T-Mart

Great place with GREAT PRICES! I went to T-​Mart because a friend recommended I check there. I was so happy with the Ashley sofa set I purchased! The wait in the back to load up was a little long but well worth the wait for the $$ I saved! With definitely go back and shop more… this place was loaded with all kinds of items from new to used! THANKS for the SUPER bargain!

This place has decent furniture at a budget-​friendly price it also has some of the worst customer service I have received in a very long time. I drove 45 minutes plus to pick up a bed I saw Craigslist for $ 99.00… I get there pay for it drive around back they loaded into my car I get all the way back home and realize I have the wrong pieces … I give them a call to see what can be done about this and the only option they give me is to drive all the way back and they say it as if they’re doing me some type of favor needless to say they have lost me as a customer!!! (Buyers Beware)

I embarrassingly made two trips to T-​Mart because I didn’t have the guts to go in the first time. It’s not in the best part of town, it was dark, and I was alone since I’d only meant to browse. While a lot of trucks were parked outside, the painted up windows offered no view of the inside and I chickened out.
Let me backtrack the story a bit: I’d been looking for a dresser for the guest bedroom and had already been to a few other furniture stores though all were far too pricey for such simple pieces. Browsing Craigslist I noticed a lot of listings that seemed like good deals coming from this store so I decided to venture out and see their selection for myself –minus the chickening out. Now back to the (second) T-​Mart experience.
I went again another night (this time with a friend since I was also determined to buy one I’d seen a CL ad for) and walked in. It was a lot bigger than the outside let on and it was divided into sections: furniture, CDs, appliances, and somewhat of a mini convenience store. There were a good amount of shoppers yet I never spotted a salesperson so I can’t weigh in on the haggling others suggest you do –though at $ 150 for a 6 drawer dresser I was content anyway. Since there were no salesmen, it took a while to flag someone down to purchase it but once I paid and drove around back their employees quickly and carefully loaded it into my car. In all honesty, everyone I talked to was extremely friendly and helpful. Extra friend not needed.
The styles of furniture varied though they offered a big variety of complete bedroom sets and their prices were fair. I figured if I had kids or needed extra pieces this would be a good place to check out. I don’t think they carry solid wood furniture or high quality items but it’s handy for starting out or working with a budget. If nothing else, check out Craigslist and if something catches your eye go see it in person; don’t be afraid to go in!

Not just a furniture store, they got clothes, CDs, kids toys. Its more like a flea market.

If pulling up to this place what you’ll see on the sign reads as «T-​Mart Bazaar». Between the signage, the Craigslist postings and other advertising, it’s hard to know for sure, so make sure you have the correct address down. The place is a bazaar.
Big store with a hodgepodge of merchandise. Almost like a bazaar, there are different areas with different salespeople selling a multitude of items. The first wave of attack comes in the form of a big dude pawning off mix CD’s. It’s been years since I’ve purchased a mix cd and or a cd in general. He had some decent mixes but I don’t buy Cd’s. (I so wish we would move to an era where tracks could be sold on a USB or emailed or downloaded in real time, to a flash, HDD, SDD, smart phone etc.) More about the offerings; an area selling used DVDs, blue ray discs, videos, games, iPods, iPhones, phones and more. The pricing is all over and sometimes looks as if matching those found on Craigslist. There are also sellers of house goods, women’s lingerie, socks and then a whole back area devoted to the sales of bedding and home furniture. Haggling is a must here, so try to leave with a deal. They have new and used bedding.
I was visiting with a friend that moved into the area recently and needed some decent bedding at a low cost. The salesman walked us through the services performed on all used bedding, how its prepared for sale. This is a service which is regulated at least in how its done by the state. The pricing and haggling got us a low rate on the mattress and with delivery the whole process was completed in less than an hour believe it or not. It was a weekday visit and at our surprise the delivery guys were a few minutes behind us with the mattress in hand.
On another note, we picked up a suitable frame at a Christian second hand store nearby. In this area of Dallas /​Ft Worth, second hand goods stores are plentiful. Both the mattress, box spring and frame were purchased at an approximate savings of 70% off of what it would cost for the same when purchasing new.
If deciding to shop bring someone that has some knowledge about second hand, third hand, etc. I would think that some may leave with the feeling of being unsure whether they got a good deal or not. When shopping for a car, do all the same routines. Look under the hood, sit in it, turn it on if you can, kick the wheels, etc. Make sure it is what is shown to you. The area is bleak and run down and some would call it «ghetto» I merely use this reference to indicate where your headed.
