There are a few sites:

North Carolina Furniture

Boyles Discount Furniture Outlet

NC Furniture Online

If you do a google, you'll likely come up with many sites.

I've never purchase furniture online from North Carolina or any other business, but I've looked at some and considered it. Hopefully, the members who HAVE done this will see your thread and post replies to you.
HTH!

The above are two I looked at but I ultimately bought my bed from Karen's link, North Carolina Furniture.

I had great luck with it all. They had a $50 off coupon on a purchase of $500 or more so I took advantage of that, too. Let's see....I believe my total savings was $600 by going online vs. my local store. Now, NC Furniture had a HIGH delivery price...$200 for ONE TWIN BED. The other stores had only a $100 delivery price. I bought a Pennsylvania House cherry twin bed, so a savings of $600 is significant, I think. It's not like I bought a whole roomful of furniture and only saved $600. The bed was slightly more than half the price of my local retail store. When I contacted them via phone I had no problems and they immediately looked up my style number and gave me a price. I still called around and when I called back I had no problems. I had to pay half the money right away, which rather bothered me, but I had heard from others who used this store so I went ahead. Then when the bed was ready, they contact you and you have to pay the rest in full. So, you pay COMPLETELY before you ever get the furniture. That is a little scarey! Also, this particular store is located in Florida, despite its name. One thing that seemed absurd to me is that my bed was MADE in PA, was shipped to the store in Florida, and then Florida shipped it back up to me in NY. My bed went almost full circle up and down the East coast (which probably explains the absurd delivery charge) and the potential for damage is high when you do that!

The delivery guys were very nice. They arrived at 7:30 in the morning and my little girl was still asleep so we had them open it completely out in the driveway so we could inspect it, and then they boxed it back up for us so we could later take it in the house when she woke up. (it was her big girl bed)

All in all, I would do it again, but do make sure you shop locally to SEE the product first, and then get style numbers and stain choices and such. I posted about this back in Spring, I'll try and find it and bump it to the top for you.

What are you looking to buy?
