A desk is measured by working posture and equipment fit, not by how it looks empty in a showroom.
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.
Family owned and operated from 3921 S Miami Blvd, Durham, NC 27703, we cover Apex from a single 50,000-square-foot showroom rather than a chain of locations. Apex is southwest of the showroom, a drive that usually combines I-40 with US-64 or NC-55. Below is the practical picture, including where our service has limits.
Planning the Space Honestly
It pays to answer these about the room before looking at desks, since they govern what can work at all.
· surface depth relative to monitor distance
· knee clearance under the top
· whether drawers or a separate file cabinet suit the work
· how cables reach the nearest outlet
The owners live in Apex, so questions about how a piece works in a local floor plan often get a first-hand answer.
Comparing Options Side by Side
Our desk selection covers desk dimensions, working height, and storage configuration. In the showroom you can compare these directly:
· writing and computer desks
· executive desks
· desks with drawers and file storage
· credenzas and hutches
· office chairs and seating
Getting It to the House
· White Glove Delivery means the piece comes inside, into the room it belongs in, assembled, with packaging taken away.
· You get a delivery date and an approximate three-hour window; out-of-town routes can shift that range.
· Scheduling either delivery or pickup requires the order to be paid in full first.
· The delivery fee is set by location and by what is being delivered, so it is quoted at point of sale.
· Give us a day's notice to change a delivery; inside that window the fee applies regardless.
· We use in-house trucks and staff rather than a third-party carrier, generally Monday through Saturday locally.
Two things the crew will not do, worth knowing in advance. If a hallway, doorway, or stairwell makes maneuvering genuinely unsafe, the piece is set in the nearest suitable room and final placement is yours. Old furniture is not moved or hauled away by the delivery team; plan its removal ahead of delivery day.
Open up hallways, stairways, and doorways beforehand, and let us know early about outside access problems. Secure children and pets while the crew is working, and check the order for accuracy before they leave.
All pickups are scheduled appointments, which lets the team stage the order in advance. 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.
We store paid orders for up to 60 days at no cost; beyond that window, arrange an extension or items may be forfeited and donated 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.
The Showroom and the Family Behind It
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. Customers have left more than 1,300 five-star Google reviews, and the store has received 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 International Furniture Direct, Kincaid, Rowe, Craftmaster, Ashley, Liberty Furniture, Helix, and Universal Furniture, among others. We also offer Renew Staging & Design, an in-house staging and design service.
Hours are Monday-Friday 11am-7pm, Saturday 10am-5pm, Sunday 12pm-5pm, and a quick call to (919) 600-1994 confirms whether a specific item is on display, which is worth doing before driving from Apex. Se Habla Espanol.

Research Beyond the Showroom
For questions that sit outside a sales conversation, these independent sources are useful:
· Town of Apex — municipal information and resident services for Apex
· OSHA workstation environment guidance — independent guidance on desk height, monitor position, and lighting
Common Questions
Can I see how a desk fits two monitors?
Bring your monitor dimensions and stand depth. Measuring against the actual desk surface in the showroom answers it more reliably than a product listing does.
What desk height works for most people?
Conventional desk height suits many people, but the pairing with your chair matters more than the number. If your forearms are not roughly parallel to the floor when typing, the chair usually needs adjusting before the desk does.
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.
Can I combine several rooms into one delivery?
Yes, and it usually saves money. One delivery means one fee and one three-hour window rather than several, so it is worth asking whether waiting a short time to consolidate makes sense.
Do I need drawers in the desk itself?
Only if the work is paper-heavy. Built-in drawers reduce knee clearance, so for mostly-screen work a separate file cabinet or credenza often gives a more comfortable seat and more usable storage.
