For those that know about them, they are the best times of the year to buy furniture. These are usually floor samples from the otherwise-off-limits-to-mortals design showrooms. Some of the stuff is high-end, some low-end, but all of it is at bargain prices.

The first one is next weekend (October 29/30) at the Galleria & Showplace Buildings. The sale runs from 9am-5pm on Saturday and 10am-4pm on Sunday. They claim 15 trade showrooms totally over 50,000 sqft selling floor samples to the public.

The following weekend is the San Francisco Mart’s one-day sale on Saturday, November 5th from 9am-5pm. This is a multi-story building at the corner of 10th & Market, and has floor after floor of showrooms.

There are ads in this Sunday’s Chronicle Datebook for both sales that are worth a buck off of the admission price, too.
