I like Weir's Outlet for good, traditional value furniture. I missed today's semi-annual sale but figure there are a lot of Ags with $$ that have found good value places. No Stacy's or Rooms 2 Go.

But seriously, Nebraska furniture mart is a killer store. You can find anything in any price range, and all the stuff my wife has bought has actually held up.

Agreed here. I bagged on NFM as much as anyone, but had to furnish a whole house recently. It's unreal how much you can get there. We spend the better part of a day there, but walked away happy with all purchases, and found some extremely helpful people while we were there.

NFM is the only answer when it comes to furniture.

Before I'd get anything at the big boxes, I'd check out some of the local Amish furniture retailers and see if you can find something there. They often run what's on the floor at around 20% off and the quality is MUCH better than what you'll find at the big retailers. We've got a TV stand/center in solid oak that we've had for 7 years. Heavy mother that looks brand new and will last for decades. I think we paid around $800; less than 1K for sure. King bed with 2 side tables in, I think, oak that were in the mid-2000s price wise. We had to order these.

I spent less, comparatively, than a buddy who bought similar items at NFM. They bought a little more but I still couldn't believe how much he spent.

Nebraska Furniture Mart

"China Furniture Mart" would be just a little more accurate.

I like NFM, but there are a couple others depending on what you are looking for:

• Nadeau - Dallas in the design district has some pretty interesting imported wooden furniture. We've gone there several times for tables, bookshelves, bars and the like.
• Model Home Furnishings in Frisco has more of a "Restoration Hardware" feel, but it's direct from manufacturer. Lot of catalog ordering there, but they have a small showroom as well. Everything we've received from there has been pretty well-made. No complaints, except for the slow delivery time (because they don't maintain a warehouse).

For anyone who does purchase furniture at one of the larger retailers or even Model Home Furnishings, I run a side furniture delivery business. I routinely pick-up furniture form these locations and bring them to you faster and cheaper than what they can offer. Send me an email firesafetycode gmail and I will send you my facebook page. I also pick-up and deliver anything you are your wife buys off the Facebook garage sale sights.

ETA: I'm located in Little Elm/Frisco area.
