Default Need nice modern furniture

I need a couch, sofa, coffee table, dinning room set , desk and maybe a bedroom set. I dont know if I keep my old one. New house fresh start so I might start with a new one. Whats a good place to buy furniture not really my thing. My mom only buys over priced Italian junk which I dont want but I guess is her thing since my thing is watches,cars, and ect.

Also what do I go for a 2 bedroom or a 1 bedroom? I kind of want to try living alone for once in my life. I lived with my gf 2 years ago but she ran things it was her place.

I brought mine from Design Within Reach as well. If you can't afford DWR, try IKEA.

Ikea has some nice looking furniture, but it's all pressed wood crap. It'll fall apart quickly.

I haven't had any issues with my Ikea furniture. It's only as good as how you put it together.

You'd think someone would be able to custom design some furniture for a man of your status and power. Get on it.

Call up Karim Rashid or Marc Newson and flash the watch & wallet. They'll build you 1 drink coaster.
