Shopping fun in Naples - Day 4

Thursday the 3rd

Today we decided to go farther afield and head toward Bonita Springs. Tina called Carmen and she gave us the name of a sales person at Ashley Furniture and another place called City Furniture. Apparently these two businesses are co-located in the same building, owned by the same people but Ashley carries furniture made specifically for them and City carries a half dozen other brands, mostly bigger furniture for bigger homes.

We got there and spent twenty minutes just wandering around to see what they had. Eventually Tina asked for the sales person Carmen told us about but it was her day off. So we found someone else who helped us. We finally located a really nice coffee table and end table plus a set of bedroom lamps at City Furniture. After completing all the paperwork, delivery was set for that evening.

Then we went back to the Ashley side of the building where we had found a really nice powder blue leather loveseat, a small five drawer dresser, two night stands and a pair of table lamps for the living room. After writing up the paperwork, we tried to consolidate the two shipments but the truck had already been fully scheduled so we were assigned a Friday morning shipment.
We got home around 2:00 PM and an hour later the Fridge was delivered, set up and the old one hauled away.

Later that evening our City furniture shipment arrived and after getting everything delivered and put where we wanted it, we called it a good day and cashed in our chips.
