One of the best ways to find good style value in furniture is to start by shopping in the highest end stores you can find.  Examine the furniture carefully. Pull out the drawers; open the doors; note carefully the design and what appeals to you and will work in the space you are seeking to fill.  After you have educated yourself up, now you are ready to shop for what you can afford.  You will sometimes find that the best quality is found at the highest price point.  And if you can afford it this will be your best purchase if you plan to keep your pieces for a long time.  But if you can't afford the best, shop for the next best thing!

Now go to the stores where you can afford to make your purchase and compare these items to what you saw in the high end showrooms.  You'll find you have educated your eye to find a real gem. 

Enjoy your search!  Lori Duperon
