Things to Do and Not to Do when buying new or used furniture.
When it's time to go shopping for new furniture, it can fun and stressful at the same time. With the Big furniture prices out there, be smart about your Big purchases.

Here are 5 things to consider when buying furniture new or used:

Do not get in a sparring match with a spouse in the showroom over differences of opinion. Your salesperson is there to consult , not referee! Consider that your spouse might see something different than you do. Most of the time one person sees the practical use of the furniture while the other sees the decorative and blending  sides. Being open minded and talking it out will lead to a compromise.

Do not consult with other clients in the store about what you are looking at. Everyone has their owns thoughts and feelings about things and this only makes your choices harder. What they like may sound good till you get it home, then you have buyers remorse because you hate it. A good salesperson will give you different options and scenario's with furniture you are interested in.

Never, Never go for the zero down , no interest plans. Financing furniture usually never turns out beneficial for the customer and is ALWAYS great for the store. If you are ever late or do not pay for the furniture in a timely manner, the surcharges and penalties are a killer!

Pass on any  product warranty fees or plans.When a sales person offers this, you should question the quality of that purchase. The furniture store should be questioned whether they stand behind their products.
The fees are not too expensive, but are a waist of money.

Last but not least, always check with a furniture Furniture Consignment Store like Consignment Seekers before you purchase brand new. They may have the exact piece or set you are looking for half the cost of new. Shop smart!!
