What is the best site for my $ for purchasing Lee furniture?

17 years ago

Hello all;

I recently sat in and fell in love with a sofa made by Lee industries in a retail store called Newport Furnishings that is supposed to be highly discounted. They advertise as appealing to those that like the styles of Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, Storehouse, etc. They are a national company. Anyway by the time I chose my fabric (mid-grade) the sofa was priced at being around $2200.00. I found this to be pretty high. I know for a fact that their main furniture line is all of Lee's furniture line, but they are very hush-hush about that. (Probably because they know consumers will go elsewhere to find a better price!)

My question for all of you is that since I am aware of the exact style and fabric that I want, can anyone recommend a good website where I can order this sofa at a discounted price? I have read other postings on this forum that indicate Lee prices in the $1400 range which would make a huge difference for me!

Thanks for any suggestions!

Lee like many furniture manufacturers have MAP pricing (Minimum Area Pricing) that we retailers must adhere to to carry the line in our stores. You may be getting the best price. If you like the retailer and want them to continue selling the product please try buy locally, the service is better if something goes wrong.

I am in Pinellas County, but I guess it is a similar climate for roses. I have Don Juan too and it's great. Last year I planted Our Lady of Guadalupe and it is amazing for me so far. Tons of scented pink flowers. The only rose I have that is blackspot free without spraying is Louis Philippe. It is own root but has been a slow grower. My list of other roses (I still have them so they are at least somewhat good)All on fortuniana unless otherwise noted: -Gold Metal -Belinda's dream -Scentimental -Neptune -Iceberg, Burgundy *gets lots of blackspot but springs back -Chihuly -Hot cocoa -Queen Mary 2 (on Dr Huey/5 years old and still very vigorous) -Natchitoches Noisette (own root 2 yrs old) -Tiffany -Elle -Celine forestier (own root 2 years old) -St. Patrick -Souvenir de la malmaison -Cherry Parfait -Double delight (I am giving it one last chance) -Gruss an Aachen- (brand new, I don't know the rootstock) I removed these duds from my garden: -Mister Lincoln (I planted 2 of them in the same spot, the definition of insanity) -Lime Sublime (very disease prone) -About Face -Teasing Georgia

need help with my Lee sofa cushions
Q
Comments (9)
Okay, I found out my original cushions were the standard. This is also what I sat on in the store (Robb % Stucky's, although I ordered through Alan Ferguson). The cushions were terrible. I understand fluffing and turning but we had to do it EVERYTIME anyone sat down. But the biggest problem is hard to explain. The back cushions seem to be shapeless at the bottom. When you sit down, they tend to roll forwards into you. Instead of sitting down and back into the sofa, you're kind of pushing back forcefully with your shoulders to keep it from rolling into you. Almost like it is top heavy. Does that make any sense? When I take the cushions out of the case, they look fine. I can't quite figure out what is wrong with them. Ok, I contacted Alan Ferguson who contacted Lee. They sent me (free) a replacement set of the extra firm cushions which was very nice of them. However, same problem. Way squishy, rolling forward. Can't sink into them. I contacted them again and got a nasty email back. They were very short with me and insisted that if I "MAINTAINED" my cushions I would have no problem. They also described maintaining as turning and fluffing. I do that everytime I sit down. Should that really be necessary? My sofa looks like a slide. The seat cushions slope towards the floor, probably because you can't sit all the way back due to always fighting the rolling back cushions! Sorry this is so long but I really am at my wits end. I am not a rude or unreasonable person. I would be happy to pay to fix this problem if I only knew what to do. I know I am too sensitive but was hurt by the snotty email. Like I was being a pain in the *** when I have tried my best to be polite. Any advice please?

This question is for Maryanne3 concerning the wedge sofas. I am interested in the Lee wedge sofa style 7030 but cannot find anyone that has the schematics. I have the overall measurements from the company but I need some more information. I have a very small room and this is important to know before I order. I need to know the measurements for all angles such as from the arm to the back on the first angle, then the length of the "middle" angle and then the length of the last angle. This would really help me! thanks

What Is The Best Palm Tree Seed Site
Q
Comments (20)
In the past when RPS updated their website (it is now nicer but much slower to browse) my account was deleted with all my past orders. They did not move any past orders or any customer accounts to their new site. The seeds that take about 2 months to arrive since they wait a month to charge a card and then another month to deliver arrive continuously partly or mostly not viable, shattered or they germinate in very low percentage such as 3% or none. I did have some very limited success with RPS seeds in the past, but a lot of misidentifying is going on, even now I realized the couple of palms that germinated from the batch are different species than I purchased. Take your chances. If you have no other source for specific seeds, take a chance and good luck. I am now ordering seeds, germinated seedlings and palms directly from suppliers even that I am just a collector and even if it is harder to achieve that.

Many furniture stores will beat another stores price. I would check for your best deal locally. I don't know if the savings in shipping/gas/travel/time would really be all that much in the end for you. Although it is definitely worth investigating. From what I understand the $2200 is pretty standard for Lee. Good luck with your purchase. I know you will love your Lee sofa.

TRy LExFurniture.Com, RobbinsFurniture.Com

I have no idea if they carry Lee but they have good prices. I have never ordered from either but people from here have ordered from Lex and I know someone IRL who ordered from Robbins in Minnesota

I got a fabulous price at Alan Ferguson's in NC. I dealt with Patrick - he was very very nice and I highly recommend him. Shipping a sofa from NC to NY costs about $150 but considering that I'll save over $500, its worth it to me. You can't go wrong with Lee.

I paid a lot more for that for my Lee wedge sofas (custom upholstery). I did a lot of hunting and checked prices at a few places and could not beat Macy's (on sale, no tax, and a friend got me the employee discount). In the San Francisco bay area, there is a major furniture store with most brands and their standard price is 55% of retail. They cannot carry the Lee brand because Lee doesn't want it discounted that much. So, good luck getting much of a break on it.

I also ordered mine from Don Lamor in Hickory, NC. The sofa retailed for $2200 locally, not including fabric protection, tax or delivery. I was able to get it from DL for $1809 total...that was with fabric protection and delivery and with no tax. I told my local place this price and the closest they could come was $1900, again not including tax, delivery and fabric protection.

That said, I'm still waiting on my sofa. The four-month mark is next week. It has come in to their store and I'm awaiting shipment. I hope to get it in a week or two.

I am trying to purchase the Lee Industries Shearling chair as this is a pretty standard item. I dont want to pay $3200 for the chair. Could not locate Don Lamor on web thus do I have any other options that might be more reasonable for this Lee Industries chair? I understand they dont have any outlet thus not sure how they dispose of season merchandise or change in style. Appreciate any direction.
