when we first bought our condo, we went to showplace south and worked with lori. this was back in 2004. my mom knew lori very well since she has been going there for some time. my mom furnished her entire 4200 sf home from showplace south. we bought the most beautiful dining set(white chairs/black wood), sofa, all of our side tables, coffee tables, lamps, our headboard and dresser from this place. its definitely pricey but worth if if you have the $ since its all good quality. they mostly sell to the trade/interior designers only so not anyone can just buy. the tent sale can definitely provide amazing deals for designer items and is open to the public. if you are looking for furniture, i highly recommend you call and ask when their tent sales are. quality of all the furniture here is definitely many calibers above the crate and barrel, pottery barns of the world.
