Furniture stores

Would you guys give me some recomendations for a good furnitute store in the area?

I'm looking to re-do my living room. I haven't decided on a style yet but I want quality built furniture not junk thats going to fall apart.

Vast majority of furniture sold in US is made and constructed in China, even at the big, so called best furniture houses!
Check the labels closely. Good luck.

I think my parents just got their new LR set from Raley's. But, for coffee tables, end tables, etc., I suggest Mr. Yoder (Amish). We've furnished every room in our house with his furniture. It is top-notch!

I agree with Thompsons in Hollywood. Bought mine there 13 years ago and its still holding up. I will be going back soon to buy new. And they get my business.

Great. I'll check out Thompsons this weekend.

What I really ought to do is hire a decorator. Here's a couple grand, turn my bachelor pad into a respectable adults home! LoL!

I got my living room set from Sofa Corner in Lexington Park. I got a couch, loveseat, chair, coffee table and end tables for $1560.00. It is very good quality and a very pretty set. The guy that owns it is so nice and helpful. Good luck!

We just got a couch from Raleys. It was reasonable and it's that material (the name of it escapes me now) that repels anything that is spilled on it. For a better selection, you could try Marlow. They have a LOT of furniture, but it's a bit up the road. At the very least, you can look around and get an idea of what style you like.

We ordered a couch and loveseat in microfiber from Marlo that was promised a week BEFORE last Thanksgiving. Someone had a brainfart and paid with a check. One lame excuse after another and BBB is useless plus they already had a bin full of Marlo complaints. Marlo had our money and would not cancel. We got the furniture in March. It is excellent furniture but no more Marlo's for us.

I got a beautiful leather couch from them, which we picked up. I had no problems.
