Think about the look and style you want to stay focused while shopping.
Take some important first steps before shopping for dining furniture. Think about the style of furniture you like, and measure the room so you don't buy furniture that is not the right size for its intended location.
Explore Online for Styles and Sources
Before visiting stores, go online to visit retail websites. This will give you the opportunity to narrow to styles and price ranges to help you focus when you actually visit stores.
Use Direct Mail Catalogs for Inspiration
Look for stores that sell the types of designs you like and get on their mailing lists to receive a printed catalog. Pull pages from catalogs and post them on your dining room wall to visualize how the furniture will achieve the look you are after.
Visit Retail Showrooms to See Current Styles
Visit retail showrooms to see what's new and current. Ask salespeople about upcoming sales or closeouts. Ask for permission to take pictures so you can review your shopping choices. If money is an issue, be sure to check out "scratch and dent" outlet stores for bargains that may only need a bit of repair.
Monitor Television Advertising for Sales
Pay attention to special sales advertised on television by major furniture retailers. These opportunities will allow you to save on prices or perhaps use the savings to upgrade and selections.
