I believe furniture is marked up 100/150 % anyway !!! Maybe more !!!
Visit a furniture store anytime and there are very few if any buying.
When they do make a sale it has to be marked up by that much to cover overheads.
A store of any type with so few customers have similar mark up.
Then is the time to haggle because its better for them to make 50% on a sale item than nothing.
TIP; always obtain 3 quotes for a haircut as well !!!

I would prefer to go to someone I want to cut my hair (rather than farm it out to the cheapest option - you might get what you pay for ;)) As for furniture markups I have no idea, but if someone can save 30% thats got to be a good thing IMO

Had a quick look at the website, but the prices I looked at are pretty reasonable for the product and other prices I have seen around, especially with up to 30% off. Go have a look at a furniture store outside fantastic furniture...
