I don't like it Takes too long to make my decision... I'll go back to places 2 or 3 times, it's fucking tiring

That said, I need some new living room furniture

I just bought a leather reclining couch.

It was fun and stressful at the same time.

Couches are misleading, they seem all nice and sturdy and comfy in the store. Then you get them home and like 2 months later, the padding is all flat, and the fabric is all streched out and distorted. Some seem to hold their shape better than others, and I can never tell which ones are the right kind to buy.

i like cushions. japanese zabutons. pile enough of those babies up and poof! instant couch. break them down and presto! easy chairs!

I cant stand the assembly aspect.

I need this

Do you like it or loathe it? Not much of a shopper myself, but my furniture is 17 years old and is ready for the junk pile. One of my rocking chairs broke when I was sitting in it a few weeks ago (! ) so it's off to the stores for me to find two new rocking chairs and a sofa as well. After 17 years, I would say that I got my money's worth on them, since they're ripped and stained anyway.

I have stains on my pool table cloth.




Someone spilled their drink on it a few years ago.

Dunno what your budget is but if I could afford it my house would be full of Horchow. http://www.horchow.com

I love going with/for others but, not for myself. I get a vision of what I want and I have to have it! When I start looking, nothing ever matches up to what I want. Or sometimes its's insanely expensive so I have to change something in my Grand Plan.

Have fun!

Interesting how there's no prices shown on their furniture, so it MUST be expensive.

I don't do it very often...(we ain't got it like THAT)...but I do need to
buy a coffee table. I'm embarrassed to say that we've been using a large
cooler in it's place for years now.

I'm looking for a large one with plenty of storage underneath.

Recently we spent almost $2000 on a sectional couch w/ two pullout
recliners and a pull out bed.

loads of stuff we don't really need! as well as the storage shelves we really do need for the garage hopefully!

Yesterday we bought a coffee table...neutral tiles surrounded
with natural wood...and plenty of room underneath for wicker baskets.

Not a bad price either...$200
