When it comes to the steaming hot, rainy, and snowy days in North Carolina, there are endless things to do inside while Mother Nature does her thing. But spending a day in furniture store, especially when you're not in the market for a new piece of furniture, may not be at the top of your list. But there is one furniture store that's definitely worth making an exception. Take a peek below at the Disneyland of furniture and home decor. Making at least one visit here is pretty much a rite of passage for every North Carolinian.
Firstly, right out front, you'll get to take a photo of the world's tallest highboy dresser. At 85 feet tall and 40 feet wide, this colossal piece of furniture makes an enormous first impression. And what's waiting inside this massive store is equally mesmerizing.
Furnitureland South, located in Jamestown, is the largest furniture store in the world. The store features 1.3 million square feet of furniture and home decor.
Even if you're not in the market for furniture, you're sure to be awestruck by the sheer selection of unique furniture found in one place.
Like this daybed we like to think is akin to a squished hamster wheel...
Or these mega statues of stallions and a bull. Sure, you may find that not everything fits your taste, but at the very least, you'll get some great decorating ideas.
Even better... Nearly all of the decor and lighting is for sale, so Furnitureland South is likely also the biggest home decor and lighting store in the world too!
With the space equivalent to 22 football fields, this store is more like a gigantic mall and features 1,000 brands of furniture manufacturers. If, by chance, you ARE in the mood (and market) for redecorating, you'll find endless idea starters. Remember to charge your phone so you can take tons of photos!
Still not convinced this is the place for you? Be sure to check out the OUTLET STORE next door. On average, there are 100,000 items on sale in the Outlet.
Ready to plan a road trip? Don't worry about lunch... the store has its own Subway — as well as a Starbucks Cafe!
Furnitureland South is located at 5635 Riverdale Dr., Jamestown, NC 27282. (That's a mere 80 miles northeast of Charlotte, 90 miles northwest of Fayetteville, and 100 miles east of Boone.) It's open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (closed on Sunday). Learn more on the official website!
