Whether you're redoing your entire home, remodeling one room or just looking for a unique piece for a special place in your home, there are a few guidelines to follow when you are shopping for consignment (or new) furniture:
- Keep a measuring tape with you.
- Make and carry a list of what you're looking for with ideal dimensions for each piece (include clearances for doorways, halls and stairways in your measurements).
- Ask whether the store delivers large pieces before you purchase them, otherwise you will need to arrange for transportation.
- Test furnishings before purchasing; sit on chairs to test for comfort, loose joints or wobbly legs. Open doors and drawers to eliminate surprises
- Ask: some stores will let you bring pieces home on approval, especially art and rugs
