Raley's in L.P. is OK, but watch out for the one in Waldorf. I went to a sale at the Waldorf store, found a table I liked, and noted the sale price. Came down to the Raley's in L.P. and asked about the same table, and the REGULAR price was CHEAPER than the sale price listed up at Waldorf. Same company, one is honest, the other isn't. Just an FYI.
Also, I would highly suggest you NEVER buy anything from Marlo furniture. I ordered a custom couch there a few years back, waited 4 months for it to be delivered, then watched the delivery guys drop it off the back of their truck. They were nice enough to tell me that the couch was broken, although they pretended that they had no idea how it happened. So, after refusing to take Marlow's offer to buy the broken couch at a discount, I went into the store and picked something out that was "in stock". I set up a pick-up date (I didn't trust them to deliver after the first episode, and I didn't want to take another half a day off of work to wait for their delivery during their 4 hour time slot), rented a Uhaul truck, and showed up at the warehouse to get my couch. OOPs, no couch in stock! So, I had wasted another few hours of my life, plus the cost of a Uhaul truck which I'd rented SOLEY to pick up this couch, and all they could say was "we're sorry, we have 1 couch in stock and it is for another customer". So after 4.5 months of waiting, taking a bunch of time off of work, losing my $$ on a moving truck, I finally said "give me my money back". Nope, hold on, not so easy. They would only cut me a check for what I'd paid with credit card...the portion I'd paid with cash could only be repaid via a check to be mailed to me in 30 days!
Haha, sorry, got carried away, anyway, my advice is to stay away from Marlo's and Raley's of Waldorf. I have no experience with Thompsons. If you want nice oak furniture, the Amish place north of Hughesville is good but $$, and there is a place on the left of Rt. 5 shortly before reaching 301 in Waldorf, but again $$. If you want decent oak furniture at a good price, go to the hunting/fishing store on 301, I don't remember the name of it, half the store is oak furniture, the other half guns and fishing poles.
