We looked at so many places before we could found a set we both liked.
Since you already know you need a california king that narrows it down some. What colors do you like?
What pieces do you need, based on the size of your bedroom as well. Remember things look a lot smaller in stores than they would in your apartment.

You dont take it home today, not at any of the places I went to anyway. We actually bought our furniture last year and are having it delivered next week. It depends, some stores schedule immediate delivery when you order, others call you when the furniture comes into there warehouse.
WE SAVE ALOT WITH 0% financing and no payments til after the wedding. THANK GOD!

I bought all my furniture 2 months before I closed on my house. I told them I didn't need it for about 2 months and they said it was fine. Some of it was special order (which takes 6-8 weeks to get) but some of it was in stock. They told me they would deliver it whenever I was ready for it. If you know exactly what you want I would just call and ask them how long it would take to get and ask them to hold it for you until you are ready for it.

---

I had them hold it for months! If that helps. We were supposed to move in this January and things were finished being constructed until about a week ago.
Most don't mind. I got a few phone calls, I guess they were waiting on comission , but there was really nothing I could do about getting the projects to go faster and they were understanding.

yea they called me every few weeks to see if I was ready for it yet. I was supposed to close a lot sooner on my house but, they were very nice about it. I kept telling them a couple more weeks and they just said 'ok let us know'.

I dont think so, I paid more

I paid over 8k for my bedroom set with the additional pieces... and that was on sale. 3k is a great deal! I am sure you probably already did.. but just in case you didn't... make sure it is made from good wood -nice and strong. You don't want to pay that much $$ and have it break.

My dad insisted we be rough with the furniture in the showroom to make sure everything we bought was a good quality... so when I found a dining room set I really liked... FH plopped down on to the dining room chair in the showroom (not even that hard) and the back of the chair snapped right off! The wood broke right in half! The salesmen was so embarrassed. It was so funny though. We didn't buy anything from that place... I am so glad we took my dads advice though. Imagine having company over and your chairs break.... that would be embarassing

My FH would have done something like that! I was afraid he was going to break it and we would have to buy it!
I am glad you didnt get anything there either!!

you have to place it in your room. does macys have a room designer on there site.
i purchased from thomasville and there website has this thing that you can put in the measurements of your room and then place your exact furniture in it to see how much room you have.
