the shit I’m running into around town is WHACK!!! I hit the damn Gwinnett shit, midtown, all that. Am I missing something, this shit is terrible. Any spots you’ve copped or even ordered furniture?
They will have one fire item and the rest is blah.
Relax your expectations, fam. You will have to keep checking the same places, ask what day of the week they get new shit. Most get all their furniture from the same vendors/manufacturers.
These are some of the spots I found decent when I was looking, not black owned tho...
Georgia Furniture Mart
6694 Dawson Blvd, Norcross, GA 30093
Bought a Jackson CatNapper sectional from here.
Designer Rug Warehouse
1240 Old Chattahoochee Ave NW, Atlanta, GA 30318

They have nice furniture and some custom live edge tables made from Costa Rican wood. Expensive tho. I saw a Calvin Klein silk & wool area rug like 14' x 12', $900. The devil is a lie!! I left that hoe.
There are some other furniture stores on that same street.
They have another location on Old Nat'l, an African brother works there, Kenyan I think. We had a good convo.
Brownlee's Furniture

Best advice I can offer is don't be in a hurry to furnish every empty space just to fill it. I didn't want to just buy some shit that I didn't like to fill an empty room then hate it later, and the stores didn't have shit I liked
Also look in Goodwill stores, the better ones on the outskirts have some newer stuff.
I hated furniture shopping at first. I was looking during the pandemic, kinda made it a hobby to curate my space more, make it more personal and custom to me. I'm not done at all. All I bought was that Jackson Sectional, a Purple Cali King bed and a bunch of houseplants & designer pots
