Don't judge a book by its cover, and don't judge a furniture emporium by its name; case in point, The Dump Furniture Outlet. This furniture chain is a virtual treasure trove of deeply discounted home furnishings that will leave your rooms stylish and your bank account intact.
How The Dump Furniture Outlet Operates
The company purchases overstocks, one-of-a-kinds, factory sell outs, showroom models, and design prototypes all brand new, and then sells them to the public at an incredible rate. You will find unbelievable prices on name brands such as:
- Bernhardt
- Regency House
- Sherrill
- Spring-Air
- Berkline
- Benchcraft
- Pulaski
The company doesn't pay for expensive advertising or for high-priced real estate, there is no fancy showroom or high-pressure salespeople, and they are only open three days a week--Friday, Saturday, Sunday. With so little overhead, they are able to keep the prices at rock bottom.
What You Will Find
The Dump moniker was chosen to set the retailer apart from competitors in a crowded market. Stores typically sell 20 to 40 percent of their floor merchandise every weekend and replenish inventory during the week. On any given weekend day you will find a wide array of pieces to choose from.
Living Room
Look for leather and upholstered sofas, sectionals, chairs, ottomans, and finely crafted coffee tables, side tables, and more.
Dining Room
Choose between formal and casual styles, including breakfast tables, large dining tables, barstools, a variety of chairs, and complete dining room sets.
Rugs
Rugs are some of the most expensive pieces you buy for your home, so why not find a high-quality rug at a good price. There is an array of contemporary, oriental-style, casual, and neutral styles to choose from.
Sleepers
While a sofa is pricey, a sleeper sofa, which doubles as a bed, can be even more expensive. The Dump offers several different looks, ensuring that you will find one to compliment your decor.
Home Office
Looking for a desk, bookshelves, and chairs to fit into a home office can be a daunting task, particularly when you have to consider the size and shape of a room. This discount chain has everything from big to small, modern to ornate.
Home Theater
Need a new entertainment center for the flat screen TV? Or maybe you are trying to locate the perfect set of recliner chairs for your home theater. It is worth a trip to The Dump to find one at the right price.

Supplement Your Decorating Scheme for Less
You might not find enough pieces to fill your new home or apartment, but The Dump can certainly fill some big holes in your decorating scheme. When you visit a furniture outlet remember to keep an open mind and go on a day when you are in the treasure-hunting mood. There is an overwhelming array to choose from, so you will need to comb through the aisles and possibly even circle the showroom two or three times before you find something that you really love.
Patience is a virtue at a discount store, but more often than not, your efforts will pay off in uncovering the exact piece to polish off your room.
