Jewelry armoires are one of those slice of life furniture pieces that represent luxury. They are not a necessity to own – and that’s pretty much the whole point. It’s a luxury to have a suede line jewelry armoire to place your jewels inside, and there’s a comfort you have going to bed at night knowing your jewelry collection is fastened inside one of these brilliant armoires.
The problem for many people who want to buy the classic black jewelry armoire – the kind with 7 perfect little drawers, swinging side doors, encircled legs, and a mirror on top – is the price tag is just too high. It can be prohibitively expensive, which is all part of being a luxury, but can you still find one for a reasonable price?
The answer is yes – if you’re willing to work a little bit to find it.
How to do just that? You’ve got to look in the right places. While there’s certainly other tactics for saving money here, I want to focus on the ones I’m familiar with. Let’s start with the internet. I’ve found amazing deals online at auction sites like Ebay, super retailers like Amazon, and even brick and mortal retail sites like Target, which continually has good deals on
Powell jewelry armoires under $200. Take the time to really sift through the sales on these three sites and you’re likely to come up with a brilliant black jewelery armoire that’s affordable too.
Another favorite tactic is to visit local furniture stores – ones owned by actual local people who run the store – and start wheeling and dealing. By this I mean you should find what you’re looking for, take the price, and offer to pay them a reasonable amount that’s lower than what they’re asking. You will be amazed at how much money you can save simply by asking for a lower price directly.
The final tactic I want to mention today is also the most tedious, but the pay off is the biggest usually. Going to estate sales, yard sales, and garage sales and looking at what’s being sold can unearth all sorts of amazing deals. The problem is it’s hard to find deals on something as specific as a black jewelry armoire when you’re simply canvassing all the local garage or estate sales. But if you do find what you’re looking for, you’re likely to save 50% to 75% off what you’d pay at a store for the same thing!
