Sue629-Question about Highpoint?

20 years ago

Sue--Read your post about Highpoint. To save time when I go this summer, we are looking for contemporary style sofa and chair, like Natuzzi style, but microfiber not leather. Clean square lines, even boxy looking. The Pottery Barn/Crate & Barrel type styles without their big $ tags. Can you recommend certain showrooms we should visit and ones we can skip due to what we're looking for. You mentioned Kagan's has contemporary style. What about FurniturelandSouth? Or do we really have to visit several because they carry so many different furniture styles or are their some places we can skip all-together because they only sell traditional, colonial styles. I've searched all the local furniture stores at home and can't find much offerings in what we're looking for. Thanks for the insiders preview.

Furnitureland South has a whole room dedicated to Natuzzi, they are also the only ones in the area who feature a large selection of contemporary furniture. Most other places are pretty traditional, in style though you will find scattered among the various stores some contemporary styles. I would start with Furnitureland South. It is huge and you will need a good amount of time to get through the many rooms. Across the street from them is Drexel Heritage, Thomasville and Boyles. All have nice selections but perhaps not the style you are looking for. If you have time they are worth looking around in, cause you never know what you can find. the showrooms are very nice and easy to get around. The only other place I would recommend to look is in the mall downtown, Kagans had a contemporary showroom there at one time, not sure if they are still there, there is also another store there called Reflections. I think they have a store in High point,but I was in the one in Hickory. Very contemporary furniture. Look them up on the net and see if they have a store in HP.
also Chamber of Commerce will send you a catalogue book of all the stores and what manufacturers they carry. Have fun!

Sue--Thanks for the heads-up on FurnitureLandSouth and Natuzzi and the other contemporary showrooms. Will definitely check them out when we go and before we go. It will certainly help to narrow down the stores and not waste a lot of time looking in mostly traditional style galleries.

Sue629- thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am also heading to NC and would like to know if:

1. Does Hickory have as much of a selection as Highpoint.

2. Which carries the high end furniture lines?

3. Which companies are considered high end, quality traditional furniture?

4. If you could only get to one of these towns and you had a whole house to furnish, which town would you choose? Why?

5. Where would you stay in Highpoint? Hickory?

6. What do I need to bring with me, to be prepared so that I do not waste the visit. i only want to do this once if I can pull it off.

bnicebkind, I have alot of suggestions for shopping in NC. I have done 2 houses (Florida, new construction and New England, existing home) going to Nc for furnishings for both and learned alot It would take up a lot of space here so if you would like you can email me with an email address(not sure if that is a legal thing to do here or not but if not I can do it on site here, it will just be long) and
I can answer your questions. email to rkp524@hotmail.com and I will respond with how you should go about doing this shopping you are planning for your home.
