Hi, I've been lurking here for a few days and have gotten some really good info. In fact, I'm sold on Saloom furniture but there are only a couple of places here in Louisiana who sell it. That being said, their prices aren't the greatest. I made the mistake(?) of getting prices from Basista's and Beachler's, and they are considerably lower than what I can get here. I'm scared to order online, not from a particular company, but because of the shipping thing... One uses Star Delivery out of NC and the other uses D & D Delivery. Anyone know about these companies? Those of you experienced furniture buyers, would you take the risk to save $800???
