When you visit High Point, you will be shopping and purchasing home furnishings from a retailer. There are no huge warehouses stocked with ready-to-ship furniture. Nor can you deal directly with furniture manufacturers. When you find the perfect pieces of furniture and accessories, the retailer will place your order with the manufacturer. Shipping times vary with an average of 8-12 weeks before delivery. Some specialty, exclusive and handmade furniture lines can take over a year to build.
Shopping for home furnishings in High Point is a pleasure. No one will follow you around. All furniture showrooms have sales/design representatives available to assist you when you need them. You are free to leisurely walk through the myriad of furniture displays and take notes on brand names and styles that catch your eye. When you are ready, ask for a representative to assist you on pricing. Perhaps, if your time is limited, you may want a sales/design representative to help you when you enter a showroom. The choice is yours.
Most furniture retailers open at 8:30 a.m. and close by or before 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Some retailers have extended hours on Thursday and Friday; all showrooms are closed on Sunday. The showrooms are least crowded on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and sales/design representatives are more likely to be able to devote more time and personal attention to you on those days.
It will be helpful to describe furniture outlets to clear up misconceptions. An outlet is a store usually operated by a furniture manufacturer or a local retailer. An outlet generally offers discontinued, damaged or one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture. What you see is what you get. A year from now you will not be able to order that extra piece of furniture from a discontinued group. You cannot custom order furniture from an outlet like you can from a retailer. Outlet prices can be very good, but not always. Shipping times to your home are rather short since you are buying off the floor. Outlets are great places to find odds n ends, accent pieces, or to furnish a vacation home.
