Furniture Places

A friend recently asked me where should go to buy (or sell) furniture.

Craigs List, of course. http://dallas.craigslist.org/

My favorite furniture resale place is Dulce on Oak Lawn. Very high-style, very good quality. Don't expect Garage Sales prices. Prices are very reasonable for what you are getting. http://www.mydulce.com/

The Salvation Army on Inwood has great furniture and lots of it. This store is The Mother Ship for the Salvation Army's operation in the Metroplex. They have a room in the back for the donated vintage/antiques. I have friends who make it a point to go by this store once a week when they are looking for a specific type of furniture piece. It is truly amazing what sorts of furniture shows up at this store! If you go on Wednesday, all the clothing is half-price.

As you walk into the store, there is a desk to the left of the door. Usually there is a store manager standing at that desk. Ask him (I don't think I have ever seen a woman standing there) to explain their mark-down policy. They have a schedule for reducing the prices on the furniture.

The Salvation Army's website doesn't make it easy to find their stores. The store does show up on Google Maps. 5554 Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas 75235- (214) 630-5611
