Question: I have family coming to stay with us in July from overseas and we have no furniture for our quest bedroom. We started looking around and everything we like is special order and takes 4 to 6 weeks. Our question is, do we just get something cheap for the time being? Or, wait for something we really like? Thanks, “impatient furniture shoppers”.

Answer: Thanks for a good question. We run into this problem all the time with clients that are shopping in our store. They are often surprised that most quality products are special order and cant be inventoried. Higher end furniture usually offers many custom choices from different wood finishes to 100″s of fabric choices so it’s impossible for stores to guess exactly what ever client might want. We suggest that instead of rushing to purchase something that you aren’t satisfied with buy your mattress and nice bedding for the time being and make the room as inviting as possible until your ideal product comes in. The other suggestion is to switch rooms with your guests until your new furniture arrives, its always fun to switch things up on occasion.
