Porter Square New & Used Furniture

I have only been to this store once or twice, but I must say that each time, I was a bit shocked by how high the prices were. The furniture is not antique or heirloom quality at all, for the most part, and yet it is priced as if it is. The furniture is similar to what you might find at a yard sale. I had several experiences in which I would notice an item, think it was nice, go over to it and check the price and then note to myself that it simply was not as nice as they wanted it to be. They were just a bit to proud of their furniture! I think they would be able to sell far more items if they lowered their price points a little. You can tell that they new furniture was recently built and it appears to be, for the most part, unfinished (again, with more of a "finished" price tag). All in all, you might be able to find a real bargain among the high prices, but that was not my experience. Good luck! more

I went to Porter Square New and Used Furniture this past weekend. The space was small, dark and cramped - it almost reminded me something out of a horror movie. Additionally, as far as I saw, there was only used furniture in the store. The salesmen were very pushy and were not respectful of 'personal space.' However, the salesmen were nice enough to allow one of the customers to borrow a dolly to bring a bookshelf back to her apartment. Finally, the prices were a bit high for the quality of the furniture. more
