Dear Open to Oak in Oklahoma City, OK,

Oak dining room furniture has been used for centuries. Many people prefer it to other woods such as cherry because of the range of shades that is found in dining room oak furniture. Too many times, other woods are typically only used for one specific style. For example, much of cherry dining furniture is crafted in a more formal design. If you opt for pine, the style is almost always casual. Oak is different. Furnishings in an oak dining room can be any style: country or contemporary, casual or formal. You will be able to find all of these designs and more at guaranteed low prices.

Due to its versatility, oak dining room furniture is available in many different types of pieces as well. You can find breakfast tables that can create a brunch nook out of any kitchen corner. If you need a full, formal dining room oak table, we have those as well. There are even counter height tables for your oak dining room. No matter what you need for a dining room, you are likely to find the style and the table that you need crafted out of fine, sturdy oak. That is why it is such a good choice for your oak dining room.

Dear Trekkie in Texas,

We are not sure if the universe is shaped like a bar stool, but there is a good reason for this. It is because bar stools come in so many different shapes and sizes, that it would be hard to determine one specific shape that the universe could resemble.

Yours is the most interesting question we have seen. It led us to question if the universe is shaped like a bar stool, then what type is it? Could it have long legs that would fit at a counter or counter-height table? Or perhaps the legs are shorter for it to be used at a pub table or a breakfast table? Does the universe have a back like some of our bar stools do? Is it backless instead? What about arms? Here is an interesting thought, like many of our bar stools, does the universe swivel or is the seat fixed? What about the style? Is it in the form of a classic or contemporary bar stool?

While we cannot answer your question, perhaps if you take a look at our bar stools, you might be able to at least create many more questions and maybe some answers to your inquiry.

Dear Pub Table Ponderer in Portland, OR,

There are some differences between pub tables and dining tables. You can find selections of both of these here at Coleman Furniture where our prices are guaranteed to be the lowest that you can find.

Most dining tables have a table equipped with four or six chairs. These are the de rigor for formal dining and large gatherings, but there are times when you want something a bit more casual. Pub tables are the perfect addition to a breakfast nook, kitchen corner or a patio. Many people enjoy the fact that many of our pub tables are counter height tables. This allows for them to more easily sit at a bar stool at the table since the stool and the pub table that are counter height are not as low as other pub tables.

You can cast off the erroneous notion that pub tables are the shabby pieces of furniture that are fit only for the seediest of bars and clubs. Our pub tables are available in many elegant styles such as classic, contemporary, and country. In fact, one of the most popular uses for our pub tables are to use them on a covered terrace or a patio for a casually elegant spot for a leisurely weekend brunch or an after dinner drink. Take a look at the varieties that we offer and you are sure to find something to suit your tastes.

Dear TV Talker in TN,

A TV stand is not the same as a TV entertainment center. There are some distinct differences between the two. Whichever one you choose for your home will be determined by the type of entertainment equipment that you have. Also, you will have to gage how much floor space is available in your living room before you opt for either a TV stand or a TV entertainment center.

Some people have only a very limited amount of space in their homes. If you happen to live in a small apartment, or a house with tiny rooms, then you will probably appreciate the space-saving features of a TV stand. These units are smaller than their larger cousins. Usually, a TV stand is a shelf upon which you can put your television. Beneath it, there is room for one or two extras such as cable converter boxes, DVRs, or DVD players. For the ultimate in functionality, a TV stand is the right option.

If you have ample room, and you would like something that can better disguise your entertainment hardware, then you will likely want a TV entertainment center. These take up much more room than TV stands, but they are often crafted to resemble armoires. This way when your television is not in use, you can shut the cabinet doors and hide it away. This is also a good technique to use to get children to stop watching television and go do their homework. Since it is in a cabinet design, and many models come with side shelving, a TV entertainment center can potentially take up an entire wall of a room. Be prepared to make space if this is the option that you choose.

Dear Country Quester in Cleveland,

We have a wide variety of choices for country living rooms, but you do not have to live in a rural area to enjoy the cozy, welcoming feel of country style living room furniture. We have had people who call home a trendy loft apartment who long for the nostalgic feel offered by no other design style.

Unfortunately, there are many myths that surround country living room furnishings. Some people think of the interior of an old general store. While the solid hardwoods with little adornment or simple scroll work act as the hallmarks of living room country style furnishings, the options now also have a bit more of an updated feel. Today's country has begun to merge with contemporary ideas. This means that now, you can find country living room furniture that is crafted from more modern, easy to care for upholstery and leathers. This will mean that whatever you choose is sure to give you many years of enjoyment and beauty in your home.

Dear Durapella Dunce in Detroit,

Do not worry that you are not sure what Durapella is. It is a new material for furniture that has been developed exclusively for Ashley Furniture. Ashley Durapella is the ultimate meeting in comfort and luxury. It combines the plush look and feel of genuine suede, but it does not have the same cleaning quirks that suede does. This makes Durapella from Ashley ideal for families with children.

All of the products that use this innovative material have the simplest of cleaning requirements. Instead of having to use special chemical cleaners or brushes, all that is needed is just a quick wipe with a dampened cloth to clean off spills. Suede has long been envied for its softness, but it has been reviled for its notorious ability to be too easily stained or ripped. Many people with genuine suede furniture would cover their sofas with plastic covers to preserve the suede. Ashely Durapella makes your living room furnishings livable again. You do not have to worry any longer about using kid gloves with your Ashley Durapella furniture. Feel free to sit on your sofa again. With all of the styles and pieces that are crafted with Durapella by Ashley you will be able to fill your entire home.

Dear Mystified by Mission in Massachusetts,

Mission style dining room furniture is often crafted in sturdy hardwood. The style itself is reminiscent of the Spanish missions found in the American Southwest. Mission dining room furniture is a popular style due to its rustic sophistication. Sometimes there is a deliberate distressed look applied to the wood to make it seem antique. This technique is seen in the Homelegance "749" 7 Piece Dining Set. Do not worry about buying a mission style dining room set that seems like it has been abused. Distressing of the wood is only used as an accent, and no damage to the actual wood has occurred. It is the same as applying a stain or a veneer. Distressing of mission style dining tables only enhances their beauty and timeless appeal.

You can find many examples of fine Mission dining tables and dining room sets here. All of them share the mission qualities of a solid, simple wooden construction. Some people have even described Mission furniture as being heavy, but that is testament to the solid hardwood construction that is a hallmark of mission style dining room furniture.

Dear Environmentalist in Elk Grove, CA,

Believe it or not, one of our premier manufacturers is one of the "greenest" furniture companies in the United States. Vaughan-Bassett Furniture has been around since its founding in 1919. Since that time they have been committed to not only making high quality wooden home furnishings, but Vaughan-Bassett Furniture also has devoted itself to the environment and sustainability.

There are numerous policies this company has to lessen its impact on the environment while still acting as a boost to the local economy of rural North Carolina and Virginia, the two locations of its factories. A full 95% of Vaughan-Bassett Furniture's products are crafted at one of these two factories in the United States, and to keep emissions low from transporting the materials for their furniture, 90% of the wood that Vaughan-Bassett Furniture uses comes from within 500 miles of their factories.

Since they specialize in wooden furniture, the raw materials used can be replaced. Vaughan-Bassett Furniture has a policy of donating a seedling to the Virginia Forestry Department for every tree that it uses in the construction of its goods. In 2007 alone, they have replanted 150,000 trees in Virginia.

Vaughan-Bassett Furniture is truly a high quality furniture manufacturer from whom you can feel good about buying, and we are proud to be able to offer you a fine selection of Vaughan-Bassett Furniture's quality home furnishings.

Dear Movie Maniac in Memphis,

It sounds like you enjoy films. The best way to really have a movie theater experience at home is with a home theater seating system. Think about it. What is the best things about going to the movies? You enjoy the big screen, the anticipatory atmosphere and the comfortable chairs that often recline. Well, we can't help you with the first two, but for the third we have a great selection of home theater seating that will replicate the feeling of being in a theater and viewing your favorite movie, but in many cases the home theater seats that you can find here are more comfortable than the commercial seats. When was the last time you sat in plush leather reclining seats at a movie theater?

Why should you want just a sofa for watching a movie at home? Sofas do not recline the way that our home theater seating will. With home theater seats, it is like having two, three or four of the plushest recliners that you can imagine. These are designed to make sitting for hours on end an enjoyable, rather than painful task. Take a look at our options for home theater seating. We are sure that you will like what you see, and unlike a movie theater you will not have to pay ten dollars admission, either.

Dear Children's Cottage Conundrum Concerned in Cleavland, OH,

Children's cottage furniture is a line of fine suites to be put into children's bedrooms. The designs are very close to a country style décor that is often used to describe furnishings for other rooms of the house. Cottage children's furniture has a quaint and homey feel to it that is often missing in more contemporary pieces. It has a look that will grow with the child, so that in many cases, you will see cottage children's furnishings in rooms for four year old children as well in many teenagers' bedrooms. There is a childish sophistication and timelessness that enables children's cottage pieces to do this where very few other styles or designs can.

Dear Accent Asker in Atlanta,

Decorative accents are simply those little extras that make a house a home. Many things fall under the banner of decorative accents. You can find accent chairs, area rugs, wall art, and mirrors in this category. All of these bits add a touch of your personality to any room.

Think about an end table with nothing on it. It just sits in the corner of the room, and is often neglected, but by placing a decorative accent on its surface you can draw attention both to the accent and to the end table. A good choice for a table is to use a table lamp. These decorative accents are not only beautiful pieces of furniture, but they are also useful luminaries. Table lamps are not the only things that can be put on table surfaces, though. Another way to bring attention to an area of your room is to hang a mirror or piece of wall art over it. Just like other accents for decoration, these are eye-catching and add a splash of color and your personal style to any area of a room.

The best way to use decorative accents is to experiment with several different kinds. There are no rules other than to get and use what you like. Knowing that, you cannot go wrong in choosing and using decorative accents.

Dear Inquiring Into Illumination in IL,

There is a difference between table lamps and floor lamps, besides the obvious that table lamps are shorter and sit on tables while floor lamps are placed – you guessed it, on the floor. You can find a great variety of table lamps here. But once you have a table top lamp, knowing the some insider tips from the home decorating and experts can help you to use it to the best advantage for your space.

Table lamps not only light up a room, but they also help to create mood. The quickest way to change the mood of a room is by changing the brightness of the light bulbs that are in your table top lamps. If you want the room to appear smaller and cozier use a lower wattage incandescent bulb. For a little romance, try colored light bulbs in all of your table lamps. Pink is often used for its tone setting for those looking for love.

Besides changing a room's mood table lamps are also practical pieces of illumination, but by knowing how to direct their light by the placement of the table top lamp itself and how to direct its shade will enable you to have to use fewer lights in the room, and thus, you can save money on your electric bill. Table lamps are best set on a table top behind a chair or recliner. You should adjust the shade so that the light falls over your shoulder if you are sitting in the recliner. The table lamp shade will also help to prevent glare on the television screen.

These are just a few tips for table lamps, but the best way to use them is to get a few yourself and begin your experiments with lighting by changing the bulbs in the table lamps and the angles or even the shades themselves. Happy decorating!

Dear Wordsmith in WI,

Your question is a valid one, but it may not be the of the type that we answer best. According to The Columbia Guide to Standard American English vase is pronounced VAIS in the United States and VAHZ in Great Britain and other English-speaking nations. Some people in America joke that if a vase costs less than five hundred dollars then it is said VAIS, and if it is over that price it is pronounced VAHZ. This thinking is along the same lines that anyone with a British accent is automatically smarter., but a vase by any other name is just as lovely.

Here is something that not everyone knows though: you can get great vases for less money than you think. You can find here decorative accents that should be called VAHZes but at VAIS prices. That is because all of our products, including our vases, have a low price guarantee. So that you can get the best in home furnishings without having to spend an arm and a leg. Take a look at the selection of vases and other accent furniture available at Coleman Furniture.

Dear Carping on Carpeting in Chicago,

Many people already have wall-to-wall carpeting in their homes and they cannot fathom the use for area rugs. They believe that only rich people with hardwood floors can afford the lavish Oriental rugs that they picture when they think of area rugs. There are several myths in this that need busting, and we at Coleman Furniture want to set the record straight.

First of all, area rugs are not just floor coverings. True, that is their intended purpose, but they can be used for much more. Area rugs should be thought of as accent furniture, instead. This opens up a world of possible uses for them. Even if you do have wall-to-wall carpeting, you can still use area rugs to create groupings in a large room. For example, you could have have a leather sofa and a recliner facing each other with a coffee table between them. Putting all of these on top of one area rug sets the tone that this is a conversation nook. This technique can be used in every room of the house. They can also be hung on a wall in the same fashion as tapestries.

Do not think that just because there are so many uses for area rugs that they have to be expensive. You simply have to know where to shop. All of our area rugs here are made available to you for a low-price guarantee. This means that should you find a lower price anywhere else, we will beat it by five percent.

So now you know that area rugs do not have to be pricey and that their uses go far beyond floor coverings, why not make a selection of them for your home?

Dear Looking for a Looking Glass in Las Vegas,

Yes, we have a wide selection of mirrors available for all of your home furnishing needs. In fact, our mirrors are just a part of our entire accent furniture collection that adds just the right personal touch to any room décor.

The beauty of mirrors is that they can do so much besides just helping you to put on your make up. Many people take them for granted since they seem to be so ubiquitous. Everywhere you go, you can find a mirror: the inside of every washroom from New York to Los Angeles, the back of the sun visor in your car, and in fitting rooms. While mirrors can be reflective tools that are useful when parallel parking your car, they also have many uses in the home.

The magic of mirrors is that they reflect images because they reflect light. The top designers quickly realized this and now they harness this power for use in room planning. By carefully placing a mirror across from a window or light source, the room will suddenly look brighter and lighter. A large mirror against a wall will nearly double the size of the room since you will be seeing everything in the room twice.

Take your pick from our selection of large, small and medium sized mirrors and experiment with them in your home decorating. Soon, your house will look like it had a professional makeover.

Yes, we have lots of furniture for black bedrooms here, and in several of the most renowned brand names such as Ashley, Largo, and Homelegance. Black bedroom furniture is a popular option for many homes. The appeal is often the striking design difference between the dark furnishings and lighter colored walls, although, from your note, it sounds like you are looking for your black bedroom furniture to blend in with dark walls instead of contrast. This is a fine route to take, and the matching color scheme will make your bedroom feel cozy and intimate.

Most black bedrooms are in a contemporary bedroom style such as the Coaster "5631" 7 Piece Bedroom Furniture Set. It has a dark brown to black finish and is highlighted by silver toned hardware. Not all black bedrooms are contemporary, though. We also have more classically designed sets such as the Homelegance "Notting Hill" 7 Piece Bedroom Set. This country-style set is emphasized by night-hued wood grain. Making it an excellent addition to any home.

There are dozens of black furniture bedroom sets that you can find here. Take some time to browse our collection, but do not think that you have to buy an entire complete set. You can mix and match pieces from different black bedroom furniture sets to craft your own style, so you can still march to the beat of your own drummer.

Dear Going for the Gold in San Diego, CA,

Last time pool tables were the topic of concern, but with your new pool table you will need accessories for a pool table in order to get the best play out of it.

It depends upon your level of play which set of pool table accessories that you get. We have many sets from which to choose. If you are just learning to play the game, you might want to start out with a simple set. For you, we have the Basic Pool Table Accessory Kit. It has everything that you need to get started playing pool as a hobby: two cues, a 15 ball and a 9 ball rack, 16 balls, a bridge, pool table brush,pool table cover, 12 pieces of chalk, and chalk holders. This is just the set if pool is merely a weekend hobby, but if you intend to play in tournaments or leagues against other fellow pool sharks, you need more in a pool table accessory kit. For you we have the Level Best Super Swirl Pool Table Accessory Kit. This deluxe set includes all hardwood pieces including four stained hitter two piece Irish linen wrapped maple cues.

Whatever your accessories for your pool table needs might be, you can find something here.
