5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source for name brand furniture at a discount, October 4, 1999

By A Customer

This book is an excellent guide for anyone wanting to save money on furniture. It gives excellent reviews of each furniture outlet, and became the crucial foundation for planning a trip to the furniture capital--North Carolina. Telephone numbers along with the lines of furniture carried at each outlet helped me save time by knowing exactly which outlets I wanted to visit prior to arriving. It also distingushed which outlets accepted telephone orders. Excellent source for information in one location. I saved $650 on 3 pieces of furniture; it was well worth the cost of the book!

5.0 out of 5 stars remember the college guides?, May 31, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Furniture Factory Outlet Guide (Paperback)

This one looks like one...every page has a different outlet, with information like location and telephone, hours, email, a brief description with very personalized comments from the author, directions on how to get there, and lists of manufacturers each outlet carries or does business with. It also has some photos of items you could find there and the great discounts offered. Too bad I don't live in the North Carolina area or I would be off every weekend going to every outlet. It's great for those who really want to save big money on furniture and accessories for the home. The book did mention 3 big warehouses in NC, which I already know about, but offered more info about them than what I already knew. If you plan on getting furniture, get the book, but first check if there is a copy in your local library instead of spending the money on the book. This is a guide you will probably use once every other year, or until you finish furnishing your home.

4.0 out of 5 stars Saved thousands of dollars, January 20, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Furniture Factory Outlet Guide (Paperback)

I purchased a house recently and decided to replace almost all my furniture. I bought The Furniture Factory Outlet Guide for assistance. I saved literally over $10,000 using this book. My one recommendation to use this guide is to shop your local furniture stores, get the furniture manufacturer's name, the group name and/or number of the pieces you like. Then use the guide to call the stores listed in the guide that carry the furniture manufacturer you're looking for, and price shop, one against the other for the best deals. You really don't even have to go to NC, unless you want to spend a couple days looking and figuring out what furniture you like. Then go home and call the stores in this guide. Good luck and happy shopping.
