When my wife and I first moved to Cleveland a couple of years ago, we needed furniture in a hurry and didn't have a lot of money to snag something nice. As hesitant as I was to buy used furniture, I felt like Cort had a decent selection of stuff that was in good condition and didn't scare me too bad. The staff wasn't too high-pressure and let us take our time to decide what we wanted to do. Even more, they cut us such a killer deal that we couldn't turn it down despite our hesitancy.
Since we bought the furniture, I have been satisfied with what we got - no surprises once we got it home. No funky smells, no hidden stains, nothing broken that shouldn't have been.
While I always prefer new furniture over used (unless I am dealing with antiques), I think Cort was a good place to buy from.
