 42". Is it acually on 441 about 2 miles north of 42?? Would like to visit. Please clarify. Thanks

OOPS! You are correct - north of 42 it is.

I agree Bargains and Treasures seems less worthwhile than it used to be.

More than one person has mentioned they compare B&T to 2007, and I got wondering if the fact that Neerlee New didn't exist before 2009 has any bearing on concerns expressed. I'm not saying it does or it doesn't, but it is something to consider!

We used to get amazing furniture in perfect condition for 1/3 of local new prices. Much of the Furniture was from southern Lifestyles. Prices have increased, but I personally still prefer B & T over the other newer consignment stores.

We got our dining room set from The Furnature Barn in Fruitland Park and the spare bedroom furnature from Neerlee New. You really have to go and check often until you find something you like because the stock can turnover rapidly. At Neerlee New we were so close to a corner TV cabinet that the sales tag wasn't even off it yet and the buyers were in the office when we went in to say we want it. So ya gotta be quick. Just like Billy Joel sings the "the good die young," at these previously owned stores, "the good stuff goes fast," but don't expect me to sing it to you!

Carguys, you will have fun furnishing your new home! You must be getting excited -- do you only have three months until you are a Frog?

Oh so sorry Schaunburger for not getting back to you. We have been busy packing. And Ruth and I were so proud of downsizing. However we just weighed in 1200 lbs over estimate.

I guess the tool box weighed more than they guessed?

Yes less than three months left before we leave NY. Time must be getting close as I am getting the

" Your almost home Herv!" Nice reminders from Gracie Angie and VCDD Bill statements.
