We have bought some furniture at the Rubin's clearance center and prices are cheaper and some times (if you're lucky) can find good stuff.
We also bought our bedroom set at Rubin's downtown store and it was a good purchase I think.
So, I think Rubin's is a better option than the other average stores (Ashley furniture, Stanhafeals, American, etc) and the price is sometimes about the same for a better quality than the average and better design. But obviously you have to shop around and compare before to buy.
