Think about your Rear, Dear!

Furniture can look great, but if you do not like sitting on it, I have one question. WHY? my wife and I differ greatly on this subject. I do not know how many times my wife has drug me to a furniture store (one of my least favorite places to go, mind you) to see a piece of furniture that is "so cute!" Only to get there and see a nice piece of furniture that is totally useless to sit in. Then a great discussion ensues

My take on great furniture is that is has to be three things: 1) First and foremost, It has to be comfortable or it will not be used and it will be an expensive weight to hold the carpet down. 2) It has to be sturdy. With that kind of investment it has to be around a while. There are numerous options for when "colors change" or the wife gets tired of it. 3) I am not super particular about color. I just do not want it to show life, or you are scared to use if for getting something on it.

That is pretty much it! I am not to picky. THe only problem is that it knocks out of bunch of my wife's choices.

There is so much personal taste in the decision of furniture. My suggestion is selecting a piece that will look great 15 to 20 years from now. Will your (or your or should I say wife's) taste change in that amount of time. ABSOLUTELY, it will. Just make a choice that will last through some of those changes.
