Finding terrific bargains at clearance furniture sales
Some people think that any item marked clearance is one to be avoided. They think there must be something wrong with it or just dont like the sound of clearance as though buying a clearance item is something shameful، reflecting poorly on their taste or finances. If youre one of these people، read on for some eye opening information that may just change your mind. Here well take a look at a case in point، the clearance furniture sales.
Do you know that، just like cars، even a mattress has a year model? Furniture stores will have a yearly sale just to move the current years mattress models to make room for the new models. Mattresses dont change much from year to year! The only change you may find is a different pattern design or a different color of trimming. Mattresses are expensive. If you need a new one، why not save a bundle?
Clearance furniture sales work the same way. Unless youre an interior designer، this years chair looks just like the past years chair. Perhaps its a different color or the upholstery has changed. Maybe its a floor model and 100 people have sat on it in the past year. No big deal. If you like the chair، why not save $100 or more?
Other items youll find at substantial savings at clearance furniture sales include sofas، loveseats، occasional tables، nightstands and armoires. In fact، youll find almost everything a furniture store sells، as long as its last years model. Lamps، decorative figurines and accent pieces all qualify as clearance furniture items.
You do need to inspect the item closely to be sure its not damaged. Occasionally، a tabletop will be scratched or a lamp has a chip in the base. Still، if the damage is something that you can easily fix، weigh the savings against the repair effort. If it must be perfect، just pass on the item.
Furniture store typically schedule their clearance furniture sales well in advance. If youre friendly with a clerk at your favorite furniture store، theyre usually willing to give you advance notice. If you have an account with the store، youll get advance notice by postcard، with special days just for their charge account customers. This means you get the best selection.
If you have a particular type of furniture in mind that youd like to buy، a little patience can pay you big time. So if youve previously sniffed at clearance furniture sales، you might now want to mark the date on your calendar.
