Miranda loves this affordable furnishings store because she can shop online before visiting the showroom. “I did everything by Internet and e-mail,” she says. Just as conveniently, all of her furniture purchases were delivered fully assembled.

“It’s like being a kid in a candy store,” exclaims Miranda of shopping at the off-price chain. “There are so many unique things.” She favors the selection of decorative accessories, such as vases and throws.
