Each has its advantages. Just as important as planning your furniture needs is deciding on the retailer whp will best suit your requirements. It's always a good idea to check with friends who may have first-hand knowledge about dealers in your commun­ ity. The Better Business Bureau and local consumer organiza­ tions can also be of assistance. It pays to know what benefits are available when you purchase furniture from various retailers. Perhaps the most familiar is the full-service furniture store which may vary from indi­ vidually-owned businesses that have catered to local families for generations to large metropoli­ tan stores that offer special gal­ leries and interior design staffs. d" Full-service stores Full-service stores usually ex­ tend credit, provide delivery, warehousing and installation at little or no extra cost and ac­ commodate returns, refunds or exchanges. They service warranties, polish and touch up furniture upon arrival and furnish dec­ orating assistance. Personal service is .the hallmark of such stores. Furniture styles which appeal to the general tastes of that locale are displayed in attractive room settings so customers can easily relate them to their homes, If a style or color is not of­ fered on die floor, trained per­ sonnel help the consumer order from catalogs which illustrate and provide pertinent informa­ tion about furniture in virtually every style category and price range. Department stores Department stores are in­ terested in creating an air of fashion oa all floors which make them a good place to see new styles and get ideas. Furniture in tune with the latest trends is usually well-displayed to gain attention and traffic. The customer generally buys only what is available in de­ partment stores which often ex­ tend credit to regular customers 6nd include such services as de­ livery and decorating assistance in the price. Furniture chains and ware­ houses deal in volume and offer stylish, value-oriented products with-few "frills'* in the way of service. Usually, the merchan­ dise is still in shipping cartons and the customer is responsible for delivery, uncartoning and installation. The advantage is that the fur­ niture On display is immediately available with no waiting. While floor salespeople may be knowledgeable about furniture, they usually are not trained to provide decorating help. Furniture outlets and similar operations generally offer less expensive promotional type furniture, "as is" merchandise tr Anytime is showtime with video disc player Network television schedules no longer dictate viewing habits in the home. The electronics revolution now provides the viewer with the opportunity to tailor his entertainment to meet his own needs.
