I was watching an episode of Moving Up this weekend and one of the new homeowners bought a houseful of new furniture. I’ll admit to being a teeny bit jealous. We’ve still got hand me down furniture in 2 of the kids rooms, and I can’t wait to find something I love so that I can replace it. That’s the whole reason we haven’t bought anything yet – I haven’t found something I loved. We’ve made multiple trips to the chains around here and haven’t found anything yet. I checked out this wholesale furniture store online and was pretty impressed by the prices. When we last shopped children’s bedroom furniture, the cheapest grouping (bed, dresser, nightstand, desk, chair) was $1000. And most nice sets were closer to $2000! Of course, I wanted to know why GoWFB.com could offer name brand furniture for so much cheaper than say, Rooms To Go or American Signature. Here’s why:

Our furniture brokers bring you near wholesale prices by eliminating unnecessary costs that retail stores must compensate for by charging higher prices. Retailers pay $7 – $50 per square foot a month depending on their location. That translates into 270% – 1000% markups. Our warehouse locations cost $.35 – $.70 per square foot a month and since they are only open to the public by appointment, utilities are low too. With expenses at a fraction of retailers’, our brokers deliver better value. The price you pay is for the actual items, not extravagant displays and expenses.

Make sense, doesn’t it? The modern bedroom furniture isn’t my style or taste at all, but I can still recognize that it’s something you won’t find in local chain stores, most of which offer 2 or 3 “modern” sets for you to pick from. Most reasonably priced furniture stores don’t carry so many name brand sets and pieces, either. If you’re leery of buying furniture you haven’t seen in person, you can contact GoWFB.com to find the location of their nearest warehouse, so you can view the pieces in person. (They’ve got about 55 locations across the USA – including one in Tampa.)

Those of you who are long time readers will remember the many shopping trips we made last year to find dining room furniture for our home. We found that most furniture chain stores only carry a few pieces in each style – contemporary, traditional, etc. So at the most, we found 2 or 3 sets per store that would work for us. GoWFB.com makes shopping for dining rooms a lot easier with the huge selection on their site – they’ve got 64 traditional tables on their site! I love how each product page has all of the measurements for the table, chairs, and other pieces in the set, as well as pictures of each piece – even close ups of the details on chairs, or the marble top on another piece. The product page also lists what each piece is made out of – most are hardwood solids and hardwood veneers.

If you’re ready to buy furniture online, the people behind this site is willing to bend over backward to make it as easy and pleasant as possible, to ensure that you’ll be thrilled with your new furniture.
