FWS is a western New York favorite for decorating on a budget. The store, true to its name, appears to be a warehouse of surplus furniture; from couches to bedroom sets to rugs, theyve got every room covered in some capacity. Styles tend to be more classic -- if youre an "alt" kind of person you wont find that hip coffee table here, but you may find a great, "slightly damaged" headboard that begs for an artistic nudge. They seem to have more recliners and dressers than any other type of furniture and, because of that wonderful overstock, the prices are very reasonable. They also sell surplus fabric for carpeting and window treatments; its easy to get lost amidst the towering reams of eyelet lace and Berber. The room full of chipped, dented or scuffed furniture tends to get the most traffic, where an art-deco mirror with a little crack in the corner can be had for $25. -- Kara Sweet
