Anybody there have any experience buying furniture online?

I would like to buy a leather sofa and a loveseat (maybe a chair +
ottoman, too) made by Flexsteel (www.flexsteel.com) or Legacy Leather
(www.legacy-leather.com). My local Kacey's (and another fine furniture
store) carries a few Flexsteel models, but I'm wondering if I would be
able to save a lot of money (taking into account shipping costs to
Denver, CO) by buying the pieces from one of these online furniture
outlets that ship nationwide. I have just made a quick google search,
and there are plenty of purveyors, including the "North Carolina
furniture" variety. But there are so many that I feel overwhelmed. How
do I check their references? Any particular ones you can recommend?

TIA
