Looking to furnish your home with high quality furniture at extremely reasonable prices? You will love Hotel Surplus. I was really happy I didn't have to settle for Ikea quality (not that I don't love Ikea but you know what I mean)
Apparently high end hotels renovate every 4-5 years and sell their old furniture in bulk to warehouses such as Hotel Surplus. Two awesome things about this:
- Hotels only select high quality pieces of furniture because they know their guests don't really give a crap about their room furnishings - so furniture must be durable enough to withstand wear and tear.
- Furniture that is 4-5 years old in a hotel room that has mostly been vacant is nearly brand new
This place has awesome prices. I was looking for a living room pull-out sofa so that my guests would have a place to sleep when they come over. All pull-out sofas that I was looking at started at at least $600 used! My mom, the bargain hunter that she is, came across Hotel Surplus and bought me a queen size pull-out sofa (originally from the San Diego Hilton Resort) for $299. She also found this beautiful armoire for $179 (an original piece from the Casa Del Mar Hotel, Santa Monica). This item is really a worth a couple grand - we definitely got a steal.
In fact you can still view the piece here on the Casa Del Mar Hotel website in their Penthouse.Here are some pics of the furniture pieces in my new crib (armoire & sofa):

Seriously, go check it ouuuut!
