I have some Ashley furniture, and it was a lot cheaper than other options at the home store. (Then again, I shop sales and the backroom furniture.) I got a large four piece set of living room wrought iron tables with inlaid tiles for only $600. I was just shopping for one coffee table and just one of another brand was $500. I've had these pieces since 1998 or so and they're still just as sturdy through two moves. Well worth the price and look very classy.
