Don't ever purchase any large piece of furniture without first measuring it. Knowing where you will show it means making sure it will fit there!

When buying new furniture or used furniture, make sure all the drawers and cabinet doors work properly before purchasing. Make sure the cabinet doors close securely and open easily.

Check Craigslist for deals. There's often a lot of furniture that's given away for absolutely nothing, other than your expense to pick it up! That's a huge deal. Why do people give furniture away?

Consider your furniture colors carefully before buying. If you choose bold colors, you may have trouble matching your decor in the future. Make sure that your larger furniture items are neutral colors. You can use smaller, less expensive pieces to add color or personality.

 

Do not let a salesperson convince you to buy a piece of furniture you are not comfortable with. As most sales people do, those who sell furniture want to make the most commission, so they will try to convince you to purchase the most expensive item. Chances are, some cheaper items are better for your needs.
