If you're shopping for top quality bedroom furniture sets, I'm sure you've noticed they're priced considerably higher than the run of the mill sets you'll find at Jordan's or Bernie and Phyls. But if you want timeless, real hardwood furniture you'll have for a lifetime, (something you'll never have to replace) then what you're really interested in is getting the best value, not the lowest price, right? My suggestion: first find the best quality furniture you can afford (here's a solid wood furniture buying guide to help with that) in the style and wood species you love.
American Made or Imported?
Second, check to see where it's made. If it's imported furniture, you probably want to keep shopping. Honestly, I rarely hear complaints about the quality of virtually any American made, solid hardwood furniture (and the more local you buy, the better chance you have of getting the craftsperson or manufacturer to stand behind the product over it's lifetime). On the other hand, there are dozens of consumer review sites filled with complaints about the imported furniture products found at big box stores like Ikea, Ashley and Bob's. Quality can be quite poor and there's little chance of getting satisfactory customer service.
How to Get the Best Furniture Value
Once you've found your favorite top quality, American made bedroom furniture, crafted of real solid hardwood, then start to work with the craftsman or retailer to get their best discount price. Remember however that American furniture involves using real, legal, sustainably harvested wood and American craftsmanship. Furthermore, US furniture makers don't typically "mark up to mark down" so you're unlikely to find "discounts up to 80%". But often there is room for some negotiation.
Buy Top Quality Furniture in Sets to Get a Volume Discount
At Vermont Woods Studios for instance, we have a standing discount of 20% on bedroom sets* plus we offer a discount on full service white glove shipping and delivery when customers are buying 3 or more pieces. Like many online retailers, we offer a coupon code (BEDROOMSET20) for customers who prefer to purchase fine furniture online (be sure to "update cart" to get the discount). Otherwise customers can give us a call or stop by our showroom to receive the discount.
So my advice, if you're shopping for the best price on high quality, real solid wood beds, chests, dressers, armoires, night stands, mirrors, blanket boxes and such is to focus on quality and style first. Find the American made bedroom furniture you love that will last a lifetime and then negotiate on price afterwards. My sense is that in doing the research you'll find most USA made fine furniture is honestly priced and retailers are looking to give both you and the craftsman a fair deal.
* Copeland bedroom sets are excluded from the 20% discount as they already carry a low price guarantee every day in our store.
