Purchasing Furniture (YIKES)?

Miz Patti asked:

I have spent most of the day shopping for furniture prices online. During my search I learned that retailers mark up the price of furniture anywhere from 40%-100% that they receive from the manufacturer/supplier. The bedroom suite I’m looking at is $11,000 (this is for 10 pieces) There has to be a way to cut out the middle man and pay thousands of dollars less. I live in Greenville, SC which puts me right in the middle of Atlanta and Charlotte (a hour or so drive each way). Travel time from my house to Hickory or High Point, NC and other furniture towns in NC is about 2-3 hours away. How do retailer get the deep discounts? Can you negotiate with furniture stores? Could faxing a request for quote to dealers result in better prices? Could you make a offer for furniture and see if the retailer will bite? What stops the average joe from calling up the same supplier and buying. There has to be a way to get furniture at cost. Any ideas welcomes. Thanks.

How did you pick your baby furniture?

charlie asked:


It seems all the pieces I like you can only buy online. My husband is sort of weird about buying things online that you can’t see & feel before hand.

Where to buy wood online or at a store?

scootergarrett asked:

I’m looking for good wood to make furniture out of. Lumber yards don’t usually have thick enough stock 8/4 and home depot is garbage so don’t say that. The one online seller that I found is a little expensive, so I’m looking for other websites that sells a wide variety of species in different thicknesses.
