You are talking apples and oranges. We got our bedroom furniture for Village Woodworks, all bamboo. We went o lazy boy to look for a chair, while well built that is what lazy boy specializes in. V.W. is very well built furniture and you pay for it. Lazy boy is pricey but the quality is not as good in the couches ect. The chairs are probably the best built.

I know it is not in West Seattle, but there is a warehouse in Tukwila that sells furniture by Elliot Bay Furniture that often retails at Costco or Pottery Barn. The stuff appears well built; that being said, I haven’t purchased there but a friend did and she liked her piece. Real low pressure sales angle: “If you like it, buy it, we’ll be over here doing paperwork. It is right across Strander from that ugly yellow building that is always going out of business.

I did buy a oak and wrought iron coat rack from Village Woodworks that I’ve enjoyed.

I’ve been really lucky and happy with furniture bought at the Bon Clearence center which became the Macy’s Clearence center. It moved, but it’s still at South Center. A Natuzzi leather couch for $549.

I personally like the Cannery – it’s cheesy as hell but good deals (great scratch ‘n dent section) and a LOT to look at – in Sumner.

Plus, if I go there I can visit my favorite pub & brewery not far away: The Powerhouse in Puyallup! :)

We bought a sofa and loveseat from La-z-boy in Tukwila about 2 years ago. They were running a special at 0% with no payments for 18 months, and it was fairly inexpensive as far as furniture goes. It’s okay quality – it won’t hold up forever, but it’s not falling apart, and I’m not regretting that I bought it. Ours, however, are not recliners nor sofabeds, so I can’t speak for the mechanics of those pieces.

The only issue we had with them was that we wanted a style that was not in stock and was due to arrive in a week or two – as a result, they told us they were going to consider it a “special order” and need us to put down 30% in cash and then finance the rest at the 0% special. I thought it was ridulous that it was a “special order” when they admitted (before I asked) that they were coming in whether I ordered it or not. They claimed it was “special” because they were putting it aside for me and not able to sell it to someone else. I wasn’t interested in putting down 30% and we decided to leave – we didn’t really need the furniture. (I had the $, but why pay it now when I can pay it in 18 months?) That’s when they called the manager and he “made a deal” with us of 10% down. I don’t like games like that, but it’s become standard in the furniture business much of the time. Otherwise, there were no delays in shipment and they did honor the deal they ultimately made with us.

Bon/Macy’s for my couch, chair, armoire, bedframe and headboard…. It’s all held up great!

I also bought a custom floor cabinet for the bathroom from V.W. – they did a great job as well.

If you’re into staining and such you can also find stores that sell the items unfinished and just stain them yourself. You’ll save some money that way too.

Here, here on the Old Cannery. Any furniture store that also sells fudge is okay in my book. We bought our living room set there and have enjoyed it. It’s made by Ashley, which is not the most high quality but reasonably priced. They have some other brands there that are of higher quality. TOC has fantastic customer service.

My parents have a Lazy Boy living room set and it’s held up very well. It’s not the most comfortable couch and in hindsight, I think they would probably buy a different brand in the future. Their recliner is very comfortable though.
