Heres the bed set its on sale just under 3 k with the cali king bed! I need to get some more pieces tho...is that expensive??!



I paid over 8k for my bedroom set with the additional pieces... and that was on sale. 3k is a great deal! I am sure you probably already did.. but just in case you didn't... make sure it is made from good wood -nice and strong. You don't want to pay that much $$ and have it break.



thanks! I just hope it doesnt come with that mirror.



i like that mirror... it looks like a very nice set! they prob have different options though. A lot of the bedroom sets we looked at had 2 or 3 options for each piece.



i hope so it just looks too small. I have to have jason go to macys...i still am barred from the mall



you have to place it in your room. does macys have a room designer on there site.
i purchased from thomasville and there website has this thing that you can put in the measurements of your room and then place your exact furniture in it to see how much room you have.



im looking on thomasville now...lets see if theres something similar

I 100% agree. You had to see FH knock on the wood and shake it, I was like are you crazy!



My dad insisted we be rough with the furniture in the showroom to make sure everything we bought was a good quality... so when I found a dining room set I really liked... FH plopped down on to the dining room chair in the showroom (not even that hard) and the back of the chair snapped right off! The wood broke right in half! The salesmen was so embarrassed. It was so funny though. We didn't buy anything from that place... I am so glad we took my dads advice though. Imagine having company over and your chairs break.... that would be embarassing



I remember that

yea it was hilarious

Maybe you can get some sample floor plans of the places you are looking at? I def think 7 feet would be able to fit in most bedrooms. I mean if he def needs a california king to be comfortable (and he is really tall so I think he would be better off with it) you don't really have much of a choice anyway. you can't buy a bed thats smaller if he isn't going to be comfortable right? I would try to buy it while its on sale!

we can go furniture shopping if you want! I do need some end tables (and a wine cabinet) then again... milk crates could work too! then fh might be too embarrassed to invite his friends over. that could be a good thing!

I want FHs friends to come over (not the creepy ones anyways) bc I registered for cute entertaining ware - and I have no one to entertain - except the kids - i got a small toy box and a pack and play for when they sleep over

If i have the energy i need to shop I have a spicerack, some towels, a cappuchino machine that someone bought me, and some bakeware

FH has his friends here all the time. I have people here all the time too so I cant really complain but, some of his friends I just can't deal with. They aren't creepy or anything... in fact I don't know exactly what it is... they just bother me. I love entertaining though!

I am always going to target, bed bath and beyond, and the mall for new stuff. If you ever want to join me your more then welcome to! I can pick you up (its on the way anyway).

Don't let them talk you into buying right away, keep looking at different stores in order to get the best deal! And if I were you, i'd stay away from the mom and pop stores...i've heard waayyy too many horror stories on the news about little stores picking up mattresses that other people throw out on the street, 'refurbishing' them, and then selling them at market price...bedbugs, urine stains and all!
