You have found the leather love seat of your dreams.
But a glance of the price shakes your very core foundation.
This beauty is totally out of your league.
However, before giving up hope of decorating bliss, here are shopping guides to buying furniture.
Researching your choice.
When you spot a piece of furniture you like at your local store, write down the manufacturer, collection name, model number and wood type and/or fabric style from the sales ticket.
If you cannot find these information, you simply ask the salesperson, who can look it up in a catalog.
If the salesperson declines for the reason of commission, then kindly explain that you would never buy something without knowing the make.
Doing the deal.
The first thing to do is to get price quotes.
Most dealers will not negotiate on the figures they give you, which include shipping charges.
If you certainly like what you hear, then do not hesitate to ask the dealer to send you fabric swatches, and brochures with photos of your bed or chest of drawers in order to be sure that you have got the same piece in mind.
Shipping charges are based on the weight of the furniture as well as the distance it is delivered.
It takes eight to twelve weeks for the furniture to be delivered.
If anything arrives broken, scratched, dented or any condition deemed not acceptable, you can call the store's customer-service department immediately.
It will send a person who will do the repair to your home or arrange for a company truck to fetch the damaged piece.
You will not be responsible for redelivery payment.
