JUNE 2010 UPDATE  We were just at Designer Furniture Auctioneers and found new inventory that is superb with excellent prices.  And now, when you shop at DFA you will see signs indicating which department stores this high quality furniture came from.

Designer Furniture Auctioneers at 1830 South La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles is a liquidation outlet for high end furniture from some of the biggest and best known department stores in New York and along the east coast.  Designer Furniture Auctioneers liquidation excess inventory from the top department stores and furniture manufacturers.  The liquidation sales are caused by excess inventory and the closing of many department stores around the country, as well as the closing of some specialty furniture stores.  DFA's low prices have been dropped an extra 20% on furniture and prices on hand made and hand knotted one-of-a-kind rugs have been cut an additional 40%.  This means overall savings of up to 80% off original department store prices.  And you are getting these great discounts on new, first quality merchandise that comes direct in factory boxes -- these are not floor samples.

GET CUSTOM FURNITURE AT INTERIORS MADE EEZZY

Please be aware that it has been many months since we're heard from the folks at this store so we do not know what their current inventory or pricing is.  I suggest you call in advance.  Below is our original report.

Before I tell you about the deals and low prices on custom furniture at Interiors Made Eezzy in Culver City, let's clear up this thing about the name of the store.  Eezzy is their way of spelling easy.  And when you visit this store you'll find that it's easy to get custom furniture fast and at low cost.  Their secret is that much of their custom furniture is manufactured in Los Angeles and that cuts down on shipping costs and speeds up delivery times.  Most custom pieces can be delivered in two to four weeks, and not eight to ten weeks which other stores might quote.

Prices are low on custom furniture because this company knows how to control costs.  Yet, you can pick from many fabrics and woods and determine your own size and style for sofas, dinettes, dining tables and book cases and other furniture for bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms and throughout your home.  Interiors Made Eezzy also has kids furniture including low cost bunk beds and memory foam mattresses are available for the bunk beds too.  Check out their large bedding department featuring upscale but low cost mattress sets by Diamond Lady Americana and Englander.

OLDE GOOD THINGS FOR UNIQUE FURNITURE AND FURNISHINGS

Please be aware that it has been many months since we're heard from the folks at this store so we do not know what their current inventory or pricing is.  I suggest you call in advance.  Below is our original report.

When you shop here you will say "I've never seen anything like this!"  And unless you have traveled back in time you haven't.  Olde Good Things describes itself as an architectural salvage company that rescues old building materials, old furniture and artifacts and creates stylish furniture that will fit any home.  These are, for the most part, unique and one-of-a-kind pieces that can be the centerpiece of any home.  You'll find copper that was rescued from old buildings in New York City that was fabricated into mirror frames and table lamps.  There are tables made from salvaged wood from buildings and from the boardwalk of a seaside resort.  Table legs are made from industrial legs for machines.  The wood from toppled rare mahogony trees was cut into table tops.  Church pews were shortened and made into benches that will fit into your home.  Window frames from landmark buildings were converted into mirror frames.  Fireplace mantles from suites in magnificent old hotels were rescued and can be installed in your home.  There are old refinished chairs from soda fountains.  You'll find iron gates that were turned into tables, and rescued wood filing cabinets that are almost a hundred years old, and old time factory carts that were converted into unique cocktail tables.  And you can dress up your home with original doorknobs from buildings built in the 19th century.

Olde Good Things has two locations:  11240 West Olympic Boulevard, Los Angeles, and you can call this store at (310) 477-8444.  There is another store at 1800 South Grand Avenue in Downtown L.A. and you can call this location at (213) 746-8600.  Or go to their website at www.oldegoodthings.com for information.  Watch our video report below.

MAKE YOUR FURNITURE SHOPPING A FAMILY ADVENTURE

Please be aware that it has been many months since we're heard from the folks at this store so we do not know what their current inventory or pricing is.  I suggest you call in advance.  Below is our original report.

Bring the kids when you do your furniture shopping at this unique discounter -- because all of you will have a wonderful adventure with birds, fish, pirates, knights in shining armor, and you'll be captivated by an original 1923 Cadillac and be amazed at the pilot who survived his plane crash in the center of the furniture showroom.  What am I talking about?  It's Larry St. John & Co. Furniture Island in Gardena.  This is not your typical furniture store because when you reach the place you'll think you are entering an amusement park -- and then once you are inside you will see how affordable high quality custom furniture can be-- and this includes high end custom leather furniture also.  Check out the new custom mattress department and Larry St. John's "non-prorated warranty" which means it won't cost you a dime to get a replacement mattress during the warranty period.  And no chain store can offer a deal like that.  Overall, you will find prices up to 60% off what the big chain stores charge for furniture -- but the chains can't customize the way Larry St. John can. 

Larry St. John & Co. Furniture Island is a freeway close adventure at 18101 South Figueroa Street, Gardena.  Call them at (310) 630-5828 or on the web at www.LarryStJohn.com -- and really enjoy your furniture adventure.  Watch the video below.

AT DESIGNERS BLOOPERS A SPECIAL LIQUIDATION SALE OF BRONZES, PORCELAIN, IMPORTED FURNITURE, ART AND MORE

Designers Bloopers in Los Angeles has been holding a special liquidation sale for a giant importer of art, accessories, furniture, and designer pieces.  The liquidation sale is going on at the Designer Bloopers Showroom.  See the video below on this special sale.

In this special sale you will find Tiffany-style table lamps with a bronze base for only $375 and these sold for as much as $900.  You will love, as I did, the teak wood altar table with drawers that is only priced at $450 in this liquidation sale.  There are many bronze statues and bronze fountains that are priced at less than half of their original prices. 

I loved the solid mahogany lady's dresser with a mirror and a stool priced at only $699 in this liquidation blow-out.  A handpainted bar cabinet is priced at only $450, and an Empire-style Chinese lacquer chair with a cushion is priced at only $395 and there are many of these available.

If you've ever wanted a crystal chandelier for your home, now is your chance to get one for literally pennies on the dollar.  Some of these crystal chandeliers originally sold for $5,000 or more and in this liquidation blow-out at Designers Bloopers you will find many priced at only $1,000 each with prices discounted 60% or more.

DESIGNERS BLOOPERS

Please be aware that it has been many months since we're heard from the folks at this store so we do not know what their current inventory or pricing is.  I suggest you call in advance.  Below is our original report.

Designers Bloopers has always been one of my favorite furniture stores and over the years I showed you their deals and bargains on the news and now I am proud to have them on my Best Buys TV Show.  Watch the video below.

Here's more about Designers Bloopers.  Designers Bloopers sells custom furniture with goofs, mistakes, errors -- usually made by the designer or the factory.  For example, the shade of color on a sofa might be wrong, or a sofa that was supposed to be eight feet long was made only seven and a half feet long.  Or, you might find a dining table that was supposed to seat 12, but the factory made it large enough to only seat ten.  My favorite bloopers include sofas with the colors that were reversed-- instead of a gold sofa with brown pillows, the sofa was made in brown with gold pillows.  And when you get a blooper or goof like that, the designer has to "eat the loss," and that means the furniture goes to Designers Bloopers for liquidation at deeply discounted prices. 

You can easily save fifty percent off or more on fine custom furniture only because there was a minor error in the design.  Oh, it's a minor error to you and me, but to the client it was a disaster!  The inventory changes all the time, because goofs are made all the time.  And for the most part you are getting one-of-a-kind custom pieces here.  Fact is, when you buy a blooper, it's unlikely anyone else in the world has the the same thing.  You will also find factory samples and canceled orders, and some overproduction.

Designers Bloopers is at 12600 Washington Boulevard, Los Angeles.  This is near Culver City.  Call them at (310) 398-9396 or go to their web site at www.DesignersBloopers.com for more information.  The store is open Wednesday through Sunday.
