Wholesale Furniture Collections

When purchasing large items, consumers always like to make sure that they are paying a great price for what they are obtaining and the same goes for wholesale furniture collections. Great looking furniture is almost always a large investment and we understand why consumers want to make sure that a fair price is being paid for their bedroom, dining room or living room sets. In order to purchase wholesale furniture, one must have a furniture store or stores and visit High Point Market or other furniture markets in order to speak with furniture manufacturers directly.

Quality Wholesale Furniture Collections

Furniture manufacturers have a few requirements that they go through in order to qualify accounts. The first question that they ask is about your location. They want to know where your store is or will be in order to make sure that you are not invading another store’s territory. There have been cases where different stores where opening literally next door from one another and manufacturers have to decide which store will better represent their brand.

Furniture manufacturers also want to know a bit about your store. They want to know about how large your showroom floor is and also how much space you will be dedicating to their pieces. Certain lines have requirements on the amount of pieces that you order and that must be displayed in order to make them a bit more exclusive. We oftentimes see this with collections from Century, Drexel Heritage, Bernhardt, Lexington and Schnadig.

If the location is good and showroom size is adequate, then you can finally discuss which collections or items will be placed on your initial order with them. Most of the large manufacturers require initial orders of about $10,000 to $25,000. It is also common for some manufacturers to require that you sell a yearly minimum of their pieces in order to keep the line open. Their goal is for furniture store owners to push their products and have consumers choose them over similar products from different brands.

Top Designers and Wholesale Furniture Collections

Interior designers often request for us to pick up certain brands. If we receive a few requests for a specific brand that we deem to meet our showroom needs, then we’ll definitely pursue it. There are thousands of different furniture brands out there and it is impossible for one store to have them all. Our rule is that if interior designers and consumers are mentioning a brand, then they must certainly be doing something right. We’ll start by visiting their showroom floor in one of the large furniture markets and requesting for one of their sales representatives to provide us with a bit of information on the company and its pieces. During their presentation, information like the one listed above is discussed and great information is learned about the product and also on different trends.

Wholesale furniture collections manufacturers are definitely very good at researching future furniture trends and coming up with pieces that will hopefully woe consumers into purchasing them. Collections are being discontinued all of the time in order to make room for new collections. This can cause headaches to some consumers that are looking to find a discontinued item. Our company receives more than a few phone calls and a whole bunch of e-mails each week from consumers looking for discontinued pieces. Once the manufacturers discontinue a product, they usually slowly sell it out until it is no longer available. Once this happens, the search is on for those consumers who are looking to find an extra chair or nightstand for the dining or bedroom set.

We are more than happy to assist those who are looking to open up their own store with ideas and guidelines based on our experience. Great wholesale furniture collections are hard to find but it is certainly a dream come true for those of us who love this industry!

Wholesale Furniture

When shopping for furniture, everyone wants to pay wholesale furniture pricing. We believe that this goes for any type of large item that we purchase for our homes including kitchen appliances and electronic equipment. The word wholesale brings ridiculously low prices to mind and that is why so many consumers are enticed by it. When it comes to furniture or appliances, the only way in which to obtain wholesale pricing is by opening up your very own furniture store. As with any other industry, furniture stores obtain different levels of pricing based on their sales volumes. A self standing store will obtain one level of pricing while a chain of stores will surely obtain a lower level of pricing. Different stores offer varied levels of pricing and service. We strongly believe that the goal for all consumers should be to obtain a good mix of great service and also good pricing. When pricing is too good to be true, service is usually not so good. When pricing is very high, great service should be expected.

Can You Too Get Access To Wholesale Furniture?

Obtaining wholesale furniture pricing is nearly impossible for regular consumers unless you are great friends with a furniture store owner or he or she owes you a few favors. For most consumers, we recommend that you find a store which carries a good mix of product and has a salesperson that is willing to work with you on pricing and also provides you with great service. If great service is provided to you, please make sure to acknowledge this person or interior designer for this and give them the order. We have seen too many interior designers do all of the work only to lose the sale to another company for only a small pricing difference. Communication is key and good communication will certainly make your home decorating experience a much better one!

How To Benefit From Wholesale Furniture Pricing?

If you are purchasing in large volumes, say for a hotel, motel or 5 or more model homes, you should definitely request wholesale furniture pricing from your vendor. We can certainly assist you with these types of projects and have been assisting purchasers with these sorts of projects for many years. There are many aspects that one must think of when purchasing wholesale furniture. One of the first questions that we ask in these types of cases is for the time frame of delivery. Some projects have a 6 month to 1 year time frame while others only give us six weeks to turn all pieces in. All projects can be fun but the wider the time frame, the less stress that everyone will go through in putting the project together. For projects in Florida, we have to receive all pieces and fully inspect them before the time of delivery. We then have to send our trucks and delivery personnel to the delivery site and they have to bring all pieces inside the house and fully set them up for our clients. For larger projects, we usually request the designer to be present at the time of delivery so that all pieces can be fully inspected and signed for at the time of delivery. We strongly recommend that all pieces be inspected and that if any of them have any structural damage such as nicks, scratches, cracks, dents or bumps to be refused. All furniture pieces should also be inspected for defects. All upholstery pieces should be inspected for rips or stains.

The only reason why we would not refuse an item at the time of delivery is if it is missing a smaller part; say a handle on a drawer or a shelf pin on a bookcase, which can easily be sent out to the client via FedEx or UPS.

Obtaining wholesale furniture is certainly a nice idea but for regular consumers, we strongly recommend that you avoid this idea and settle for a bit higher pricing but much better service.

Wholesale Home Decor

We often receive calls from consumers who are searching for wholesale home decor. As with any other good, consumers always want to obtain the best possible item for the lowest possible price. How does one go about obtaining true wholesale price? Well, you would have to offer the manufacturer a way to distribute their product and the way to do so is usually by having your very own furniture store. Manufacturers also provide pricing scales based on the amount of sales that you do. The more you sell, the better pricing that one gets. It is common for some manufacturers to also sell pieces directly to interior designers who set up accounts with them with usually a large initial order and by keeping a yearly number of sales. Seems there’s more to wholesale home decor than meets the eye!

Unbeatable Pricing With Wholesale Home Decor

Consumers might be able to obtain wholesale pricing on some items after they have been discontinued or on some pieces that have been sitting in a showroom floor for too long and that must be sold in order to make room for new pieces. These pieces are not usually the ones that most consumers are going after and this is why these great deals must be offered in order to get them to move. Wholesale home decor is therefore not entirely impossible!

In order to obtain true wholesale pricing, you must become really good friends with the owner of the furniture store and get him or her to give those prices to you or open up a store yourself. Both of these seem like too much work so we would suggest that you settle for second best, which is designer pricing. Designer pricing is much lower than retail pricing and we are sure that you’ll be happy with that.

Interior designers work in a variety of ways. The most common way to work is by charging either an hourly fee of a project fee. Most designers obtain special pricing structures from stores and almost all of them pass on their savings to their clients. Others obtain a percentage of the amount of the sale from the store and sometimes from the client. This allows interior designers to make a living. However, depending on the volume of your total purchase it may be entirely possible to arrive at wholesale home decor price levels after all. It’s a matter of some creative negotiation!

Wholesale Home Decor – It’s Not Just About The Price

We find that consumers give up too many things when shopping for the absolute lowest price. There are two things that should never be done when purchasing furniture. The first one is paying with cash, check, certified check or money order. Many companies out there request this sort of payment and this puts the consumer at risk. We always ask consumers the following questions: what happens if your furniture never shows up? What happens if the furniture is damaged? What happens if the store goes out of business? What happens if your product is defective? By paying with a credit card, you have a quick and easy way to get your funds back if the store is not solving an issue with your furniture. We understand that many furniture stores do not accept credit card because they have been burnt in the past by one or more abusive consumers but they have to understand that this is part of the business. Credit card companies act as a judge when there is an issue between a consumer and a business and after paperwork and information is provided, they provide a solution to the conflict. Whether you’re able to achieve wholesale home decor prices or not, this advice still applies.

We also greatly encourage all consumers to receive the items within their homes and fully inspect at the time of delivery. This type of service is called “White Glove” deliveries. We cringe when we hear terms like “curbside delivery” or “door side delivery.” All of your items should be fully inspected by you at the time of delivery in order to ensure that they are in perfect shape.

Wholesale home decor may not be entirely possible for a private individual. Obtaining true wholesale home decor prices is unlikely unless you are a furniture store owner. Work with your local furniture retailer and we are sure that they will give you a great price and hopefully service that you’ll truly love. Our store will not give you wholesale home decor prices but we’ll surely provide you with practically unbeatable prices and great service!
