If I could give 10 stars to Liam and Julius at What's New Furniture, I would. Actually 100 stars!
My kid is leaving the nest: moving to a new town to take a great job. I'd transferred a lot of my anxiety about this transition onto the question of where they're going to SIT, and after hours of searching, I found a beautiful sofa sleeper in perfect condition on consignment on the What's New website. It felt perfect.
Today we went to the new town and found an apartment, so on our way home, I called and talked to Liam to find out if the sofa was still available. When he said it was, I said I might not make it back before they closed, and Liam offered to stay late so we could see the sofa. I didn't want to keep him, but Liam was so kind and welcoming that I took him up on his offer.
We arrived 10 minutes after the store closed, and Liam and Julius greeted us warmly, Liam showed us the sofa and invited us to take our time with our decision. I can't overstate the impact of Liam's kindness after the day we'd had. We bought the sofa (yay!), and What's New Furniture has so much beautiful, affordable furniture, rugs, and art—both new and consignment pieces—that we'll certainly be returning.
Thank you, Liam and Julius, for making both our day and this transition so much easier! Now I can stop relentlessly searching for sofas and start dealing with my feelings. You're the BEST!
