We decided to tackle the furniture finding project again this past weekend. Saturday we went to Stacy’s baby depot and saw some really cute things, but all were very expensive. Sunday we headed back to Babies R Us thinking we would go ahead and order one of the sets that we had narrowed it down to…and that had gone on sale last weekend. Needless to say, we were not the only ones planning to take advantage of the sale…everything we liked was on backorder or sold out! UGH!
We stood in the middle of the store contemplating whether or not we should spend the extra bucks at the higher end places or just pick something less expensive there that we weren’t really a fan of. About that time, the sales lady asked if we’d seen the set in the back of the corner that was on sale – we hadn’t so we decided to check it out.
Right off the bat, I really liked the armoire, wished the dresser was a little bigger, and the crib wasn’t our favorite, but still nice. Then I saw the price tag – it had already been deeply discounted, then there was another 20% discount, bringing the total to $840 for the three piece set! It suddenly looked much more appealing!
After further inquiry we found out the armoire and dresser we’d get would be the floor model but they would be able to order a new, in-the-box crib for us. So, being the bargain shopper I am (I can thank my Arab father for that trait) I immediately asked if we could get an additional discount for the floor models. Sure enough, she agreed to another 15% off! Oh, and if we applied for a credit card, we could save another 10%.
When it was all said and done, we walked out of there with a three piece Bassett Furniture set (crib, armoire, and dresser) that normally sells for $1600 for only $720!!! Now you see why I say we stole from them!
Your father talked Randy into helping him pick up the furniture on Monday. They loaded up the armoire and dresser, drove it over, and unloaded both pieces into your freshly painted room. IT LOOKS AWESOME and we don’t even have the crib yet. I feel very relieved…and accomplished.
BTW…The crib converts in to a full sized bed, so you better really like this stuff…because it’s yours until you go off to college.
