Looking for sit/standing desk that is better looking than what I currently see.

I just got a WFH role starting in June, and I’d love a standing desk optional desk but the majority of my home is pretty standard mid-century modern/danish aesthetic.

Just wanted to throw it out there if anybody had a recommendation for a maybe more stylish standing desk I’d greatly appreciate it! 🙏🏼

Looking for a king-size bed with under-bed storage. Upholstered preferred. Looking for something durable and sturdy. Hoping to spend about $2000. Any recommendations? Places to avoid?

This is what I am currently considering:

I ordered a couch from them 14 weeks ago, and the order still says “processing.” 3 weeks ago, customer service let me know that the couch was “scheduled to be finished within the week” but here we are with no updates since then. Customer service hasn’t been responsive to my last request for an update.

Has anyone else had this experience? Is this just expected from them or should I be worried there’s a larger issue going on? The last time I tried to buy a sofa, the company went bankrupt after taking my order and it was a nightmare getting my money back (interior define- if curious), so I’m just a little on edge. Would love to hear other people’s experience.

We corner mounted our TV, but we are looking for some storage for things now. We want a chest of drawers or stand that has decent space but will fit fairly flush with the TV sticking out from the wall.

The TV is a 55", from side to side it is 48". It's 38" off the floor. We need something that will stick out from the corner of the wall at least 30".

Thank you.

Looking for a set of 4 chaise lounges for my pool. Located in central Jersey, willing to drive out an hour or so for pickup. Indifferent between online and in store. Budget is about $400 per chair (flexible though).

The key thing is we want a very thick cushion. We found these (pictured) at Fortunoff and love them but they’re a bit too pricey. We lean away from wood because we’re afraid of warping but we’re not completely opposed to it. We want them to last at least a few years. Thanks a lot in advance!!

I finally started working again and I was finally going to buy this Hauga storage combination, but they discontinued the sideboard. I'm located in Chicago, IL. I have a budget of $600. Looking for 279cm wide x 199cm tall x 46cm deep (the measurements of the entire thing) 136cm for just the sideboard.

I would like something with this style and only in shades of white. I've tried ikea, walmart and target, but just can't find anything thats similar enough. Online or an actual store is OK.

If I can't buy the whole thing, I would like a sideboard that looks similar to the one pictured here. Thanks.

We’re looking at some outdoor dining and found a beautiful teak set. It’s pricy but well made and I know teak is used on boats often.

The salesman also mentioned they have the same set in acacia wood, and it’s almost half the price. They don’t have any acacia furniture in person though, it’s special order only.

A quick google search shows that acacia isn’t quite as weather resistant as teak. But this will also be sitting inside a 20x20 gazebo that’s surrounded by trees so it will get little to no sun, and only get wet if it’s raining sideways.

Does anyone have experience with acacia wood? Would it be good enough for my use? Just to clarify, it’s the same exact set, just different wood and way different price.

My husband is a big 6’6 420lbs polynesian and constantly breaks our furniture. Couches are pretty much out of the question since he breaks them very often. I bought him a big recliner chair that had a weight capacity of 350lbs (highest I could find) and it broke after a couple weeks. Is there chairs that can hold up to his weight? I’ve looked up and down the internet with no luck so I’m coming to reddit as a last resort

We moved into a small townhouse with two adults and one kid. We frequently have two family members over for movie nights on the weekend, but our new TV room is pretty small and our 3-seater couch is the only piece of permanent furniture that can reasonably fit. I'm looking for something that would allow two adults to sit comfortably on the floor, preferably something that reclines and also folds away, or at least can be stored out of the way easily when not in use.

There are a lot of fold-up, reclining "floor chairs" online but they all seem to have horrendous reviews and complaints that they are cheaply made, not very comfortable and break after a few months. I would gladly pay a hefty sum for something like this that was high-quality and would last for years.

Any ideas?

I’ve been researching a lot of custom couch sites and I’m nervous to buy anything online, but if anyone has any recommendations of other places that do velvet fabrics or personal experiences with interior define please share! I’m searching for this olive color velvet. Show me or tell me where you have had your custom velvet couches made!

Honestly, I would like to get answers from office furniture dealers in the US because I believe that dealers know the market better than other market participants. But if you are not one, I'll appreciate your answer too.

I want to understand if this trend has huge market potential or not.

Best,

Most recent search results from this sub are 4 years old. They all recommend the brand.

However it is the last on this list:

Well below la-z-boy which this sub hates

Love the new collection by Burrow and CB2. When are their best yearly sales? Any other options with similar modern styling that is more affordable?

I liked the Lenette swivel chair in the show room. But wondering if anyone has experiences with this chair? It appears that Joybird generally doesn't get much love....

I come across a lot of old threads where people are suggesting high end brands but I’m not a fan of the timeless look and prefer something that looks more modern and trendy, things you’d see on crate and barrel but with a good build quality.

I am looking at having some upholstered furniture custom made, and this is my first time doing so. I am hoping to get well made pieces that I love and will last a long time, and I’m willing to pay for quality (although my budget is definitely not unlimited). I’m not looking for something super specific but I like the idea of getting exactly what I want.

I’ve found a company locally that has quoted me what seems to be a reasonable price - similar/a bit less than Ethan Allen or Pottery Barn etc.

What questions should I be asking / what requirements should I have to ensure I am actually getting a high quality piece? I am pretty familiar with fabrics and textiles so that part I feel confident in, but I don’t know what I should be specifying in terms of foam, frame, etc.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can share!

Have to start by saying buying a couch sight unseen (unsat?) feels scary (guess I'm a slow adopter). I will be replacing a Pottery Barn Pearce sectional with wedge and roll arms after (previously shared) diesel oil fumes ruined it.

I'm curious about anyone with real world use of MadeRight CA couches and/or sectionals. Thoughts on comfort? Wear and tear? I think my husband will be even harder to convince to buy sight unseen but we just haven't been able to find the right combo of size, comfort and price in brick and mortar stores locally (PB, C&B, West Elm, LazBoy, etc).

It appears they are pretty new, and a breakaway from Benchmade Modern. So I realize I'm not going to get any feedback like "here's my couch after 5 years, check out all the sagging."

Appreciate any feedback!

So I’m looking for a sofa that will withstand 2 golden retrievers and settled on leather. Had found this sofa and loveseat combo for 2,000 and was wondering if it would do the trick.

I was confused about top grain vs genuine leather in the description.

Ordered Feb 8, arrived Apr 8. This is the Dresden with a custom bench seat, plush cushion option, Mathis ink fabric. Ordered two for under 5k.

Overall very happy, delivery was a breeze, they didn't send periodic updates but Ryan of insidersguide fame responded when we requested an update after about a month and let us know it would be done the following week. It is unbelievably comfortable. We got the Mathis ink fabric after being sent this swatch accidentally, it wasn't on the website at all, but we went for it and really like it. Really no criticisms.

Anyone looking for a couch, read the insiders guide on dreamsofa

We are looking at buying a la z boy trouper sectional for 5k. Has anyone purchased this couch and have any feedback on it.
