Each group of shops is targeting a different market. It all depends on what exactly you're wanting out of the pieces.
Two places I avoid, and are my very last stop, due to overpricing are MacArthurs and Eisenberg's Furniture especially.

I went into Sojourn - best customer service I have gotten anywhere, for anything. 110% does exist, and you get it at Sojourn. Highly recommend a visit.
Also - Eisenberg is definitely highly/over priced. Bought a couple peices at Jacques (owned by Eisenberg) because it was
exactly what I wanted and was willing to pay a premium for it. For perspective, had I opted for the option that was
close to what I wanted, I probably would have saved 20% buying elsewhere. For what it's worth though, the customer service was solid, the delivery dates were met and I don't regret giving them my money.
Lastly, about The Brick....for anyone that shops there, I sincerely wish you the best, but you'll get zero sympathy if (when) there are problems. Buying furniture at The Brick is like eating at a Chinese buffet....50/50 chance you'll regret walking in.
