I like Hotel Surplus Outlet for furniture bargain hunting. They often have some interesting things and nice buys, but the inventory changes, so you need to be patient if you are looking for something specific..... Their selection seems to depend on what they happen to be liquidating at any point in time.\r

On my last trip to Hotel Surplus Outlet they had some great pieces from some hotels, but they also had some new overstock and close-out stuff at good prices. I have bought very nice hotel items that have been cleaned up and moved directly to a client's home, but I also have bought chairs which needed to be touched up and reupholstered for low prices. After spending some money on re-upholstery and renovation I ended up with fancy seating that would have cost me far more if I bought it at a showroom or ordered it. If you are a creative buyer or a decorator who knows what to look for you can find yourself some interesting buys here.\r

They have a wide variety of things that seem to come and go. It is one of those places that you need to check out from time to time if you are on the look-out for something special. I am on their email list so they send me notice when they get new arrivals or special sales. It can be inconsistent in in their selections....but I have found Hotel Surplus to be a highly worthwhile shopping destination.
