Modern is a broad label covering everything from mid-century lines to contemporary minimalism, and the useful question is which version suits how you actually live.
Apex is where Capital Discount Furniture began and where the owners live, which gives the store unusually direct familiarity with local homes. Apex has grown quickly, and its mix of established downtown-area homes and newer subdivisions means two houses a mile apart can present very different delivery paths.
Capital Discount Furniture operates one 50,000-square-foot showroom at 3921 S Miami Blvd, Durham, NC 27703, and that is where Apex shoppers come to compare in person. Apex is southwest of the showroom, a drive that usually combines I-40 with US-64 or NC-55. Everything below reflects how we actually operate, including the parts that limit what we can promise.
Planning the Space Honestly
A few decisions about the room should come before comparing modern pieces. They determine fit, which is a different question from preference.
· whether open-leg pieces leave enough concealed storage
· how the finish reads against existing flooring
· whether low-profile seating suits everyone in the household
· how the piece relates to older items you are keeping
The owners live in Apex, so questions about how a piece works in a local floor plan often get a first-hand answer.
Making the Comparison Concrete
Our living room selection covers clean lines and visual lightness balanced against real storage needs. In the showroom you can compare these directly:
· contemporary sofas, loveseats, and sectionals
· low-profile beds and platform styles
· minimal dining tables and chairs
· streamlined storage and media pieces
· accent chairs, lighting, and rugs

From Showroom to Living Room
· You get a delivery date and an approximate three-hour window; out-of-town routes can shift that range.
· We schedule delivery and pickup only once an order is paid in full.
· Because both distance and load affect it, the delivery fee is quoted against your specific order.
· We ask for 24 hours before any delivery change, since the route and crew are already committed.
· With White Glove Delivery the crew brings items indoors and into the room, assembles them, and removes the packaging.
· Local delivery is handled by our own crew and trucks, typically six days a week.
Two limits apply, and knowing them early avoids surprises. If a hallway, doorway, or stairwell makes maneuvering genuinely unsafe, the piece is set in the nearest suitable room and final placement is yours. The crew does not remove or relocate your existing furniture, so arrange that separately beforehand.
Before delivery day, clear the hallways, stairs, and door openings along the route, and tell us in advance about any obstruction outside. Secure children and pets while the crew is working, and check the order for accuracy before they leave.
Book a pickup appointment; that is how the team makes sure everything is ready to go. Apex customers choosing pickup should plan the return on US-64 or NC-55 with the load secured. Confirm your vehicle's dimensions, bring moving supplies, and expect to handle the loading, which is not something the team does.
Up to 60 days of free storage is available from point of sale, after which unarranged items may go to Restore.

Timing, Financing, and Warranty
On timing: many items are in stock and available for immediate or same-day delivery or pickup. Special orders vary with manufacturer availability, holidays, and custom work; the team can give a clearer estimate at or before point of sale.
On assembly: factory-direct items need minimal light assembly and arrive with instructions, hardware, and basic tools; delivery crews assemble and remove packaging.
On financing: we work with Snap, Synchrony, and Wells Fargo, with options for a range of credit types with monthly payments, subject to approval and each program's terms. Snap advertises approval decisions in seconds and lease-to-own amounts up to $5,000. We accept financing, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or cash.
On coverage: everything sold carries a manufacturer warranty, which varies by manufacturer, and an optional 5-year protection plan is available, priced by what is covered.
What We Bring to the Decision
Jenny, Scott, and their kids live in Apex, which is also where Capital Discount Furniture began. They built the business from the ground up, and they stay active in the community and with Hope Community Church, looking for ways to give back.
The result for Apex customers is factory-direct pricing without a chain's markup, supported by a best price guarantee. More than 1,300 five-star Google reviews sit alongside WRAL Voters' Choice Award, Cary Living's Diamond Award, Indy Week's Best of the Triangle, and Cary Magazine's Maggy Award.
Brands on the floor include LMCO, Helix, Kincaid, Fusion Furniture, Liberty Furniture, Vaughan-Bassett, Sunset West Outdoor, and Classic Home, among others. We also offer Renew Staging & Design, an in-house staging and design service.
We are open Monday-Friday 11am-7pm, Saturday 10am-5pm, Sunday 12pm-5pm. Before making the trip from Apex, call (919) 600-1994 to check that the piece you want is out on the floor. Se Habla Espanol.

Frequently Asked
Will low-profile seating suit everyone in the house?
Worth testing in person. Lower seat heights are harder for some people to get in and out of, which is exactly the kind of thing a showroom visit settles quickly.
Is modern furniture practical with kids or pets?
It can be, and the deciding factor is materials rather than styling. Ask about fabric performance and finish durability specifically, since those vary far more than silhouette does.
Do I have to pay in full before delivery?
Yes. All orders must be paid in full before a delivery or pickup can be scheduled. Financing counts as payment once approved, so an approved application lets you schedule right away.
Can modern and traditional pieces share a room?
Usually, when scale and wood tone relate. The combination reads as deliberate when the visual weights balance, and accidental when one piece is markedly heavier than everything around it.
Does the store have any particular connection to Apex?
Yes. Jenny and Scott and their kids live in Apex, and it is where Capital Discount Furniture started before the Durham showroom. That means questions about how a piece fits a familiar local floor plan often get a direct answer rather than a generic one.
