Outdoor furniture in central North Carolina has to handle humid summers, heavy rain, pollen season, and enough winter cold to matter.
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. Everything below reflects how we actually operate, including the parts that limit what we can promise.
What to Settle Before You Choose
It pays to answer these about the room before looking at outdoor pieces, since they govern what can work at all.
· whether the space is covered, partly covered, or fully exposed
· where cushions will live off-season
· how the material handles sustained humidity
· how much of the year the space actually gets used
The owners live in Apex, so questions about how a piece works in a local floor plan often get a first-hand answer.
What to Compare in the Showroom
Our outdoor selection covers weather resistance, materials, and off-season storage. In the showroom you can compare these directly:
· outdoor sets
· outdoor sofas, sectionals, and loveseats
· outdoor chairs, benches, and stools
· outdoor dining and side tables
· fire pits, outdoor rugs, and accessories
The Logistics Worth Knowing
· Rescheduling requires 24-hour notice; without it the original delivery fee remains due.
· Delivery pricing varies with the destination and the contents of the order rather than a flat rate.
· We schedule a specific delivery day with an approximate three-hour window, and that window can widen for out-of-town stops.
· Scheduling either delivery or pickup requires the order to be paid in full first.
· With White Glove Delivery the crew brings items indoors and into the room, assembles them, and removes the packaging.
· Deliveries run on our own trucks with our own crew, typically Monday through Saturday in the local market.
Two limits are worth knowing before you order. Tight turns or narrow doors can mean the piece is left in the closest suitable room for you to place. Existing furniture stays where it is unless you have moved it; the crew does not take it away.
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.
Pickup runs by appointment only so your items are pulled and waiting. Apex customers choosing pickup should plan the return on US-64 or NC-55 with the load secured. Measure your vehicle's opening and interior first, bring blankets and straps, and bring help. The team will not load your vehicle.
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.
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.
For someone shopping from Apex, that structure is what produces factory-direct pricing, and a best price guarantee stands behind it. The store has earned more than 1,300 five-star Google reviews along with 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, Kincaid, Vaughan-Bassett, Universal Furniture, Fusion Furniture, Rowe, International Furniture Direct, and Hooker Furniture, among others. We also offer Renew Staging & Design, an in-house staging and design service.
You will find us open Monday-Friday 11am-7pm, Saturday 10am-5pm, Sunday 12pm-5pm. Since floor stock changes, call (919) 600-1994 ahead of a trip from Apex. Se Habla Espanol.

What Shoppers Ask Most
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.
What if I need to reschedule my delivery?
Give us at least 24 hours' notice. If we are not notified within that window, the scheduled delivery fee still applies, because the truck and crew have already been committed to that route.
Does outdoor furniture need assembly?
Minimal light assembly for factory-direct items, with instructions and hardware included. Delivery crews assemble and remove packaging if you choose delivery.
Can outdoor furniture stay out year-round here?
Frames rated for full exposure often can; cushions generally should not. Plan cushion storage before buying, since that is the detail most people underestimate.
Where do cushions go in winter?
Plan this before buying rather than after. Cushion storage is the most common outdoor furniture regret. Deck boxes, a garage shelf, or a closet all work, but the volume is usually larger than people expect.
