I submit to you the answer is no.

Insanely expensive, pushy sales ladies, it all looks the same after 5 minutes, and the wife wanted to sit on every chair and sofa in the place.

It’s 1.000 times easier if you’re single.

Yep, was told if we wanted something in a different fabric that it’d be 4 to 5 months.

No you can’t. You have no concept of the quality of the materials if you only see it in pictures.

Send your wife to scout in advance. Tell her to come up with a top 3 for each piece of furniture you’re looking to buy.

After she does her recon, go back with her. Immediately and politely tell the salesman that he’s not going to convince you to buy anything and that you promise to get him if you have any questions or want to purchase something.

Gotta let your nutz hang

This...I sternly tell the first salesperson that comes to me that we aren't buying today and just want to look around, and I'll get them if I need anything.

Why do you go? Your opinion doesn't count for shite and she's gonna get what she wants. Send her out alone.

I actually do to.

We actually like to go up to the stores around Hickory and High Point NC. I will say the furniture shopping in BR is pretty bad. So much garbage, it is like they quit buying furniture in the 80s.

High Point NC.

We have some friends in High Point and it is the "furniture capital of the world". Wife said next time we head that way, we are bringing a trailer.

eta: Was looking for your comments in the Porsche thread, pg2.
