Our experience with Bob's has been very positive for the most part. We have purchased several pieces of furniture over the years and have never had a problem with quality. Of course the price is great and the Pit holds some fabulous bargains most with very liveable defects e.g. King size his/hers memory foam mattress and split box spring for $500 because box spring cover had black mark on it. Some things to know BEFORE you go, the salespeople work on commission. They will grab you the second you walk in the door and follow you around UNLESS you tell them not to.

We bought a sofa table from scratch and dent...no problems with that, the price was right. We also bought a sofa and chaise (the concord set) about 2 years ago and feel not only are they extremely uncomfortable but you just feel as though they will fall apart any day now. 3years max total lifespan full time use. The microfiber does not repel stains as they claim. The fabric has ripped at the seams on the chaise... When you go to the store, just lift up the edge of what you are looking at and you call feel how little materials are actually used to construct them...weak, cheap and definitely not durable. They also do not negotiate prices (at least not the store location we go to). We were able to go to another popular chain furniture store (R+F) who does negotiate with you and for 2-300 more, got a much more solid set of couchs. Even though the prices are low at Bobs, you might be surprised that spending just a bit more will get you a LOT more in quality. Good luck!

I, like Cindy, don't like the pressure sales. They do accost you at the door and if you tell them you just want to browse, they linger in the background and come over if they see you looking at something for longer than a few seconds with a sales pitch. I find the lighting in the store is very soft and somewhat low, therefore you cannot truly see the furniture. The tables I purchased, which I thought were glass and dark stained wood, are actually glass and painted tin. The delivery staff did not attach the headboard to the bedframe, he pushed the headboard behind the bed and did not leave the screws. There were hundreds of those little static balls covering my living room where they put the furniture together. What a mess to clean up. Price was good, but then again, sometimes you do get what you pay for and I will not purchase from them again. I would rather pay a little more for better quality.

We are very private people and would rather shop alone until we have questions. We really don't like how a sales person accosts you right when you walk in the door and then they follow you around. The minute I look interested they are right there. Sometimes I'm just looking around and then I start to feel guilty that I'm wasting their time. However, I do like the selection and the prices.

There are some really good deals at this furniture store. The dining room set we purchased is great. We were able to have it delievered in three days and thats a plus for me. The only thing about this store is when you see something you have to grab it when you can or you will be out of luck. I am not sure if they have a limited inventory or what. Overall the experiences we have had at this store are positive.

Bought a bedroom set from Bobs about 5 years ago. They claimed it was 100% Italian lacquer, ya right...its painted paper that falls off in a couple years. You can literally peel it off with your hand. The chest that we bought fell apart. The drawers fell off. My bedroom looked like a junk yard. I called them to tell them how unhappy I was and all they can say was oh well; your warranty is expired. No apologizies or anything. Very rude and d0nt care about the customer. Dont shop here, furniture is a piece of junk!

I find the furniture at Bob's to be not the highest quality, which should not have surprised me as that is not their aim. The deals are good, but I would not buy anything that you would want to last. Good stuff for a first apartment maybe. I do not love huge stores like this, so perhaps I am biased to begin with. But they do have deals and offer delivery...

No high pressure sales tactics and the prices are competitive. In the back of the store, there is an area called the pit where you can find mismatched items, scratch and dent, etc. at bargain basement prices. No gimmicks!
Everyone loves the snack area - complimentary candy, cookies and lemonade. They have several cafe tables to sit down and relax and enjoy a snack.
