## Compare the complete offer

Compare the actual selling price across retailers rather than relying on a sale percentage. Ask the store about floor models, discontinued stock and delivery packages. Check the exact model and included services before treating two offers as equivalent.

## The ask that works

Ask: “What is your best complete price if I buy this piece?” Then discuss delivery, assembly, removal and any optional protection plan. Compare the revised written offer with your alternatives before deciding.

## Floor models, clearance, and timing

Inspect floor models and clearance pieces for wear, missing parts and damage. Ask for the condition, delivery arrangements, return rights and warranty in writing. Compare that package with a new item before accepting the discount.

## Online vs showroom: use both

Compare the exact model online and in the showroom, including delivery, assembly, returns and warranty. Ask the local store to match a comparable complete offer. Check outlet and open-box options on their own condition and terms.

## Questions people actually ask



## How much can you negotiate off furniture?

Ask for the best complete price and compare it with current offers for the same piece. If the price stays firm, discuss delivery, setup or removal that you would otherwise pay for.

## Should I buy the protection plan?

Read the protection plan’s covered damage, exclusions, claim process and cancellation terms. Compare the cost with repair options and care instructions before buying.

## Is the delivery fee negotiable?

Ask for delivery, setup and removal of the old piece as part of the package. Confirm access requirements and the exact services included in writing.

## When is the best time to buy furniture?

Ask the store about upcoming stock changes, floor models and clearance items in the style you want. Compare the complete price and delivery timing with other retailers.
