i shopped at several large stores in va beach (value city, grand, lazyboy) and a couple small hole-in-the-walls too. i shopped around so much because i was looking to purchase 3 rooms of furniture and wanted to be sure to get the best deal. anyway, i had the worst shopping experience ever at value city - rude dishonest salespeople. plus, the quality of the furniture was cheap to say the least. that's why on signed onto this site - to state my horrible experience at value city. back to my furniture shopping... grand had decent quality furniture but higher prices than haynes and i think haynes furniture was a little better quality. lazyboy was just plain expensive when compared to the competition. so, i'm here to say i had a positive experience at haynes. i bought an italian leather sofa and loveseat for $1550 (compared to $2000 for the closest comparable set at grand), a counter height kitchen table and chairs for $600 (couldn't find a counter height table i liked at the other stores to compare to), and a sleigh bedroom for $1300 (compared to $1700 at value city for a bedroom that looked similar but wasn't constructed well or compared to $1900 for a comparable bedroom from grand). oh, and i got a good finance deal at haynes - not sure what the other stores offered on the finance side b/c i didn't get that far with them
Pros: best value for furniture
Cons: store is too big - you could get lost in there
