Description

Finally, a pocket guide to buying furniture that offers no-nonsense reviews of the best shops. It's the book Jennifer Litwin (author) needed the first time she went furniture shopping without being able to tell what type of furniture store she was about to walk into. That was a long time ago, and Jennifer Litwin has since become one of America's premier furniture brokers. Her book is for anyone who has ever felt intimidated by the unregulated market, and wanted a down-and-dirty guide to shopping for all kinds of furniture, all over the country. Cut to an easy-to-carry size, and sharply focused, FURNITURE HOT SPOTS will help both first time buyers, as well as the more seasoned shopper. The core of the book tells readers where to find what they're looking for, depending on where they are in the country, and how to determine if it's fairly priced. Litwin divides the nation into ten regions and provides info- packed reviews of everything from upscale urban boutiques to barn-style shops. Each seller is profiled concisely, with phone numbers and Web sites, as well as comments about the quality of the stock, the kind of items the store specializes in, and the knowledge of the sales associates. Also included is invaluable tips on how to buy at auction, the best way to navigate flea markets and chain stores of all price ranges, and great hot-spots on-line, many of which are also reviewed. This is the essential guidebook no furniture search should be without. Read more

  • Great read!
Format: Paperback
This is an easy book to love. Done all the hard work for us. Perfectly organized and written. Even if you're not traveling it’s great to appreciate so many options. Thank you Jennifer!

  • Disappointed
Format: Paperback
The Washington, DC section is only 14 pages which is short considering only 1 store is on each page and she omitted suburban MD and VA. In the intro she mentions that Bethesda and Alexandria are just a short distance away, but she doesn't list any stores. The big furniture stores are only found in MD and VA, not within DC. ... show more

  • Book with different regions of the country to look for decent furniture pricing.
Format: Paperback
I loved this book. I loved the fact that you can take this book with you as a guide when you are visiting different areas of the country. It has excellent ideas for furniture hunting which is fun and purposeful. I love finding that certain piece I will have forever and then telling the story of how I found it. I also like that Jennifer has a website, should you have any questions to any region that may have not been covered. What a concept. ♥ ♥ ♥ ... show more

  • Sooo helpful
Format: Paperback
This is an essential guide for anyone who wants to furnish their dream home but has no idea where to start. Not only is the book practical and useful, it is entertaining because of the anecdotes based on Litwin's own furniture buying experiences that are interspersed throughout the book. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever left a furniture store feeling like they could have gotten something better. ... show more
