We stopped at their warehouse/larger store (there is also a design center downtown) and found a large showroom full of things I'd very much like to buy. There's a clearance area off to the side that sells floor models and returns at good discounts. We were looking for some lounge-y chairs and there were options aplenty. Helping us was very knowledgeable Barb who was never intrusive and let us look around. After making the rounds, we kept coming back to one specific chair - Barb let us know they had 2 in stock from a cancelled order (most things are made to order) in our preferred color, plus they were included in their anniversary sale. SOLD!! I work on the commercial furniture side and felt that the quality here was oberall very high and the prices, for what you get, are pretty fair. It's not IKEA prices to be fair but it's also not made in China crap that will fall apart and bottom out in a few months. You'll love it if: you appreciate mid century or modern design, want a high level of quality, want to customize items. You won't like it if: you need cupholders in your furniture.

I highly recommend checking out their website to see current items in the store, they have a lot of nice pictures showcasing what's currently in stock and it's great they seem to update it regularly. Prices (but not dimensions) are also listed on the website so it's nice to be able to check out the items before you drive in to visit. Per a blog post on their website, it seems the consignment portion of their shop will be ending in 2018 to be replaced by monthly vendors - they describe it as an effort to showcase local artisans and think of it as "Etsy in real life". So that hasn't started yet but could also be neat to check out mid-spring. All in all, it's worth stopping by because they certainly have taste for nice items. You could get anything here from a wall-hanging gift for a friend to a custom painted unique dresser.

Bob's Outlet made furniture shopping a fun experience! The store itself is wonderfully quirky,…read morewith a huge selection of furniture choices. Terry (assistant) is knowledgeable, and if she wasn't sure about something, she knew exactly where to look. She's down-to-earth and genuinely honest. I have a great deal of respect for the way she answered my questions and shared her opinions whenever I asked. At my age, I can tell when someone is simply trying to make a sale, and Terry was anything but that! With our slight disabilities, it was clear she genuinely cared about helping us find furniture we could easily get in and out of, and comfortably enjoy, rather than just selling us anything. That meant a lot to us. The prices, selection, and customer assistance were far better than at other places we'd gone to, and the delivery and setup were great!! Stop in and take your time. You won't be disappointed! We're not with our new couch and recliner!

We discovered Tallulah & Stella some years ago when they were running an estate sale near our…read moreneighborhood. It was the second day, which typically means most things are half off. We went in without expectations--and we found a solid cherry dining room table with six matching chairs. The table was in mint condition and had two leaves. For $150, we had a new table--and we still have it and love it as much as when we bought it. That was eight years ago, and since then, we've found beautiful (and some times antique) furniture that was super affordable. I have since joined their website so I get email alerts to let me know when they've got a sale. Besides finding amazing furniture and other home goods as well as designer clothing, the way that they curate the merchandise makes sorting not only easy, but it is organized and respectful of the person/people who owned it previously, who I surmised have passed away. I've been to other estate sales in Madison, and items are thrown higgledy-piggledy, but the Amys and their team treat everything and everyone with respect.
