Shop locally: Not only will you save on shipping costs by choosing\ncompanies who keep their sales and manufacturing processes in a small\ngeographic area, but you'll also help stimulate the local economy.\n2. Look for quality: A good quality item is one that will last you as long\nas it will take to reproduce the raw materials that go into the\nconstruction of that item.  Look for a manufacturer's warranty that\nyou can live with.  Also, furniture which looks as good on the inside as\nit does on the outside is a sign of quality.  Pull out a drawer!\n3. Google your local handyman: Look for items that are repairable.  Not only\nis a repair greener for the environment, but it can also be less costly\nthan purchasing a new item.\n4. Think creatively: Before plunking down your hard-earned money on a\ngorgeous item, consider any future alternative uses.  For example,\nyesterday's TV armoires are today's bookcases and stereo\ncabinets.\n5. Get comfy: Your salesperson is your best resource in a furniture store,\nand you should not feel obligated to oblige a salesperson who makes you\nfeel uncomfortable.\n6. Don't settle: Furniture is an investment which should not leave you\nsecond-guessing yourself.  If you cannot find a piece of furniture which\nmatches your needs, you may find customization to be the best option\ndespite the increase in cost.<\/pre>\n<pre>Taken from http:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WOODBRIDGE, Va., Dec 08, 2015 \/PRNewswire via COMTEX\/ &#8212; How to not get bamboozled by too-good-to-be-true deals How do you know that you&#8217;re really getting a good deal during a furniture store&#8217;s &#8220;Going out of Business Sale&#8221;?
