Bedroom Furniture

Where did you get yours?? The set we currently have is DH's from his bachlor days. We have got a new mattress in the last couple years, but the dressers are showing their wear and just we not well made to begin with. I am trying to talk him into a new set--with a KING bed. I know we can look at Levin's etc... Just wondering where you go yours and how you like it. :) (aka get the board moving some today.)

Re: Bedroom Furniture

  • We got ours at Roomful Express, which is obviously no longer around!  I can't remember the brand of the furniture, but I know they sold it at other stores.  We also moved to a king bed at this time and I can't imagine ever going back to a queen!  Going to a king was as life changing as DVR!  haha!
  • Ha! I can believe that. :) While in Key West over the weekend we had a king and then coming home to a queen--and a 4 yr old sneaking into our bed-- was so not cool. Ha.
  • Our set is older too. I bought it from Ikea probably around 9-10 years ago. It's held up really well though.
     
  • Going to a king was the best move we ever made!!!  well worth it.  we got our set at Levin.

  • Ours is vintage but my parents have bought several over the last few years at Balue City and have been very happy with them. Theirs is from Ethan Allen.

    Oh, I agree with the move to a King size mattress it is awesome. Although our move was because we used to sleep with two 100 lb dogs.

  • Our dressers are from 380 Auction in Murrysville. We moved to a king when we built our house, and just ended up getting an upholstered headboard from Target online. Love our king bed, worth every cent!
  • Our furniture is just a hodge podge of what we brought from our parent's houses. We did upgrade our mattresses though (Value City Furniture) and HIGHLY recommend going to king size!
  • We got ours at Ashley furniture in Boardman, OH. 
     
  • We bought ours a year ago at Levin.  It's a Queen set that we got an awesome deal on because it was being discontinued (two nightstands, headboard/footboard/rails, dresser and media dresser).  They wheel and deal a little at Levin, too.  I think the sales guy threw in the second nightstand for free and I don't think we even asked or implied anything to make him throw it in.

    We had to exchange the footboard back at the store, though, because they dented it when assembling and we didn't notice until they were gone.

    We also just bought a dining table and server from Levin. I agree with going King.  We couldn't in our old townhouse and I can't wait to upgrade!

  • we have had an Ikea set for the past 6 years. it was doing a fine job until we moved and since then it has been less than awesome. It didn't handle the move so well.

    But the real reason I respond is to be the voice of descent.  I am glad we just have a queen sized bed (and small dogs).  K and I sleep close to the edges of the bed. So when we sleep in a King we are literally 3-4 feet away from each other. Now a king sized blanket on a queen bed. That is something we need.

    See, and I think this is the BEST part about a king sized bed.  HIM - all the way over there.  ME - all the way over here.  I get to sleep in peace with no one's feet touching me or pointy knees in my back.   It's like sleeping alone, but not!  

    We have a Queen, but I long for a king.

    But we don't touch at night at all. If I am kicked it is by Mo, and he sleeps right up against me no matter how much room he has to spread out. so a bigger bed does not solve that problem for me.  so all you really need is two small dogs that like to sleep in the valley between the two people to keep Walt's feet and knees on his side.

  • Our stuff is about 10 years old. We bought it at Levin and it's held up well. I have no idea who made it. I tried with all my might to convince Steve to get all new furniture when we moved our bedroom upstairs a few years ago, mainly because I wanted a king bed, but I failed. I dream of a king bed, especially when most nights by 2 am I'm sharing the bed with the cat and a 2 year old as well as Steve :)

    EXACTLY!  I can't ever imagine going back to a queen now, I would feel so cramped and invaded!!

    I'm on team king size bed. Some days I think the people in the 50's had it right by having his and hers twin beds :P

    Amen!  I wish our room was big enough for 2 queen beds, now that would be awesome!

  • I'm glad that I'm not that only one who thinks sleeping alone is awesome!  :)
  • Amanda, I do the king sized blanket on the queen bed, and still sometimes I wake up cold because Steve has stolen too much of it, despite the fact that when I make the bed the blanket is almost on the floor on both sides.
