Timnwendy Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 The new Ashley Furniture store had its grand opening on Saturday, Feb. 23rd, 2008. This is the new store located off 518 west of 288, next to Academy and the big HEB, across from the Pearland Towncenter construction. I'm not a furniture expert, but the store looked nice and the prices seemed reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njvisitor Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I went to take a look today.The store itself (design, layout, & size) is impressive. The furniture, however, isn't exactly my thing. But it's definitely what, I imagine, Pearlanders will appreciate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's definitely what, I imagine, Pearlanders will appreciate......hey... I bought a table there, years ago (at their Austin location)... considering what I had at the time, that purchase was a big upgrade. I would say that if you don't like the modern look of Ikea, and want more semi-traditional (yet very inexpensive furnishings) - then look at the place. And no, I won't get my feelings hurt if people make fun of where I shop (won't be the first time!), though I have not been there in years...

It's nice to mix up styles a little. I like the modern look of Ikea, but I wouldn't want my house to look like an Ikea catalogue either. I'll be interested to have a look at this store.

njvisitor Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Heh, I didn't mean to offend you. Sorry if I did!We have an Ashley table too.My comment was in reference to the style furniture I saw in model homes and the furniture style that's most common to Houston. I figured Pearland was like most other big Houston suburbs when it comes to furniture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottonmather0 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Don't know much about the furniture itself but for some reason I like looking at the girl in the commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timnwendy Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 I did a little comparison shopping last weekend at Star Furniture, and I can tell you that Ashley's prices were much, much lower than Star's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sofa/loveseat made by Ashley (not from the Ashley store or Star), and several pieces of furniture from Star (not made by Ashley). The furniture from Star is holding up much better than the Ashley furniture with comparable usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonmacbro Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Is it just me or does it seem like Houston has an over-abundance of furniture places? I you ride out I45 (either north or south) it is littered (yes, I do mean that word) with furniture places. Some looks shady (aka trashy) and others just look slightly shady.

Timnwendy Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Well, we bought 3 pieces from the Ashley on 518 last Sunday. Delivery is tomorrow. I'll report back on how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timnwendy Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Well, we bought 3 pieces from the Ashley on 518 last Sunday. Delivery is tomorrow. I'll report back on how it turns out.The delivery was a flat $89 (regardless of how many pieces are delivered). The delivery truck arrived on time (they gave a courtesy call beforehand, too). The furniture seems to be as-promised. So far we are satisfied. My neighbor bought a couple of pieces from this new store too. He didn't pay for their delivery; he went to their warehouse in Sugarland and picked up the furniture himself. This is a good option for those ambitious folks with access to a vehicle with enough cargo space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good option for those ambitious folks with access to a vehicle with enough cargo space.You'd think that Ashley would look to capitalize on all the new people moving in to SCR and ST by luring them in with free delivery. Then again, maybe they feel like they don't need to offer it, assuming that everyone will check out Ashley simply because they're so close.

citizen4rmptown Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 No offense , but is having stores built in pearland a big thing to your area.

Actually, it is a pretty big deal to get new stores near where we live. The HEB was truly exciting, and most people are looking forward to having the mall and new restaurants so close.

Those will be places where people can walk to, at least SCR residents. Not many suburbs have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh, now I'm visualizing myself pushing an HEB shopping cart all the way down 518 to Kingsley, then up to the 4-way stop at Regents Bay, then...
