When you are going for a shopping spree, it means that you tend to find understanding people there. And this sentence is not just a rhyme, but also a piece of wisdom. At the present time shopping is not just a way to buy some goods you are run out of, but the time you spend with your friends or finally all alone, like rest or even a therapy. Shopaholics are not crazy people anymore but those who really know how to get out of depression they cannot battle any other way, for example – buying furniture or some other home improvement product. This is shopping with the help of which you kill two birds with one shot: shake the stress away and refresh your place somehow. You can shop in Ethan Allen Furniture store or in Levitz Furniture store.
Ethan Allen. Ethan Allen is a chain of furniture stores that provide a huge option of different pieces of furniture for dining room, living room or bedroom. This sofas, beds, chairs, coffee tables, nightstands and other items can be wooden, upholstered or plastic. Ethan Allen has a group of professional designers who create unique Ethan Allen designs for furniture. Ethan Allen furniture stores have a lot of showrooms, where a customer can easily choose furniture, furnishings or some related accessory. But sometimes people complain that the quality of Ethan Allen furniture is not that good as it should by and some items just fall apart after the purchase.
Raymour and Flanigan. The company provides its clients with good furniture, but it really cannot supply professional customer care. For example, Raymour and Flanigan can deliver you the furniture you have bought without any bill for it. And when you call to solve this thing and get the things right Raymour and Flanigan representatives just try in vain to calm you down saying that it is not a problem and you do not have to worry but actually they try to give you another run around. But lately you can just get a call from some debt collection agency and they state that you were being reported to collectors and then this entire nightmare can start. That is how they create problems for their customers. Or Raymour and Flanigan sales representative can ask you to sign some contract which bonds you to repay some part of restocking fee if the furniture is returned, which is absolutely unacceptable in terms of normal business practice, but that is they way they conduct business.

Bob's Discount Furniture and Ethan Allen Interiors
From time to time it is necessary to change the interior of our homes. But when time comes to make some innovations there arises a problem where to go shopping, what store to choose, what brand furniture is the best correspondence between price and quality. It is really hard to choose among those numerous furniture companies, since they all claim themselves to be leaders in the industry.
Bob's Discount Furniture. As funny as it may seem, the Bob's Discount Furniture was started due to a motorcycle accident. Its founder Bob Kaufman had a bad injury and he used a waterbed to recover. That bad experience resulted in a furniture company which was founded in 1991 in Newington, Connecticut. Today it is a chain of furniture shops in the Northeastern part of the USA. The company is known for its advertisement campaign and for offering video arcades, home theaters and in-store miniature golf. Among the products offered by the company areseparate beds, bedroom sets, sofas, armchairs and other facilities. Customers are dissatisfied with the quality of the furniture Bob's Discount Furnitureoffers and that is not reimbursed with the customer care. They do not care about the warranties they give and sometimes fraud people selling them one item and in the check mention the other one so that it can not be returned in case it breaks.
Ethan Allen Interiors, Inc. Ethan Allen is one of the largest chains of furniture stores across the United States and Canada. The company was founded by Theodore Baumritter and Nathan S. Ancell in 1932. It is headquartered in Danbury, Connecticut. From a small factory in Beecher Falls, Vermont the company has grown to operate 21 plants all over the U.S and Canada. However, in 2008 the company announced about closing a dozen stores. The company offers interior design solutions. Ethan Allen holds an ample stock of kitchen furniture, living-room and bedroom sets, appliances and utilities for bathrooms, flooring, and many much more. At the Ethan Allen each customer is assisted by free design consultation. The company offers free local delivery services.
Comparison. You never know until you try. There is no general positive or negative opinion concerning these two companies. If they managed to get on the market and even stay competitive that means that they do have something worthy to offer the consumers. Black PR and the like can not spoil the reputation if the customer is satisfied.

Levitz furniture has a great option of furniture as well and was well known for its catchy taglines used in advertising complaints, such as: "You will love it at Levitz." But in 1997 Levitz filed a bankruptcy for the first time and the again in 2005. In 2007 the failing company was sold to a group of bidders that are trying to close the rest of its stores as soon as possible.
