MM-friendly furniture stores in DC area?

[aspentosh]

We're looking to buy a large sectional (ideally U-shaped) in the coming weeks. The only place I've found that has them for under $3k is IKEA...

Any other suggestions?

This is going to depend on what chains you have in your area. If you want to post your location (edit the subject, perhaps?), you'll likely get better answers.

Good idea

JCPenny has some Pottery Barn knockoff slipcovered sofas that are moderately priced. If you're near Belfort out in Sterling it's worth checking out, though I don't know their prices for sofas, but their "Basics" store across the street from the main show room has some good prices on things.

We have the Ikea Ektorp regular sofa and have been pretty happy with it. The best part is that the slipcovers are so inexpensive and surprisingly good quality. The cost of the entire sofa was cheaper than replacement slipcovers at a lot of stores.

Ours was around 3K, in black leather. Can't remember the exact price...

We got it at Desi Innovations on Rockville Pike (near Ethan Allen). It was special order, so it took a while to come in.

P.S. - I approved you on the DC board last night! Come join us there, too!

Thanks for the info! We are fairly close to that Belfort area, so we'll stop by there, too.

I was impressed with the Karlstad sectional we tested at IKEA, but wanted to check other places, too.

No advice on where to go, but I am still scarred by our experience at Marlo and would stay far away from there.

We got a bunch of stuff from Room Store a few years ago.
