sell Dr., gets a lot of business from
college students, said Jan Merritt,
store co-owner.
Mer-Hart sells only used furniture
often buying complete households of
furniture, she said. The store also
stocks a warehouse which is open for
browsing.
The store buys furniture throughout
the year to "get ready for August," Mer
ritt said. Many students buy furniture
in the summer and leave it at the store.
"It's easier to leave it here and then
pick it up later," she said. "We have the
room."
Merritt said some customers come
to the store year after year. Mer-Hart
Desks sell for as little as $13.50.
Chests are about $20 to $25. Sofas start
at $25, Merritt said.
Desks and chests are the top-sellers
at college time, she said. Sofas, love
seats, beds and mattresses also are
popular items.
"Students don't have the time to go
to garage sales to look for things like
this ... so their best bet is to come
here," Merritt said.
Apartment-dwellers aren't the only
shoppers at used furniture stores.
Students living in residence halls
and Greek houses often are interested
in loveseats and chairs for their rooms,
Merritt said.

Used furniture can add style
to a room for a low cost.
"They're usually not too picky about
what they get," she said. 'They just
want something that will get them
through the next nine months."
Merritt said many students recom
mend the store to their friends. Word of
mouth is the store's best advertise
ment, she said.
Renting furniture and appliances
also is an answer for apartment dwellers.
August and January are the busiest
months at Ace Rent-to-Own, said store
manager Brett Schroeder.
"Students may rent entire sets of
furniture from here. They may also
come back later in the year and trade
in furniture if they want to change
style," Schroeder said.
He said small two-cubic-foot refrig
erators are the store's most popular
item. Students started renting early in
August and Schroeder said he expects
it to continue through September.
