Furniture outlets near Miami?

June 24, 2005 3:04 PM

Can anyone recommend a good furniture outlet in the Miami area? I'm looking for a couch but can't afford a very expensive one, and am new to the Miami area, so I don't know where to look.

Burdines used to have a great outlet, but I have been out of Miami for a few years and recently heard that burdines was bought by Macys. Try rooms to go (if they are still there) or the rooms to go outlet.

Best answer: There's a Room To Go, and Rooms to Go Outlet just outside of Miami. Hialeah has plenty of cheap furniture stores as well. Within a few weeks of living in Miami, I'm sure you'll get some junk mail, and often times there's some ads for furniture stores selling couches and what not for some pretty unbelievable prices. Picking up the Sunday Miami Herald and you'll see a couple ads as well.

There's a City Furniture in Miami as well, which is right across a parking lot from Rooms To Go. Both has a closeout section, if I remember correctly.

You can get some good deals on inexpensive (but still good quality) furniture at Macy's, particularly if you watch the sale flyers. If you are in a hurry, though, that might not be feasible.

Otherwise, every day in my mailbox I get circulars from various furniture outlets and warehouses all over Miami-Dade county. There are also quite a few places selling decent used furniture, but finding the right one can take some time.

(As an aside, Burdines wasn't bought by Macy's, the name was just changed. They were and are both owned by the same parent company. And a disclaimer, as well, since I work for that company.)

You can sometimes find new furniture very cheap at second hand stores (Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc.).

necessitas - There used to be a Burdines Furniture outlet in Fort Lauderdale, but that went away about 2-3 years ago.

stevis - I left miami in 2001. All my info is dated. Is the design store still in coral gables? It was on biltmore way, a few doors down from the 550 biltmore way building. They have (had?) awesome stuff and great prices.
