Furniture Clearance Offers
If a furniture manufacturer such as Sherrill or Stickley decides to introduce a new collection of bedroom furniture, then the furniture retailer has a decision to make. Its warehouse and showroom has no space left for this new collection of beds, armoires, dressers, chests, nightstands and so on.
The retailer has limited space. How does it create new space? In fact, it comes to an agreement with the manufacturer that it can offer a discount furniture sale of that firm’s old stock to make way for its new. The old stock will be sold as furniture clearance offers, and generally the manufacturer will take the hit for the reduced price.

Discount Furniture: Damaged Goods
The term ‘damaged goods’ has connotations of poor quality, yet it is not. Damaged goods might have been slightly dented or scratched during delivery to the store, so cannot be sold at full price. They may have been damaged during delivery to a customer and were rejected.
In this case, the hit must be taken by the retailer, not the manufacturer. The discount you receive might be less, but might also be negotiable. Furniture clearance offers will normally be sold at a non-negotiable low fixed price that the retailer and manufacturer have mutually agreed.
Damaged goods, on the other hand, may be up for grabs at whatever price the seller can get for them. If you are made an offer for a chest with a scratch down one side, make a lower offer. You might get it accepted, and you could place the scratched side against a wall. In fact the damage involved in most discount furniture offers is no more than your kids may have inflicted within a few days in your home!
