You only get 10% if you allow us to use your fancy chairs in the studio.

I'm in the furniture business and a quick piece of advice I could give to you guys looking for good furniture at good prices is to go to the large furniture shows. There are 2 that I suggest. The http://www.highpointmarket.org/ for East Coasters and http://www.lasvegasmarket.com/ for West Coasters. Towards the end of the show, the smaller exhibitioners will sell their merchandise at and below wholesale price to people who are willing to take display models.

Scot: My parents have been in the furniture business a long time and their bed is as old as their marriage.

Thanks Daniel. But that doesn't help those of us who live in Texas or the Midwest. Got any other good links - like online sites for NC furniture stores that have good prices for good quality contemporary furniture?

Only if you let me stick a needle in your neck.

Because contemporary furniture is trying to exude minimalism, and the more minimal it is the more it costs....something to do with less is more therefore it must cost more.

But my neck doesn't hurt any more. PLYRS 3 is a pain in the neck - how about you do it to him?
