I am going to buy a sofa/loveseat or sectional before the end of the year. I have another thread (Impossible dream?) about what to buy and appreciate all help there.

I also have to figure out where to buy, or at least where to shop. If you could pick one store (two at the most!) in NC, SC, KY (or VA, PA, OH, WV - sheesh, we're going to be getting around!) with a big selection and good service, prices, quality, etc. Which would it be? Can you recommend a salesperson?

Our shopping time is extremely limited (by our four children), whether at home or traveling. Making a good purchase is really important, beacause I won't do it again for at LEAST five years, probably ten or more. I need quality/durability, want comfort and style, and will spend the time to find a great deal (that is the easy part). Thanks very much for any help!
