Date: March 20th, 2017 7:00 PM Author: Ruddy aphrodisiac fat ankles Is the furniture that much better than whatever you can get at living spaces for 1/2 the price or less?
I am guessing no. |
Date: March 20th, 2017 7:07 PM Author: Aggressive lascivious shrine Nope. It's all about the wood. Much better to find stuff at goodwill and paint it then it is to buy furniture at retailer store. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3559154&forum_id=2#32876189) |

you could say the exact same thing for design within reach, just a smaller niche and furniture that's 10x as expensive |

I wouldn't buy a upholstered bed. Also for something like a bed, you don't put beverages and scratch the wood often (unlike a desk or dining table or coffee table) so I don't see the point of getting a nice wood bed. I honestly think IKEA bedframes work.
I find room and board to be nicer quality than c&b for similar prices. |
