We went into Ashley furniture after purchasing our new home. It was the day before Christmas and they were running 50% off everything! We were thrilled to be able to find pieces that we loved, for half of what we would have paid. We ran into a little issue with our salesperson when the quote was about 200 dollars lower than the actual pricing, but we bit the bullet and went ahead anyway. Delivery was great - they were in and out. They assembled all of the furniture and everything looks and feels great. If you can catch a sale going on at this place - go for it! If you're happy to pay retail, then do that too.
