<font color=skyblue>Any of you ever try to buy a bedroom furniture package for a child? The cost can be about $1500.00 for a four-piece outfit and I think that is crazy. The cost is more for adult suits. I mean, its not like the crap is made out of black walnut wood...its usually either pine or that chipboard stuff.

Anyone know how to find some quality stuff at affordable rates?</font>

That's very simple. Furniture is something you only once in a while. It's not something you buy every week or so. They have to make their profit on that one sale. Oh you may come back in 5-or 10 years.

<font color=skyblue>Point taken. However, I know of five furniture factories that were put out of business in NC this year because of lower-priced items from China. In order to survive, these people will have to figure out how to do business in today's market. </font>

One Word... IKEA, okey you have to put it together your self and it's Swedish but it's probably 50% cheaper than... anywhere...


and no it's not crap, I have had a desk I bought there for 7 years and it's a sturdy as ever... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I wish I was Macgyver and I could build a bedroom with a toothpick and a piece of yarn...

I agree with you why oh why. I mean the crib we bought when Sydney was born was 600 bucks. Then when she gets into a big girls bed another 600 bucks just for the bed. And then we also bought a new dresser to go with it. I feel sorry for Hudson he is getting all the handme downs. Poor guy. ;)

What is wrong with that? :D
