THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME FURNITURE
About us
Abby Slayton opened "There's No Place Like Home...Furnishings" after buying a home and discovering the furniture she wanted was outrageously priced. Finding out that most furniture stores charge from 300%-700% over the wholesale price, she decided to open her own store and keep the mark-up down by keeping the overhead low.

"In 22 years I have never experienced a client like this. I called her to send another technician out and needed to know if Thursday or Friday worked best for her. She refused to tell me. I said it needed to be scheduled with the repair person and still, she would not tell me. I apologized to her and told her We could try and make another repair or we could replace the item but needed the technician to make fill out a replacement form and take specific pictures to send to the mfg. She called me a BIT(H and said just forget it...she would rather start writing bad reviews. Most of the reviewers words are untrue, and I feel nothing will make her happy. Yes, the drawer glide was bent, so we ordered and replaced it. Yes, A screw caused the inside bottom of the drawer to split, so we were either going to repair or replace the cabinet. She would not give us the opportunity to do this. After the name calling I told her I would call her later after she calmed down! She was extremely threatening towards me. She is a scary person."
"Thank you for taking the time to review our business. We strive to provide a large selection of brands and styles to meet our customer's needs. I wish we could have saved you more off the MSRP on the items you purchased...in some cases we are 40%-60% off those prices and other times we are about the same as you would find on internet sites that do not have a brick and mortar retail space. It really depends on the manufacturer you are ordering from. Please let us know if there is anything we can help you find for your home from floor to ceiling! Again, I truly appreciate you taking the time to write about There's No Place Like Home Furniture."
"Hello [member name removed] I am happy you took time to review There's No Place Like Home. Because we keep 1 sample item from each of our 700+ Mfg's, we usually do not have the specific items most customers are wanting in our showroom. I wish we could , but then my prices would be as much as the usual retail prices. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to make your shopping experience better. I truly appreciate your business and want you to be happy with your purchases! Thank you again."
We told Sue, our sales person/designer, what we were hunting for and she gave us several catalogs to look thru, based on the style I was describing to her.
We were told to write down the item #'s of the ones we liked. In the Legacy Classic catalog I found the bedroom I had been searching for and we called Sue over. She looked up the prices and I was completely shocked with the quote, as it was half what I thought it would be. She read the construction details and then pulled up a large image of the bed on her computer. This was the Glen Cove series in a distressed cream finish. We decided on the King size bed, a bedside table, a night stand, dresser, mirror and lingerie chest.
We were told that the pieces would arrive in 4-6 weeks but we were notified in 3 weeks that all had come in.
We were in the middle of painting our room and were not ready for the furniture pieces. We were advised to call when we were ready for delivery. Once the furniture arrived, we were so pleased with the look, the quality, and the price that my husband and I both have referred several people to this great shop.
If you are in need of furniture, this is the place to go! The choices are unbelievable, the prices unbeatable, and the staff were so friendly (including Toby) that it was truly a pleasure doing business here!
"We are so happy that your experience was review "worthy"! We are always happy to help our clients find the perfect furniture for their home, and save them money to boot! Please keep us in mind for your next home décor purchase. We are now open until 9 PM on Saturdays...please stop in and enjoy a glass of wine and see the new mfg. samples that have arrived!"
"Thank you, [member name removed], for choosing There's No Place Like Home to furnish your fabulous home. Our entire staff enjoyed working with you ...from our sales team to the delivery drivers. We hope to see you soon! Come by any Saturday evening and enjoy a glass of wine and hors d'oeuvres. We'd love to see you!"
Because the choices are so endless, it does get a bit overwhelming. We spotted a Pulaski catalog and knew there was a set from that mfg we really liked. They logged onto a computer and pulled up a picture of the set from Pulaski's website so we could see it in greater detail than was shown in the catalog. This website also had construction details and warranty information.
But we still browsed thru a few more catalogs, but kept going back to the Pulaski set. When we had settled on this one, we were offered a glass of wine and there were trays of hors d'eouvres in different areas of the store we invited ourselves to enjoy.
The purchase was completed and I mentioned we would also be needing furniture for our dining room, so a few more catalogs were set in front of me that had dining room furniture in the same style as the bedroom set we had purchased.
We told them we did not have anymore time that day and would be back in once the bedroom set had been delivered.
We recieved this set yesterday afternoon and the 2 delivery men were fast and set the furniture up where I asked them to.
We are heading back today to start the dining room process!
This is a relaxing way to furnish your home....and the savings are phenominal.
Again, don't be in a hurry to purchase a piece of furniture that you can bring home that day....the orders are placed with the mfg and do take a while to arrive. We were told that our furniture would arrive in 4-6 weeks, and it took the full 6 weeks but we were prepared so it didn't cause any grief.
The only down side of the entire experience was that they seem to be understaffed....my sales person had to keep leaving me to greet other customers. But this actually gave me time to think about the purchase without influence from a sales person.
At one point, my husband was invited to try out a massage chair that went thru a 15 or 20 minute series of massage, which put him down for a while....during this time I choose the 3 top bedroom sets and when he arose from the massage, I let him pick from those 3. I appreciate the choices I have to furnish our new home and again, the savings are an added bonus. I have told family members and co-workers about this store and thought I would go "public" on Angie's List!
"Thank you, [member name removed], for all your kind words. It is such a pleasure doing business with someone so well informed and appreciative! Again, I want to thank you for your business and your review! Your furniture choices were impeccable! I know you will enjoy your beautiful pieces for years to come! On a different note...Please let your sister know that I found a home for the 2 little kittens she spotted behind the restaurant. I know she was concerned! We hope to see you soon! Stop in on any Saturday morning for a Mimosa and fresh pastries. Would be great to visit with you. Bring pictures of your beautifully furnished rooms. I'll post them on Facebook, if you don't mind!"
