[QUOTE="scratch, post: 428538, member: 1674"] My father had a furniture/appliance store. I was raised in the business. Most of the furniture in my house is solid cherry and oak, and one bedroom is antique mahogany. There is a giant markup on furniture. Most furniture I see in stores is garbage. I never go by the brand, but rather by its construction. I will pull drawers out or flip stuff over to see the quality of how its made. The less metal fasteners, the better. Its certainly "buyer beware" when shopping for furniture. You can sometimes get good deals in closeouts and it doesn't hurt to try offer a dealer a lower price than what they offer. $5,000 for a coffee table? You could have one custom built cheaper than that. [/QUOTE]
