Does anyone out there have information on purchasing quality furniture at
substantial discounts?  I know the markup is horrendous on Thomasville, but
to find a dealer that will negotiate is hard to come by in the San Francisco
Bay area.  Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Respond on the net, or write:

Thanks.

Try Rose Furniture in North Carolina.  Phone (800) 334-1045.  This 
reccomendation is from my sister, who has had very good luck with them.  She
tells me they are quite good when compared with the Chicago-area furniture
stores.  The gentleman she deals with is Bill Kester.  I have called and
asked for some brochures, and he was very pleasant and shipped out the
brochures very quickly.  We are planning on ordering our bedroom set in
this manner.

Good luck!
