I bought a couch from the Clearance Center once, only because it really was about as cheap as it came (minus one hideous throw pillow) but the quality of their stuff just doesn't seem worth the price. I mean, according to TV it's below cost, but as Art Van still has a number of stores in business, so I can't imagine that all this below cost is really hurting them... But, at least I know that if I DO happen to fall in desperate need of a semi-poor quality coffee table, and I DO happen to miss this once in a lifetime sale, I can always go back next Tuesday and get it for the next once in a lifetime price.
