| - I am not a huge fan of furniture shopping. However, I recently moved and needed to get a new bed. My parents bought a nice bed set and mattress from Slumberland years ago and it is still holding up quite well for them today. I went to Slumberland on the west side of Madison 30 minutes before closing. Immediately my boyfriend and I was greeted and welcomed to browse. Originally, we came into the store to look for two side tables for our living room since we were redecorating. I walked out without two side tables but a bed, box spring and bed set for $800. I am sure I made our sales person happy. It is not every day you get such a large sale at closing. The bed was on an unbelievable sale as well as the mattress. To this day, I am pleased with my purchase. Our sales person was nice (obviously since he just had an $800 sale) and didn't bombard us. Whenever we had questions, he was quick to answer them.
That being said, I must give them a 3 stars because of the delivery cost. $100 is quite a bit of money. I guess I am not sure what I believe is a "deal" or a "steal" when it comes to such prices but considering I didn't have the means to pick up and set up the bed myself, I had to pay the extra cost.
Also, their selection isn't that large but once you find something you like, you run into a problem. As with most furniture stores, if you like one item, you just can't buy THAT one item but rather, you must buy the set. It is just unfortunate furniture shopping is done this way.
While I do believe Slumberland is one of the best options for shopping for large pieces of furniture, there are some issues. Wasn't impressed with their designs and hardly anything that was on clearance was an actually clearance price.
Last night, this Slumberland in particular is a lot more "customer friendly" than the east side location. At that location, we were never greeted... not once. It was as if we were intentionally being ignored. That typically isn't the case for commission based stores...
