I learned my lesson after buying from JC Penny. Quality of couch and love seat was really bad.

Lol well, the first three comments of this thread don't inspire much confidence in the deal. Maybe I'll browse later if bored

Yes. It's a JCPenney 'sale'. Mark up by 200% then give 50% off, it's the way they've always done it. They briefly had a CEO (Ron Johnson) who decided to stop insulting customers with pseudo-bargains and have low prices all the time,no "sales" - they almost went out of business, revenue plummeted. Human psychology being what it is, seems JCPenney loyal customers would much rather pay $300 and think they're getting a "sale bargain", than pay $250 and think they're getting the same price as everyone else. Dontknow

And so we have the JCPenny 'sale' where half off is still more than the manufacturer's regular direct price. Ermm

Bingo. That's how most retailers operate. It's tactics like this (when it's not furniture) that make me compare their asking price to places like Ali express just to know if I am *actually* getting my moneys worth.

Maybe hit and miss. I bought a chair 13ish years ago, at an outlet for $40, that is used daily and nightly, feather stuffed seat and backing. Has held up great, with occasional beating/ fluffing ofcourse.

JCPenney is barely a store anymore, it's more like a shell company. It's owned by two mall operators (Simon and Brookfield) to prop up their dying malls, that way they can keep rents high for other tenants (a lot of leases and the amount of rent paid are contingent on having an operating mall anchor store.

So a few bucks cheaper on some even junkier furniture?
