For all you guys who are new to shipping furniture that comes in parts....UPS drivers fucking hate the online furniture industry, and they hate YOU for buying heavy, bulky pieces online. IMHO, they treat these large packages with particular disdain, and unless you have a company who has truly engineered their packaging processes, if it came fucked up the first time, there is STRONG likelihood it will come fucked up the second time. Same packaging process, same shipping process with angry UPS bros. I actually gave up on a piece because it came seriously fooked up 3 or 4 times.

I've ordered several pieces of furniture from Amazon. None came damaged. :iono:

FedEx is the shitty one down here doe, UPS is solid.

Hacking Jefes thread to say we’re thinking West Elm for a new living room set, as well. Looking like a leather sofa and some upholstered recliners. I am much excited for this direction.

Really stoked with the coffee table we grabbed from them yesterday. I'll try to remember to post up a pic in the Home thread tonight. I really like a lot of their stuff, and the construction seems solid.

When I talk to West Elm again I am asking for a freight shipment if possible but they might not have any control since that particular item comes directly from the manufacturer. I will give it one more shot to see if between the two deliveries I can build a damage free bed. I am hoping that the stuff getting delivered on Wednesday is flawless. Sitting on folding chairs is getting old.

Evidence of adulting was delivered. 5/7 experience. Love all this wood. Heh.

Console, awaiting television and such...

Dining shiz...

The 20" extension...

With a splash of elegant decor...

I am full :fuckyeah: on all of this. Table is not staying in that spot. I have to move the TV into the console then move the dining table. Very glad I opted to start with a single bench though given the amount of space there is. Getting the extendable table was also a quality choice.

I just ate dinner at my dining room table. First dinner at a real table in a month.

:fuckyeah: we got two recliners. We're worried about comfort. Our current set desperately needs replaced but it has been well loved and is not lacking in comfort at all. We live in our sofas. We had planned for two sofas like our current set up (all of which have recliners that are used frequently) but ended up going with one sofa and two stand-alone recliners. My one concern had been the comfort on recliners. This put me at ease.

Jefe - How is the grain on the dining table? I get worried about uneven surfaces on that for wine glasses but it looks like the lighting might have made it look deeper than it is.

Last time I was there I fell in love with one of the leather recliners. Shoulda bought it but it was rather :waxer: and I had no place to put it in my house :sad:

I like. Yeah the recliner I liked was similar looking to that I think. It's been a while though.

Also, Target stepping up their furniture game or something? That chair looks really good!

Their online furniture selection is actually massive. Like....massive. 5/7.

I like the stuff we have, but it's not really 100% to my taste. Mid century modern is back in, and I love it.

:dat: I was actually showing my Mom everything we got at lunch yesterday and she was all "oh Lawd, your grandpartents had chairs that looked just like that that we took to Goodwill 20 years ago."

I will never ever go back to low ceilings but I'll take the lines and profiles.

It is a cheaper, simpler way of designing and building furniture, but I prefer the simplicity and use of wood to warm the piece up. If it's done right it is warm, inviting, and calm. If it's done wrong it's cold and cheap looking.

Ok, recommend me a show rack, preferably black, not wall mounted or over the door. Need something in the downstairs room to wrangle my shit. Only other piece of furniture in the room is a black Ikea bookcase (5x5).

I was thinking something simple like this:

I could find something at Target, but Amazon seems much easier to search and destroy.
