FurnitureLand

No, this is not a story about our trip to a new amusement park where everything looks like furniture...Furnitureland South is actually the name of the largest furniture showroom in the world. Yes, that's right, the world! And it is a mere hour and a half down the road from us in High Point, North Carolina.

Brendan and I took a trip out there today hoping to find some amazing furniture deals. Now that we are in our first home, we are in need of what we call "real" furniture. We also finally have room for more than just a couch in our living room (although barely), so our main goal today was to find two upholstered chairs for that room.

As soon as we pulled up to Furnitureland, we were greeted by a four-story highboy (see pic). We made our way to the Clearance Center and began perusing through what felt like hundreds of chairs. We struck gold early and found what we thought was the perfect chair at the perfect price. Brendan thought we should go ahead a buy the one we found, but I wanted to at least look at the main showroom. We drove over to the main showroom and lasted about 30 minutes in that environment...so we drove back to the Clearance Center only to find out that our perfect chair was part of a "group" and could not be sold separately.

So, instead of bringing home additional seating for our community group meeting Sunday night, we had to order our chairs and won't receive them for 6-8 weeks....but, good news, we got free delivery! On the plus side, we were able to order two of the exact chairs that we wanted (pic below is of our chair).
