It’s that time of year when many parents are rushing around, trying to get everything in order for the start of a new school year. For some, there are a few bigger-ticket items to add to their shopping lists this year as they are sending post-secondary school students off to embark on the adventure of a lifetime.
At this age, it’s not just about school supplies anymore. These young people will need several pieces of furniture to outfit their first apartments and see them through their studies.
Ashley HomeStore’s Dorm Days promotion was designed to save families time and money. They’re offering all of the key pieces students will need, this year and beyond.

Studying
Keep those books and study materials organized with a sturdy bookcase. You can find options at very reasonable prices, starting from just $59.96. Cube organizer styles are especially great for maintaining a tidy look overall while providing flexible storage. Search for just the right bookcase to fit your student’s space.
A comfortable desk is perhaps the most important piece in your student’s new furniture collection. Find a desk they won’t mind spending hours working at, from just $99.99.

The desk comes with a handy hutch. Choose the best configuration for your space. If you have a bit of extra room, your student might enjoying using this L-shaped desk, which has built-in shelving.
Lounging
In between classes and study sessions, your student will want to be able to rest and recharge, to have friends over to hang out and watch a movie.
The Darcy collection of sofas is affordably priced and super comfortable. These are currently priced at just $549.99 and feature ultra-soft upholstery and plush pillow-top armrests.
