Suzanne O’Connor’s Bargains LA

Fun Shopping Digs

I regularly visit bargain sources I have on the site. Often it’s to check up on their business, sometimes because I like visiting with the owners and occasionally ‘cause it’s so much fun to be there.

At Larry St John, down in the South Bay it’s all three reasons. The sense of fun at this hot spot for furniture deals is overwhelming. Come on, sharks hanging from the ceiling, a pirate room, tigers adorning walkways, hidden alligators, antique cars?�  They even have piped in jungle sound effects complete with a real macaw at the front desk.

I like going to to wander and get design ideas.

This place is so huge and densely packed with all sorts sofas, chairs, chaises, table, bookcases, accent pieces and more you can help but get caught up in the discovery of furniture shopping while you’re have a seriously great time.�  

But Larry St John is more than just an entertaining afternoon. If you love contemporary boutique styled furniture you’ll save 30%-60% here on higher quality, made locally, design copies. When I say higher quality, I am not kidding. Some upscale boutique furniture stores have lowered quality to lower prices. If you’ve not been into one lately….go. Styles are great…the quality is poor.

At Larry St. John, the styles are great and the quality is good at lower prices. He doesn’t do major advertising and keeps a lower overhead, so of course he can sell for less.

I spent a good two hours visiting, looking trough room settings and chewing the fat with Joey the manager. It’s really nice visiting a business that cares so much about delivering the best goods they can at a low price. If you need to spruce up a bit for the holidays, you can do it here for less. But I’d get on it. Most items have to be ordered. Yes, you can customize here, but it takes 3-8 weeks for delivery.
