What do you have for game room furniture? - Going for the Gold in San Diego, CA (continued)
Dear Going for the Gold in San Diego, CA,
Ping-pong tables were our topic last time, but today, we will turn our attention toward another great bit of game room furniture that you can find here. It is perhaps the game table that comes first to the minds of most when they think of game rooms, the pool table.
While it is the foremost in people's minds, pool tables are often eschewed by many who think that they have to be expensive. This is simply not the case. All of our pool tables at Coleman Furniture come with a low-price guarantee. This means that you will not find a pool table anywhere else that is cheaper. If you do, we will beat the price by five percent. We do not want cost to prohibit you from the fun, relaxation, and enjoyment of owning a pool table.
No matter what your style, we have something for your taste, from the intricately carved Charleston Pool Table to the simpler contemporary style of our bestselling Maverick Pool Table. Whatever your choice for pool table, you will still need accessories to accompany it. Check the blog next time for a look at our pool table accessories.
What do you have for game room furniture? - Going for the Gold in San Diego, CA (continued)
Dear Going for the Gold in San Diego, CA,
Last time we discussed foosball tables for your game room, but there are many other types of game tables as well. You might like to put a ping-pong table in your home. These popular game tables are a favorite indoor sport for many age groups.
The advantage of a ping-pong table is that it is a much more physically involved game table than something slower such as pool. The ping-pong tables themselves are over five feet long and require ample room on both ends for players, but if space is an issue, you can find models that are designed for indoor and outdoor use. One of these at Coleman Furniture is the DMI Sports Advantage Outdoor Tennis Table. The surface of this table is crafted to resist water damage and temperature extremes.
That way, even if there is not enough room inside your home for your ping-pong table, you can still have one and just store the table and play it outside.
This is just one example of the many ping-pong tables that you can find for the guaranteed low price. Next time we will cover another of the many types of game room furniture at Coleman Furniture.

What do you have for the game room? - Going for the Gold in San Diego (continued – Part 4)
Dear Going for the Gold in San Diego, CA,
Last blog, the discussion was on the darts available for your new dart board, but we also have other furniture for game rooms.
Funny name, serious game. Our foosball tables bring the rapid pace of soccer inside your home. Foosball is a popular game that is quickly picked up by anyone, and by having a foosball table for it in your game room, you can create a recreational place for you or your teenager and friends at which to meet. This will save you money in the long run by not having to buy drinks at a bar, and you can keep an eye on your teen and his friends while they play. This is much more preferable to them going out to places unknown to just "hang out". It has been shown that when teenagers are bored, they are more likely to get into trouble. Keep boredom at bay and provide them with a safe place to go by putting a foosball table in your home.
Whether your game room is large or small, we have a foosball table for you. Our tables range in size from 39" for the DMI Sports American Legend Simpsons Foosball Table to 56" for the DMI Sports American Legend FT500GF Foosball Table. There are many others to discover, and come back next time for a closer look at more of our game room furniture.

What do you have for the game room? - Going for the Gold in San Diego (continued – Part 3)
Dear Going for the Gold in San Diego, CA,
Last time we discussed the great selection of dart boards available at Coleman Furniture. Today, our discussion of game room furniture will turn to the supplies that you need for your new dart board.
While a competitive sport, darts is often a very personal game. Many people play alone or just in practice, and the type of darts that they throw are just as important to them as the pool cue that they use to play pocket billiards. This is why the when you purchase a dart board, it often will not include any darts. This allows you to find the best set of darts for your particular style and throwing ability. All of our darts have shafts constructed out of tough tungsten. The tips on our quality products are all steel. You might expect to pay an arm and a leg for these, but our darts come with our low price guarantee. You will not find a cheaper price anywhere else for your darts.
Next time, we will cover more of our game tables.

What do you have for game room furniture? - Going for the Gold in San Diego, CA (Part Two)
Dear Going for the Gold in San Diego, CA,
Don't you feel lucky. Your question will be covered over nearly a week's worth of blog entries. Believe it or not, that is how many different types of game room furniture that we have at Coleman Furniture. Today you get a look at our dart boards.
All of our dart boards are of the highest quality, and they are made available to you at guaranteed low prices. Many people like to put dart boards in their game rooms in addition to game tables. Since they take up such a small amount of space and are relatively cheap when compared to other game room furniture many people opt for a dart board first. The only amount of space that is needed for them is the area to mount the cabinet on the wall, but at Coleman Furniture, besides the traditional cabinet dart board, we have more technologically advanced arcade-style dart boards such as the DMI Sports Arcade Style Cabinet with Cricket Pro 800 Electronic Game. Even the arcade-style dart boards only use up the same amount of room space as a small book shelf. The benefit of electronic dart boards, is that they automatically keep score, and you will no longer have to argue over the proper tally.
Next, we will take a look at accessories that you will need for your dart boards.
What do you recommend for a game room? - Going for the Gold in San Diego, CA
Dear Going for the Gold in San Diego, CA,
Coleman Furniture has many different choices for game room furniture. In fact, there are so many choices, that this will have to turn into a series to cover them all. So be sure to check the blog over the next few days for the following installment in our game room furniture series.
Today, we will cover the array of air hockey tables available at guaranteed low prices. The choices from which you may have your pick range from the simplest to the most complex. It all depends upon how much you enjoy air hockey and how often you think that you are going to play. Air hockey tables are a great choice since the game itself is incredibly popular. It does not require a lot of prior knowledge to play, and even children can learn the game with ease.
If you are a beginner and you do not have a lot of extra room, you will want to take a look at one of our smaller models such as the four foot long DMI Sports American Legend Simpons Hockey Table. This is a perfect choice for tucking away in the corner of a game or rec room. It could even be stored in the corner of a teenage bedroom. For those who really enjoy air hockey, and if you have enough space, we have the eight foot long DMI Sports American Legend HT470 8FT Hockey Table. This is a must for true air hockey table competitors.
Next time, we will cover another aspect of game room furniture.

Why is it called accent furniture? What is it exactly? - Asking about Accents in Atlanta
Dear Asking about Accents in Atlanta,
Accent furniture covers a wide range of home décor products. In fact, you might find it referred to by some as decorative accents. It basically means anything that you could put into your home to add a little extra. Instead of having a country living room just like everyone else, using pieces such as Floor lamps or accent chairs will create a space that is all your own.
Or if you prefer, you might decide to adorn the walls of your home. Wall art is also under the accent furniture heading.
Not only can it be used to create a spot of interest in a room, but accent furniture can be put to use to create visual effects and illusions in a room. It is very simple to do, and you do not have to be a professional designer to do it. Putting a mirror into a room, especially if it is opposite of a window makes that room appear larger and brighter. Floor and table lamps with their shades directed at different angles can literally "paint" shadows on the wall that can rival any wall art, and an area rug is art for beneath your feet.

What makes oak bedroom furniture so great? Why not just say plain wood bedroom furniture? Oak Oblivious in Oklahoma City, OK
Dear Oak Oblivious in Oklahoma City, OK,
Oak bedroom furnitiure is so highly prized due to its quality and timelessness. For hundreds of years, people have used the materials at hand for construction of their homes and furnishings. Not only is solid oak wood bedroom furniture sturdy, but it is realiable as well. Many people like these qualities and so they specifically ask for oak bedroom furniture instead of just wood bedroom furniture that happens to be made of oak.

The only thing that limits it is your imagination. The styles also vary from the classic to the contemporary. There are also different types of beds such as daybeds, bunkbeds, and sleigh beds.

What are some tips when looking for wood children's furniture? Wood Wonderer in Seattle, Washington
Dear Wood Wonderer in Seattle, Washington,
Wood children's furniture can be found in a variety of styles and hues. When you are shopping for wood children's furniture it is very important to be sure that you are purchasing only the highest quality of furniture for the price, but high quality does not have to cost you an arm and a leg. All of the wood children's furniture at Coleman Furniture is name-brand, and it all lives up to the standards set by the most loved and trusted brands of wood children's furiture. Not only will you find brand names at Coleman Furniture, such as Coaster, Vaughn-Bassett, and Homelegance, but you will find them for guaranteed low prices.
Something else to look at when browsing for wood children's furniture is to see if the company has a wood furniture protection plan. This is a separate option that will cover the cost of repair or replacement of your wood children's furniture if something should happen to it such as a gouge, scratch, or scar. This is a good idea to opt for, especially since children can be so rough with their wood children's furniture.

My kids need more floor space in their room. Do you have any kids loft beds? - Loft Lonely in Las Vegas
Dear Loft Lonely in Las Vegas,
Yes, Coleman Furniture has many kids loft beds from which to choose, and they all come with at a guaranteed low price. Our kids loft beds are available in a variety of woods or metal. You can opt for a set of bunk beds, or a single loft bed.
Bunk beds are also kids loft beds. A kids loft bed we have is a pair of twin-sized wood and metal bunk beds that make up the Coaster "2248" Bunk Bed. The top and bottom bunk of this bed may also be separated into two twin beds. If you prefer a kids loft bed that is of solid wood construction take a look at the Coaster "5608" Bunk Bed. This is ideal for a child who needs a bit larger bed than a simple twin, but lacks the room for a full-sized bed. These two stacked jumbo twin beds, are built atop a set of drawers. The bottom drawers could easily save you floor space in the children's bedroom, since you will not need a chest of drawers.
For a metal kids loft bed that houses a desk beneath the mattress, there is the Coaster "7280" Bunk Bed.
By having the desk under this kids loft bed, you will not have to have a separate piece of furniture.
There are many other kids loft beds at Coleman Furniture. Just take a look.

Dear Hankering for Handpainted in Houston,
Yes, Coleman Furniture can help. We have a variety of handpainted children's furniture all at guaranteed low prices.

If you need to find handpainted furniture for an older child or teenager, the Homelegance "Chateau" 7 Piece Bedroom Set, is a fine choice. This set comes with a larger full-sized bed, better for an
adolescent, as well as a chest, mirror, and nightstand and dresser. There is also a door chest to match as an optional piece. This handpainted children's furniture brings the elegance of a French chateau into your child's bedroom.

What is the best type of furniture for my children's bedroom? They are very tough on furniture. - Mom Going Mad in Memphis
Dear Mom Going Mad in Memphis,
Coleman Furniture has many children's bedroom furniture options that will last throughout your children's growing up. It does not matter if they like to jump on their daybed, or use their desk as a fort, all of the children's bedroom furniture at Coleman Furniture is of the highest quality, so it will be tough enough to last the ages, and like everything else that we sell, all of our children's bedroom furniture is available at a guaranteed low price.
The trick to buying long-lasting children's bedroom furniture is to make sure that it is high quality. Children's bedroom furniture that is the in-house brand of a large department or multi-service store is not going to be sturdy enough to withstand the test of time. Why would you buy your children's bedroom furniture from the same store from which you purchase 100 pound bags of kitty litter and 50-count packages of breakfast cereal? Where you buy it matters.
For the toughest of youngsters, metal children's bedroom furniture is an option. Take a look at the Coaster "2446" Daybed. This space saver has a futon beneath the bunk bed, making it perfect for small rooms, and the sturdy metal tubing construction will be as hardy as the toughest hardwood. If your youngsters prefer wood children's bedroom furniture, there are many options there, too. See how they like the hand-painted look of the Homelegance "Cassidy" 7 Piece Bedroom Set.
Because all of the children's bedroom furniture sold at Coleman Furniture is from the best brands, it is constructed of the highest-quality materials, and will last even the toughest childhood.

I need a daybed. What kinds do you have for a children's bedroom? - Needing a Nighttime Daybed in Nashville
Dear Needing a Nighttime Daybed in Nashville,
Coleman Furniture has many daybeds that are just right for a children's bedroom. If you are looking for a daybed specifically for a girl's bedroom, you might want to try the Coaster "4814" Daybed. This has a country look with its white-washed finish and lattice backing, perfect for the cottage room of a little girl's dreams. It also has a pop-up trundle option that makes finding extra sleeping space for slumber parties easy. At some time or another, every young girl yearns for a canopy bed. For these young dreamers, there is the Homelegance "2579" Daybed. Beneath the canopy of this daybed are accents of porcelain and white hearts. This bed is as fantastical as the dreams had by the girl who sleeps in it.
For a daybed for a young boy, Coleman Furniture has options there, too. The South Shore "494" 7 Piece Daybed Set includes the daybed, dresser, mirror, chest, and nightstand all in a dark blue finish. It is a complete package for furnishing a boy's bedroom. There is also the Coaster "4809" Daybed that merges the look of a sleigh bed with the convienence of a daybed.

What is a captain's bed? Is it something for a pirate-themed room? - Confused on Captains Beds in Baltimore
Dear Confused on Captains Beds in Baltimore,
No, captains beds are not for pirate-themed rooms. For those you might want to try a hammock. In stead, the captain bed is simply a bed on a raised platform that has drawers underneath the mattress rather than empty space. You may have seen these at some furniture stores as being called storage beds.
These are wonderful options for small spaces, and captains beds are a favored piece of furniture for children's bedrooms. By having their drawers under the bed, the likelihood of them tipping over a chest of drawers or being unable to reach the top drawer are banished. Storage drawers beneath a captains bed near the floor are perfect for any child, as he will be able to reach them no matter how tall or small he is. If the child is able to reach the drawers himself, he is more likely to use them in help cleaning up.
Okay back to reality. So, even if your child has easily accessible storage space via the drawers beneath his captains bed, he may still be no more likely to help clean up his room, but at least the excuse that he cannot reach the drawers is gone. He will also have more space in his room for other things if he does not need a chest of drawers thanks to his captains bed. In some cases, it is not a matter of giving the child more room, but having any open space in which to move about. This is often the case seen in the tiny, narrow rooms in apartments and older, especially Victorian-era and earlier homes.
No matter what your reason, you don't have to have a pirate theme to your child's room to put a beautiful and useful captains bed in it.

This set includes everything that you need for the bunk beds plus a computer hutch, computer desk, and a desk chair, all with the homely look of blond oak. If you prefer a children's bedroom in a brighter white, the Vaughan-Bassett "Lifestyle Collection – White" 7 Piece Bunk Bed Set might be for you. It includes everything seen in the Vaughan-Bassett "Cottage – Oak" 6 Piece Bunk Bed Set but it also has an extension for the bottom bunk bed. For a more modern bedroom, Coleman Furniture also has metal bunk beds, such as the Coaster "2446" Bunk Bed that is equipped with a futon beneath the top bunk. You could also consider the Coaster "7280" Bunk Bed. This bunk bed has a desk under the top bunk to save space in a cramped children's bedroom.
These are but a few of the many high quality bunk beds available for you at Coleman Furniture.

Is there anything I can do to help my contemporary dining room furniture last? The set that I got before fell apart after a year. - Life Long in LA
Dear Life Long in LA,
Contemporary dining room furniture today is not the same as it once was. If you purchase your contemporary dining room furniture from a trustworthy furniture store, you will only find quality contemporary dining room furniture. Buying the highest quality is the first step to ensuring that your new furniture will have a long life.
The next step is to ask about a furniture protection policy. This is just like insurance for your contemporary dining room furniture, and it is separate from the furniture manufacturer's warranty. Should your new table get drink rings, scratches or gouges on it, the furniture protection policy will cover the cost of repair or replacement of the affected area. These are typically available for five years, which is much longer than your former contemporary dining room furniture lasted. It is a good idea to invest in one of these for your contemporary dining room since it will help to ensure the long life and beauty of your new dinner set.
Daily maintenance can go a long way toward helping keep your contemporary dining room furniture in good condition for many years to come. All you have to do is just do a weekly dusting with a wood polish or sealant for the up keep of your contemporary dining room furniture.
With these furniture tips, you cannot go wrong to have the long life you seek for your contemporary dining room furniture.
I like wood home office furniture, but what types of wood does it come in and how do I take care of it? Wooden Woes in WA
Dear Wooden Woes in WA,
Wood home office furniture is available at Coleman Furniture in just about any type of wood you can imagine. Whether you like cherry or oak, you will be able to find something that you like to suit the needs you have for wood home office furniture.
Dark cherry wood is used in the Ashley "Flint Creek" wood home office collection, as is seen in the Ashley "Flint Creek" Home Office Armoire. Solid oak is used in the sturdy construction of the Homelegance "8083" Computer Armoire. This computer armoire is a good example of the blond tones that oak can take. Oak can also be seen in darker hues as well. A good example of this is the Coaster "5317" Drawer Filing Cabinet.
As far as taking care of you wood home office furniture, it is recommended to get a furniture protection plan. These are similar to insurance policies for your wood home office furniture. If your computer hutch or desk gets scratched, has drink rings or cigarette burns, the furniture protection policy will pay for the cost of repair or replacement of the affected area. A bit of preventative care also goes a long way toward extending the life of your furniture. Just simple daily tips such as using coasters, dusting with a wood furniture polish or sealant once a week, and general maintainance such as oiling hinges and keeping bolts tightened if they become loose, will all ensure that your wood home office furniture will last for years to come.

Dear Rooting for Roll Tops in Reno, NV,
Roll top desks might be hard to find, but look no further than Coleman Furniture. We have a great selection of roll top desks all at guaranteed low prices. Your search is over. Now all you have to do is decide on which of our roll top desks is right for you and your lifestyle.

You will not have to file your papers in a cabinet or filing cabinet in order to secure them. All you have to do is close the top and take the key with you. Perhaps this was a function of the roll top desk during the Victorian Era, to keep papers out of the nosy hands of servants who might not feel bad about going through pages on an open desk top. If it was not the sole function, a roll top desk could have served this purpose.
If you like the classic look of a roll top desk that brings a hint of the charm of an age gone by, take a look at the Coaster "5307" Computer Desk.

Right now, my computer is sitting on the dining room table, but since I am making a home office, I will need a computer desk. Do you have any options?
Dear Typing on Table in Tennessee,
You are right. You do need a computer desk. Not only could it harm your computer by keeping it on the dining room table, but it also puts your family members out of place when they need to sit down to dinner. Many people work on their dining room tables because they like the ample amount of room, but Coleman Furniture has plenty of computer desks with enough space for you to spread out your work. Another benefit to having a computer desk that is designed for a PC, is that computer desks have plenty of nooks and crannies for your peripherals like printers and scanners, as well as ways to hide away all of the cords that are always a problem.
The Ashley "Prairie View" 7 Piece Computer Desk is a classic work station that has a side desk to fit extra work on. Its dark oak finish and bronze fittings make this an heirloom-worthy computer desk. The high standards of Ashley furniture also ensures that it will still be around for the next generation. For an open, modern look, consider the clean lines of the chrome accented Ashley "Matrix" Desk System. This is an ideal piece for a loft apartment thanks to its style and compact design. If you are seeking a computer desk to tuck away into a corner, try the Coaster "7051" Computer Desk.
No matter what type of computer desk you are looking for, you will be able to find it at Coleman Furniture.

What is the difference between a computer desk and a computer armoire? - Computer Commuter in Cleveland
Dear Computer Commuter in Cleveland,
While you can put a computer in or on both a computer desk and a computer armoire, there are subtle differences between the two of them. To see examples of both, check out the selection of computer armoires and computer desks at Coleman Furniture.
A computer desk is simply a desk. It leaves your PC out on an open desk surface. Some people think being able to see ones computer is a distraction to their room's décor, especially if it is a more old-fashioned style such as country or Victorian. On the other hand, a computer armoire often resembles a wardrobe. It cleverly hides away your computer and all of its cords and peripherals behind a set of cabinet doors. For those with traditional style who like to secret their work in a computer armoire, the Homelegance "8081" French Computer Armoire is a good choice, with its carved cherry finish and classical design. There are also the glass-topped doors seen on the Ashley "Drake" Home Office Armoire, for an equally stunning look.
There are many styles of computer armoire from which to choose at Coleman Furniture, and you are sure to find one to fit your tastes and lifestyle.

I love to read, but all of my books are in boxes. I need help before my books take over the whole house! - Drowning in Dictionaries in Dallas
Dear Drowning in Dictionaries in Dallas,
Coleman Furniture has a wide array of book shelves to help you out of your predicament. It sounds like you will need a lot of storage space, so you might want to look at some of Coleman Furniture's larger book shelves such as the contemporary Modloft "Barclay" Bookcase. This airy, back-less design has glass shelves, but do not think that this is another example of the many weak book shelves that cannot hold much. The solid hardwood tiers are reinforced with steel for stability and strength. It is a truly stunning modern accent that is completely different from other book shelves more commonly seen.
If you prefer more traditional book shelves, Coleman Furniture has several of those as well. For a functional set of book shelves, the Coaster "800231" Bookcase is a good choice. It has a set of sliding doors behind which to hide your treasured tomes. Another function of book shelves is to use every inch of available space, including that difficult area underneath a stairwell. For this space, a set of cube book shelves is the answer. The Coaster "800251" Bookcase is one such set offered by Coleman Furniture.
For your perfect book shelves, look no further than Coleman Furniture.
Do you have any sleeper sofas that are not futons? I don't want to make my guests feel like they are in a college dorm. - Harried Host in Houston
Dear Harried Host in Houston,
Coleman Furniture has plenty of non-futon sleeper sofas. What is great about these styles is that they do not resemble anything like the cheap furniture found in dorm rooms, but the surprising part is that the prices for these sleeper sofas could make you look twice. Coleman Furniture's low price guarantee ensures that you will pay the lowest price for your sleeper sofa, and if you find it cheaper anywhere else, we will beat their charge by 5%.
To really wow your guests, how about offering them a queen sized bed hidden in a leather sleeper sofa such as the Ashley "Roslyn Heights" Queen Sleeper Sofa. As with all of the furniture in the Ashley Roslyn Heights collection, this sleeper sofa is crafted with protected leather, to prevent staining, but regular care and maintainance, as with any leather sleeper sofas, should be taken.
Some people simply do not care for leather and they prefer the ease of fabric. Coleman Furniture has upholstered sleeper sofas as well as leather ones. If you have enough room for a sectional, the Ashley "Durapella – Galaxy" Sectional is a stunning choice. The specially-made Durapella fabric is stain-resistant while still being soft and comforting. Another upholstered sofa that rivals the luxury of leather is the Ashley "Explorer – Chianti" Queen Sofa Sleeper. To accompany this sleeper sofa, you could also get the matching chair, loveseat, and ottoman for a complete look in your living room.
Do not think that you have to make your guests sleep on a futon, not with all of the amazing sleeper sofas available at Coleman Furniture.

I want a sectional sofa, but I don't have a lot of room. Do you have anything that could fit into an apartment? Little Living Room in Little Rock, AR
Dear Little Living Room in Little Rock, AR,
A sectional sofa is a good, economical way to take care of all your furniture needs for your living room, but many of them do take up a lot of room. At Coleman Furniture, you can find sectional sofas that are specially designed for smaller spaces. The size of the sectional sofas at Coleman Furniture is not the only thing that is small. The prices are, too. You will pay the guaranteed low price for any sectional sofa that you buy at Coleman Furniture.
When you are shopping for a sectional sofa, keep in mind that it will replace a sofa, recliner, and often an end table and sometimes a love seat as well. By having all of these furnishings in one piece, actually saves space as opposed to taking up excess room. There are, however, sectional sofas that are created to fit into the smallest of living rooms. One of these is the microfiber-covered Homelegance "Cooper" Sectional Sofa. Like the rest of Homelegance's Cooper collection, this sectional sofa has a compact style, perfect for your "little living room in Little Rock".
Another sectional sofa option you might want to consider would be home theater seating such as the leather Coaster "Paramount" Home Theater Seating or the microfiber Coaster "Matinée" Home Theater Seating. These offer three recliners with center consoles that house drink holders, just like in a movie theater. With home theater seating, however, you will not have to stand up every time someone down the aisle has to get up to refill their popcorn.
Whether it is a sectional sofa or home theater seating, make sure that Coleman Furniture is your stop for guaranteed low prices.

I just got a new recliner, but my 150 pound St.Bernard has taken it over and will not let me sit in it. So I guess that I have to get another one. Hel
Dear Ditched by Dog in Des Moines,
You're the master, why are you letting your dog control you? If he lays down in your recliner, try to lure him away. You mentioned that he his a 150 pound St. Bernard, so it would be difficult to pick him up and move him physically out of your recliner. Fortunately, Coleman Furniture has a variety of recliners available for guaranteed low prices so getting a second recliner will not put a huge dent in your wallet. You will still have enough money left over for dog food.
If you like a leather, try the Ashley "Contour – Burgandy" Recliner for that plush, rich look of an elegant leather recliner in your living room. For a recliner with a rocking option, take a look at the Palosanto "4776" Rocker Recliner. If your St. Bernard insists on sitting next to you in your recliner, get the Coaster "Promenade – Black" Home Theater Seating Love Seat. Both sections of this cushy, leather love seat recline, and there is a center console with two cup holders and enough room for snacks and dog treats.
Buying a second recliner does not have to break the bank. In fact, you probably could have saved money by getting two recliners from Coleman Furniture in the first place.
What the heck is an ottoman? Obvious Questioner in Omaha
Dear Obvious Questioner in Omaha,
There is nothing wrong with your question. In fact, there are a lot of terms about furniture that are often confusing to consumers. What can make it worse is that sometimes items like ottomans are also known by other names and may only be called by that in some parts of the United States.
Ottoman is an odd name for a simple piece of furniture. Many people simply call them footstools. It's history is just as strange. The ottoman is named for the Ottoman Empire that ruled what is now Turkey up until World War I. The name actually comes from a fad that was sweeping western Europe in the late 1700s and early 1800s. That fad was for anything Asian or Middle Eastern inspired to be fashionable, and that often led to non-Middle Eastern things to be made to seem like they are. The French had many footstools with their other luxurious furniture in their homes. They began referring to these as ottomans because to use a footstool, one had to lean back in a chair. It was thought that reclining was a favored sitting position of the Ottoman Turks, and so the footstools were renamed after them as ottomans.
Two good examples of ottomans are the Homelegance "Arts and Crafts" Ottoman and the Coaster "500903" Ottoman. There are also many more ottomans to be seen at Coleman Furniture. Take a look to clarify in your mind what exactly an ottoman is.
I want some leather furniture, especially a sofa, in my living room, but isn't it all really expensive? Cheap in Charleston
Dear Cheap in Charleston,
Yes, leather sofas can be expensive, but it all depends on where you shop. If you just walk into any furniture store and are bombarded by commissioned salespeople in the showroom, you will likely spend too much for your new leather sofa. On the other hand, if you use your brain, and your computer, you can find great deals on leather sofas at Coleman Furniture. In fact, if you get your new leather sofa at Coleman Furniture, you will be assured that you are paying the lowest price, thanks to our low price guarantee. Should you find a lower price for the same leather sofa, including shipping and delivery, anywhere else, Coleman Furniture will not only meet it but beat it by 5%.
How can Coleman Furniture offer such low prices on leather sofas, while they are so expensive elsewhere? There is much less overhead at Coleman Furniture because we are on the Internet. As a result, you will not be paying the costs of being shown leather sofas in a luxurious showroom by paid salespeople. Part of the high price of leather sofas at other furniture stores goes to cover the cost of those salespeople and showrooms. If you cut those out, like Coleman Furniture has, you will cut the price on your new leather sofa.
Check out the selection of leather sofas at Coleman Furniture. You can even three piece leather sofa sets to outfit your entire living room, and all this is available without the worry of spending too much money.
