How good is furniture from Sears?
Filed Under Shopping
MoM2TwO asked:
I am in need of a dinning table, but just can’t spend the money needed for actual furniture stores - I looked at slumberland and Becker, but just can’t dish out that kind of cash. Is it worth buying something at Sears, or am I better off getting something from Craigslist that is a quality secondhand?

I can’t vouch for Sears quality, but buying secondhand is a serious crap shoot. You don’t want a table that smells funny, or is dirty, breaking, etc.
I would prefer a 2nd-hand solid wood (not veneer) table than a veneer new piece. on the downside, you’ll spend a fair amount of time driving around to look at stuff you won’t buy. It doesn’t matter if it has matching chairs - eclectic is OK.
