Value City Furniture

[Pushrod]

We bought a really nice loveseat with built in rocker/recliners. Very high quality. As mentioned, definetly get the stainguard, specially if you have pets or children.

I just purchased a living room set from them. Its holding up well but its only a month old. I haven't had any problems, but a friend of mine purchased a dining room table and the finish has come off. Be careful what you clean it with. It was a good table I just think it was cleaned with the proper products.

We furnished my grandmother's apartment from there and everything looks great and they were very good to deal with.

Jazz,

You don't have children to destroy your stuff, so I think anything you buy is going to be able to hold up with no problems.

I bought my couch and love seat from them and that was almost 2 years ago and it's holding up ok. But whatever you do, GET THE STAIN GUARD!!!!! It's worth the extra $$. I've had just about everything split on my couch and it wipes right off. Even grease and blood have come right off

I've purposely tried to stain a couch just to see if it worked.

Rip-off Report

A great website to check on companies is http://www.ripoffreport.com/default.asp

Found some interesting complaints about value city.

That is where we will probably get our new livingroom set, when we get one. I would go to Lazy-boy but with a dog that sleeps on the back of the couch like a cat. I don't want to spend that much money on furniture!

I went to the La-z-boy store too and just about when I saw the prices. Beautiful stuff but I don't have that kind of moola to spare right now.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I will have to post pictures when I get it all in and set up.

We bought a nice entertainment center from them about two years ago. Just the night before last, my wife was saying "I love this thing; don't you think so?". I've found that their furniture is every bit as good as anyone else's.

I'm still debating on getting the entertainment center that matches the Arts & Crafts furniture I'm getting, which is the natural finish shown on the web site. I love the style and just have to see if I'll have enough moola to swing it, but I'll probably wind up getting it. The entertainment center is very sturdy and well-constructed, and I love how you can mix-and-match the components.

A few years ago my mom bought a dining room set and a chaise lounge for her bedroom from there.

She can be a ROYAL PITA - always finding fault with things. Last night she was talking about going back there to buy an addition to the dining room set that she hadn't gotten before.

Based on that, I'd say

Hey, if your mom says it's okay, that's good enough for me.

I'm going up Friday and ordering the furniture. I can hardly wait to get it.

Looks like the one we got - except on one side, there's something extra - like an extra storage panel or something. I just know the one we have is wider than that, but I can't remember.

Anyway, it took me WEEKS to figure out the light comes on by "touch". There's a tiny metal thing you touch with your finger to turn the lights on. I kept unplugging the thing.

It's probably the "Corner Shelf Unit" which is basically a skinny storage tower. It's not show in the picture, but there's a drawing of it below. If you click on the picture itself, it brings up another window that shows different configurations you can use. I'm limited in the width I can use because of the woodstove that sits in the middle of the wall, so I need to do some measuring and configure exactly what can fit in that space.

This is pretty close to what I think will work in the space and it's in the style I'm going to get:

I'll have to remember that. Thanks for the tip!

Friday I went up to Waldorf and ordered my furniture. What a great experience! I had a wonderful salesman, who is also an interior designer, who spent about two hours with me while we finished picking out all the furniture and made sure it would fit where I want it to go. I got a dining room set (table and 4 chairs), sofa and loveseat (MicroPassion is the style and I got the stainguard protection for $120), entertainment center, coffee table, sofa table, and an end table. All for about $2,900. They also have no payments/same as cash for 6 months, which I took advantage of.

It will be delivered on the 15th. I can hardly wait. Thanks to everyone for their help!

I'm sure you'll enjoy your new furniture. It's always fun getting a whole new look.

Thanks - I'm sure I will. I've had the same "look" for 20 years. My new motto is "out with the old and in with the new."

BTW - anyone looking for furniture, Value City Furniture is having a heck of a sale right now. Everything I bought was discounted heavily.

Holy cow! I usually "rotate" my look every other year. I get a new set for the main living area, then when I get bored with it, I move it to the family room (when it's all broken in and comfy for tv watchin' ), then get a new set for the main LR again. While the "look" changes, my taste is usually pretty much the same -- casual classic -- so my other decor transfers easily.

It's cool VCF has a sale going on ... like I mentioned before, the things I've gotten from there in the past have all held up pretty well.

Long story, but it wasn't my idea to keep it for so long, that's for sure. The set is solid oak and still in good condition except for the cushions. But the 80's tweed, oak and glass look is waaaaaaaay past. I love the arts & crafts/mission style and when I saw the line at VCF, I knew I was in heaven and had to have it.

It's a great sale. The dining room set I bought is normally $499.99 and is on sale for $299.99. The rest of the stuff had similar savings. So far everyone has said it's pretty durable, so I'm hoping for the best.

Awesome! Glad ya found something that ya like. I've "settled" before on furniture when I couldn't find something that really "got" me and that sucks, so I'm happy for ya! I'm sure it'll hold up well.

Whoo-hoo!

Delivery of my furniture is scheduled and confirmed for tomorrow afternoon. I'm so excited!
