If you want the top brands, you want to go to Cabot House. There are many locations in MA and one in Portsmouth, NH. I have been to the Natick and Burlington locations and Natick was the larger of the two. Cabot's carried Century, Hendedon, Hickory Chair, Baker, etc. when I lived up there (1995-2005). I used to go there just to look and dream about the day when I could buy what they had! It is located right near Jordan's Furniture, which aways made me laugh. Jordan's is very gimicky and a little cheesey. Cabot's is a stark contrast. Very close to Cabot is a Stickly store. It's on Speen Street in Natick.

I'm assuming that the local store you purchased your Rowe sofa from is not a "Storehouse" store. Storehouse is owned by Rowe, and as part of Rowe's bankruptcy restructuring, they are closing and liquidating inventory in all Storehouse locations. For any other local stores, I agree with several other points made in previous responses: 1) Rowe is manufacturing and is likely to deliver your furniture. 2) Your business is only with your local store, not Rowe. 3) If you are tired of waiting, ask your store about refunding the deposit or giving it back to you as a credit to use on another purchase, and if that doesn't work, dispute the charge with your credit card company. Good luck with your situation. All the bankruptcies in the furniture industry are making me nervous about buying furniture.

I live in Atlanta and there are lots of choices for local furniture shopping. All of the most well known have been mentioned, but what really matters most is what particular pieces you need, what style you prefer, your price range and whether you're looking for complete sets of furniture like bedrooms and dining rooms. There is a company called Norwalk that will help you design a custom sofa, chairs and such from their many frame styles and fabric selections. You'll find them online too. If you have a lot of decorating to do and a budget that's healthy you can "hire" a decorator for the day who will take you to ADAC where you'll see showrooms from hundreds of manufacturers and designers and your decorator or designer can place an order for you. To the trade only so a designer or decorator friend could also get you in the doors. Many people swear by the Macy's furniture showroom at Perimeter Mall. Always a sale going on there. Fans of Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware make the trip to Dawsonville, about 50 minutes straight up 400 to the N. Ga. outlet mall where you'll find furniture from both of these stores at outlet prices. (Williams Sonoma too). Rooms to Go and other furniture and mattress manufacturers have spaces on the access road outside the perimeter on I85. There are also fans of the BrandSmart program where I believe you buy a year's membership for a couple of thousand dollars and can then shop their mammoth showrooms and catalogs for big savings, reportedly near manufacturer's cost not retail. No personal experience with this to share though. Ballard's Backroom is located in the well known and popular Howell Mill District, a favorite of decorators and designers. B.B. is the catalog outlet center for Ballards that everyone knows of online and through their catalogs. In this same industrial area you'll find great shopping for upholstery fabric and Forsyth Fabrics also offers a wonderful range of furniture in their showroom that you can order and have covered in your choice of fabric or leather. MUST go to this place if you're in town. Shop this district for great deals on all design and decorating needs. Rugs, Nancy Braithwaite's baby clothing and room furnishings, Gorgeous French and English Antiques, silk traders, the Curtain Exchange, Decorative and garden pieces from Hill Street- you'll find everything here for your home so be prepared to shop all day for days and wear comfortable clothes and shoes! My personal style is classic modern/traditional. Barbara Barry, Baker Archetype Martha Stewart for Bernhardt etc. so my personal favorite store in this neighborhood for furniture, lighting and design inspiration is Bungalow Home. An incredible store in every way. Right on Howell Mill. If you like this style too you'll LOVE Bungalow Home. There are many shopping options open to you so my suggestion would be to get a group of friends together and come in to ATL. for a couple of days to shop the options and share opinions on all the finds you'll come across. Big Fun!

Love these suggestions!!! If I do shelving (such as this) would you suggest we do it symmetrically (on each size of the credenza) or just on one side?

I guess you could say I like that the space is inspired by MCM design but is not literally MCM like it's the set of the Dick Van Dyke Show.
