I am planning on buying a large piece of furniture. How can I be sure it will fit into my home?
The best way to be sure about whether your furniture will fit into your home is to measure your room and any doorways/halls or other paths the furniture will need to go through in order to get to your desired room. Then check the furniture’s specifications on our site, which should include the dimensions in most cases. If it does not, please call one of our store locations and ask an associate to obtain measurements for you.

How are the delivery charges figured?
Delivery charges are based on whether the address being delivered to is considered local or not. One-piece and single-mattress set deliveries are discounted. If the order total exceeds $10,000, there is a higher rate for delivery. Orders over $20,000 must be custom quoted by management. Orders that are not local have flat rates based on distance.

Some readers
Why do you have delivery fees?
We’re sure you’ve heard the phrase, “nothing is really free.” We think a better question is why some other retailers or e-tailers don’t have delivery fees. The fact is that delivery is an extra cost that no furniture retailer is able to absorb without compensating for it somewhere. Most other companies that offer free delivery only do so after raising the price of the item, so really, you are still paying for that delivery without realizing it.

If the item is not in stock and can be readily ordered, it usually takes about 5-7 business days. If the item is not in stock and is on backorder, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
