Private Sale!

I have a private sale going on this weekend; odds are very high that you've recieved a letter inviting you to come in this weekend. The sale, as usual, is a touch complex, so I thought I' go over everything we're offering.

We'll pay yor sales tax on most purchases - in Cuyahoga County, that means 7 3/4%. In other words, on a $499 Pinnacle chair, we'd discount the price by $38. You'll still end up paying sales tax - the government is a bit touchy about that sort of thing. But the actual sales tax you'll end up paying will be a good deal less.

I'll also save you an extra 5% off the list price if you pay in full (i.e., it's not financed). That maxes your discount 12 3/4%, which is quite good - if you've read this blog before, you know that anything over 10% is worth paying attention to. The $499 Pinnacle gets a $64 discount at that point, which is definitely a good thing.

If you do choose to finance, we can give you 18 months interest free financing. The most we usually go to is 12 months, so this is also unusual enough to look at.

And just to top it all off, delivery's half price this weekend. Delivering that Pinnacle costs $35, not $69.95, weekend.

Again, this is a private sale - I need to make sure you've got the invitation. If you didn't get one, and you want to take advantage of this opportunity, e-mail me pronto. I'll do everything I can to take care of you.

See you this weekend!

It's here...

I just got word that in mid-August, we'll be recieving the brand new La-Z-Boy Chill recliner here at the store.

It's a two motor massage chair, avaliable both as a recliner and - interestingly enough - a wall-saver version. We're selling it in a fabric that looks all for the world like leather.

And most impressive of all... concealed in the arm rest, there's a cooler. Judging just from the photo I've got, you could probably fit 4-6 cans of your favorite beverage in there.

Be amazed, be appalled, but here it is - the ultimate man-cave recliner is back in town, baby. And the price is really cool - $799.95. That's really great just for a massage recliner, period, let along the built-in cooler!

Photos to come... I can't wait to see this one on the floor.

Dog Days of Summer...

It's been a while since I've updated this blog, just becuase it's a fairly slow time of year for us at La-Z-Boy. Traditionally, this is the slow time in furniture sales. For some strange reason, people seem to prefer staying outside in gorgeous weather like this rather than coming into a furniture store. Go figure.

Despite the quiet, there are some nice little deals lurking around in the store. I have a beautiful red leather sofa an chair in the clearance section for $2000 - that includes our 5 year full replacement warrantee on the leather for free, so it's a real steal. In general, the clearance center has some really nice pieces in it right now, so it's worth checking out. You've probably seen the ads in the Plain Dealer by now for the sale we're running until the end of the month; a lot of the pieces in that ad ar available in very specific colors or fabrics, so please come in and take a look at what we've got before you get excited about one specific deal.

One of the first in-homes I've had the pleasure to sell is delivering this weekend. If I can get permission, I'll try to get some pictures posted of the end results. I've talked a lot about what a great job Jessica does here at the store. It'd be great to be able to show off her work in the flesh, as it were.

In the meantime... swing on by if you want to escape the perfect weather, clear blue skies, and gentle breezes. We've got air conditioning and a comfy chair waiting for you.
