A couple weeks ago, we did our first Sofa Recon at a Mohr Furniture for Less, local furniture store. Yesterday, we did our second one this time it was at RC Willey.

I want to state that we showed up the local RC Willey at 1 pm on a Thursday afternoon. My wife and I were dressed casually, we had just came from the gym. We walked through the door and was greeted by an elderly lady. This reminded us a Wal Mart, and that was where the similarity ended.

The first sofa we saw had a price tag of $999.99. This was quite different from the last place we went. There the first sofa we saw was about $600 less. The style was much different, but the quality looked about the same.

Something I have noticed is that no matter what you are looking to buy each major store will not usually have the same exact thing. The may be from the same manufacture, but the color or some feature will be different. Buying furniture from different retailers is no different.

The least expensive sofa we saw was $699.99. It was cloth and a style my wife did not want to consider.

In the course of our visit we were there maybe a half hour. We passed by two sales people. Only one, besides the greeter said hello. And she did not ask if she could help us.

I must admit that a lot of the sofas and living room sets were nice. They looked nice, but every time we looked at the price tag we found they were out of our range.

In all fairness when we got home, I went online and checked out the RC Willey website. There the least expensive sofa was $299.99 on sale from $499.99. Pick up at the store was free. However, I had to commit to purchase before I could find out what the delivery cost would be.

I know RC Willey’s has the saying, “Your Home, Your Way”, but what we have found was that it will cost you an extra hefty chunk out of your bank account.
