New York is famous for a lot of things such as museums, concerts parks and other cultural activities like one-man shows. As the most densely populated American city, its metropolitan urban areas are known for their fine dining restaurants, high-rise office buildings and 24-hour mass urban transit. Less well-known are the numerous furniture stores in Brooklyn which offer quality furniture at fantastically discounted prices. Most of the furniture stores in Brooklyn have their in-store credit plans such as first 12 months have no amortization payments yet. These are also interest free.

Located in the state of New York, this city never sleeps and is known by its nicknames of Gotham (made popular by the "Batman" movie series) and the Big Apple. Its five boroughs are The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Originally an English term, borough has come into common usage and means an administrative division of a self-governing township.

The present financial crisis has affected New York City inhabitants especially in Brooklyn. Mass layoffs has triggered a tsunami of sorts. When a crisis strikes, people are often reluctant to buy new items and would rather hold on to their cash. Sales usually plummet but there are ways to counteract this trend. The furniture stores in Brooklyn are quick to the act by offering clearance sales for most furniture items.

Pawnshops are doing brisk business and there are also plenty of clearance sales going around, from consumer electronics products to used cars and even furniture of all kinds. Known as warehouse sales, prices are at unbelievable steep discounts it is almost a shame not to buy these brand-new furniture. Furniture stores in Brooklyn are teeming with all types of furniture that you are looking for. They offer free delivery service within the next 24 hours for nearby areas and usually 3-4 days for outlying areas. The furniture stores in Brooklyn offer generous refund policies as long as these are done within 15 days from the date of delivery. Deliveries are usually at the doorstep only of the home or office. You will need to hire somebody else to bring all the stuff inside your office building or residence. This is especially important when the ordered items are either bulky or extra heavy.

However, most furniture stores in Brooklyn will allow inside deliveries up to the second floor of the building for a minimal extra charge. It is usually below US$100 but you have to inform them first before the delivery is made, about a day in advance. When you decide to cancel an order and it so happened that the delivery truck has left the warehouse already, furniture stores in Brooklyn will deduct 15% of the refund amount. This is to take care of the round trip freight costs. But there is no need to worry on that since furniture stores in Brooklyn will not charge you if you are pre-approved.
