I, too, would like to know the source of the fire pit chairs. Also: the paint color in the bathroom. Very nice! Cara's Perfect Starter Home Bungalow House Call Flag this comment	5/14/12 12:08 AM
I was mighty happy after the birth of my daughter that I had saved two boxes of my larger clothes, much of which I hadn't worn since before I married. Because if there's two things I hate more than shopping for clothes, it's spending money on clothes that I'll only wear for a short time and shopping with an infant in tow. 5 Questions: Deciding to Keep or Purge Flag this comment	1/17/12 4:35 PM
In an ideal world-- one in which I'd invested in Google stock early on-- I would furnish my home entirely with pieces from Room and Board. Where to Start for All New Furniture? Good Questions Flag this comment	10/13/11 12:31 PM
Transit maps from far away cities make great wrapping paper, too. Try a New York City subway map with a small apple ornament attached to the bow. One Gift Wrapped 4 Ways Flag this comment	12/3/10 10:19 PM
Another nod for Gulliver here! The go-to book "Baby Bargains" gives Ikea cribs an "A" grade for value. I'm glad we went bargain-y on the crib. It made spending $1k on the Monte "Luca" glider a bit easier to swallow. Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Good Questions: Feedback and Revews of IKEA Cribs Flag this comment	7/24/09 12:23 AM
I love the look of Room & Board furniture, but I'm always so disappointed with the craftsmanship of anything there that isn't a classic Eames or Herman Miller piece. Last weekend I stopped by to fondle the Anders dresser I spied in their latest catalog. It looked great front the front-- but oh the disappointment when I discovered the drawers are pressed wood and veneers. :-P Nineteen-hundred bucks for this? Ikea-quality furniture should have Ikea prices. Can anyone suggest a furniture company that uses quality construction (solid wood, dovetail joinery) and has a modern aesthetic? I'm considering Spectra Wood and Gat Creek dressers, but wish they looked more Heywood Wakefield and less Shaker. Any advice is appreciated!

I bought a Bernhardt love seat at Z Gallerie in 1998. I don't remember the model name but it cost about $1400 and it has feather and foam cushions, easy-to-clean fabric and a mid-20th century shape that I love. I'm not sure if they still carry this brand; it seems everything in ZGal has changed since then! My tip of the day: I would definitely stay away from Scandinavian Designs. My husband bought a sleeper sofa there less than 5 years ago and it has since fallen apart. Really shoddy stuff. Good Questions: Are Z Gallerie Sofas a Wise Buy? Flag this comment	7/6/07 5:52 PM
