They have a pretty good selection, pretty well priced too, spread out over three or four floors. The lady that helped me was very nice and helpful. Stayed with me for the whole process, which may or may not be your thing, but I didn't mind. I had our mattress set delivered. The delivery men were very nice, and called as they got closer to my house. They very courteous and prompt, as they delivered in the first half of the appointment window. Overall, very friendly, low pressure buying and I would recommend them to anyone.

Not being from North Carolina, I have never heard of Badock before. It basically operates as a…read morediscount furniture store for middle tier furniture (think Haverty's or Bassett). I was looking for a new TV stand and wanted something solid wood and of decent quality. I set my budget at $1,000 The Good - I was pleasantly surprised by their selection. While I was only looking for a TV stand, my wife and I walked around the store and saw several pieces of furniture we would have considered if we had not had such items. - The TV stand which I ended up buying was priced far lower than other stores. I ended up buying it for $400, when the same item was on sale at a store in Raleigh and was still priced at $1000. -Delivery occurred on-time. The Bad - Being a discount furniture store, I did expect to have to pay a fee for delivery, but they charged $60. Our house is only about 3 miles from the store, so I felt the delivery free was a bit egregious. Also, apparently the $60 covers only one item, the delivery fees increase for each additional item. The Ugly - The customer service was quite poor. When we went to the store, there two staff members were sitting in recliners and watching TV. After finding the item I wanted, I had to go to them and ask to purchase the item, and the salesperson lingered for a minute until a commercial came on. -The salesperson provided me with little information regarding delivery, and I felt I had to interrogate her to find out when it would be delivered. -The delivery people were supposed to call on Tuesday/Wednesday to schedule our delivery for Friday. On Thursday, I hadn't heard anything so I called the store, but the person answering the phone was no help. He said he would check for me why the delivery people hadn't called and would call me back, but he never did. Overall - Not only did I come under budget, I bought a product that was nicer than I had anticipated. However, the customer service was truly awful. While I do not want to go back, my wife and I want to buy new end tables, and we will likely check out Badcock. This Badock seems to be that store you hate going to, but you always end up checking out just because of the deals you can get.

To be quite honest, I had never heard of Arden Companies before my aunt mentioned this annual sale…read morein Sanford where pillows are dirt cheap. I had my suspicions but tagged along to see what I could find. Holy Jesus, what a clearance! "First-quality" pillows will run about about $2, cushions can be up to $5. My apparent "second-quality" cushions, which are a whole heck of a lot better than was I have now, were only $2.50 each! That's right - $10 for a set of four beautiful seat cushions and the same for pillow backs. A grand total of $20 to redecorate the porch furniture. Seriously? Yes, friends... seriously. This warehouse is huge with just about every combination of lovely patterns and color that you can imagine. The sale lasts for about two weeks, but don't think that you have to show up at 3 am on the first day to get the best selection (which some people did, believe it or not.) We arrived at about 3 pm on the first day and they just kept restocking gorgeous pieces from the back. In fact, we did a few loops and found new stuff each time we passed! So, I can't speak for day 12, but our selection on day 1 was great. I will tell you that patience will be needed. The line to pay will snake through the warehouse and our wait was about an hour. But, with a group, one person kept the place while others scoped out new treasures. And, it can be hot! They have some vendors there and we bought some ice-cold waters for a buck, which were a lifesaver. So, come hydrated! I actually don't know how you find out about this sale other than checking their website close to summer every year. I found out about it through family members who live in the area... The sale in NC lasts until June 16 (2013.)

The employees here have always been helpful when I've had a question or needed assistance with something. It's a great store to checkout when you are in the Sanford area.

For the most part, they have a lot of school furniture, kids' desks, bookshelves, etc. LOTS of old side chairs. I felt like most everything I saw was priced very reasonably. There is a corner of the store labeled "Pat's Project Pile" where you could find chairs and a few other furniture items for $5. If your thing is refurbishing old pieces, then this is your place! The couple working there was nice and friendly, offered to help us but didn't hover, and invited us back another time. A would-be 4 star review was reduced to 3 due to feeling like I may have narrowly escaped my own death in the upstairs of this old building. Many of the floor boards are cracked, creaking, and shaky. Holes in the floor were covered with a thin sheet of plywood or cardboard in some cases. And to make it all the more challenging... there were no lights! I had to use the flashlight app on my phone to get around. I'm not a prude by any means, and I don't mind getting dirty in the dustiest of flea markets and the like, but this was just unsafe.
