Was just (less than 5 minutes ago) outside - Room and Board Furniture arrived (Anders 9 drawer dresser).. 5,000 dollars.

The back was ripped off the dresser, the legs were completely scratched and destroyed - the front however looked decent.

The item was boxed on the truck - so the only way this could have happened is if R&B decided to either A send me a dresser that was already returned once - or B sent me a display model.

I called service and they apologized - I told them I wouldn't take delivery - but they indicated the item isn't in stock and wouldn't be till sometime in April. That would make 14 weeks to get a 5000 dollar dresser.

Anyone recommend a comparable dresser with a shorter delivery time than end April?

Yes - this is lovely - but I've read online that lead times are 11 - 13 weeks. Now - I think and find 6 weeks to be EXTRAVAGENT to expect to wait for a piece of furniture - so tripling that is like - what? Do they have hamsters biting the wood to make the drawers? Buy more hamsters for X sake.

But seriously - I love this dresser - can't wait 13 weeks for it - so how does the Room and Board Linear dresser compare?

Had to come back after some more time searching. I'm starting to understand Google.

Modern Bedding = to Google - any bedding made in China with horrendous overdone patterns which were produced in the last 10 years.

Minimalist Bedding = to Google - very large ugly patterns with garish colors guaranteed to make you vomit until you pass out

Designer bedding = Some 4 year old paid to draw on cloth with a crayon which is then mass printed and sold at JC Penney

By the way - websters defines Miinimalist as: a style or technique (as in music, literature, or design) that is characterized by extreme spareness and simplicity

This means to me - but call me crazy - no patterns, garish colors, oversized prints of any kind. The only item that should distinguish a minimalist look is the actual weave of the fabric and the material - perhaps solid colors - but even that is pushing it.

Yes - these are gorgeous - but impossible to find online. All the stores mentioned do not show this bedding anywhere on their site. Just attempt a search on Modern, or minimalist, or even mascule bedding - or bed linens. I have spent 2 days searching on line for something similar to the above - all solid colors, no patterns - where the tones make up the excitement. Nada null zilch. Can't be found on line anyway - which is why I hate articles like this that point something out - and don't tell you where to get the stuff. Its more than annoying.

Then you go to sites like Charles Rogers and others mentioned - and they show platform beds dressed nicely - so you assume - they actually sell this bedding. Go to the bedding section though and what do you find - frilly, overpatterned, overcolored monstrosities that would give me nightmares. Contemporary bedding seems code on line for horrbily obnoxious extra large overdone patters found here.
