DFO offers upscale quality and style at a fraction of the cost

Fabulous upscale accessories including mirrors, designer candles, plants, bowls, prints and metal work are also available at DFO

DFO, or Designer Furniture Outlet, is definitely the discriminating decorator's favorite find. Whether you are decorating a tropical-themed condo or adding new accessories and furnishings to a traditionally appointed home, a trip to DFO is in order!

Nearly one year old, DFO was created and launched by Rob Duerstock, local businessman and owner of Perdido Key's Inside Out furniture store. Inside Out has enjoyed the loyalty and appreciation of designers and cultivated, upscale shoppers for years, and DFO carries over the same quality while offering Outlet pricing and availability.

DFO style and quality definitely attract a lot of attention, especially at the low outlet pricing.

"I was surprised at what I found at DFO," says Gulf Breeze shopper Beth Musmansky. "The store has a surprising variety and unusual styles when you consider that they offer deep discounts. I saw funky National Geographic furnishings, beachy cottage accessories and lovely traditional mirrors and prints all under one roof and at low, low prices. Truly I could find something for every room in my home and it could easily be a one-stop shopping destination to fill that beach condo of my dreams!"

Seating arrangements, bedroom ensembles, dining sets and unique chairs, chests and accessories are all among the offerings at DFO.

Shoppers also rave about helpful sales staff who greet them at the door with a warm smile and a friendly hello.

"I do not like to be pressured or followed around the store," says Musmansky. "At DFO, I was greeted, offered a cool water on a hot day, and then I browsed alone. Only after I started looking around for assistance did the employee return to help me. I like that - great service without the 'I'm on commission' pressure to buy."

Delivery is also available, and DFO receives an A+ in that area as well. According to Musmansky, the furniture arrived on the day and at the time specified.

"Not only were they on time, they were very Furniture was wrapped to protect it as they brought it into the house, and caution was taken to protect walls and doorways from scuffs and marring. DFO shoppers may receive a discount on the furniture, but they receive first class treatment during and after the sale."
