My teenage son wants an edgy, modern bed, but all he has room for is a twin. What do you have? - Teen Talking Twin Beds in Texas
You should take a look at our contemporary twin beds. These bring a modern flair to any bedroom. In fact by opting for a contemporary twin bed, you will be able to change the look of any room quickly from traditional to modern. The bed is the centerpiece of any bedroom, and what you choose to be the style of your sleeping surface will determine how your room will look overall. This is especially important in small spaces such as efficiencies or teenage bedrooms where there might not be enough room for other large pieces of furniture.
Contemporary twin beds are a better option for those seeking to furnish tiny rooms. Modern styles are often more space efficient than other styles. Traditional sleigh or canopy beds are often very large and while ideal for a master bedroom, these types of beds, even in the smaller twin size, would still overwhelm a little teenager's room.
Do you have modern style beds? I need a queen sized one for my bedroom. - Questioning About Queens in Queens, NY
There are many possibilities when you are looking for a contemporary queen bed for your home. You will find that their sizes are not the same as you look at the different brands. That is only for the bed frame itself. All contemporary queen sized beds will take standardized queen sized mattresses so you do not have to worry about the mattresses not fitting. The sizes for queen contemporary beds average between 62”-67” wide by 82”-86” long and 53”-65” high. The height is that of the tallest part of the headboard, so do not think that you will have to climb a ladder to get into bed.
You should take the exact size into account when you are selecting your contemporary queen bed. It should be able to fit into your bedroom with at least eighteen inches of space on all side in order to let you get in and out of bed and walk through the room. The more room that you have around your bed, the better since it will help to keep your bedroom from looking cluttered and prevent tripping over furniture in the middle of the night.

Besides seating, what kinds of living room furniture do you have? - Looking for Living Rooms in Las Vegas (Part 3)
After you have gotten the coffee tables and bombe chest for your living room, you will still need a surface on which to prop your feet. How many times did your mother tell you to, “Take your feet off the table.”? In order to keep from marring the surface of your coffee table, you need to get an ottoman for the comfort of your feet.
You might not be aware that many people call ottomans “footstools” which is exactly what they are, but there is a difference between putting your feet up on an ottoman and and ordinary footstool. Footstools are often wooden and unpadded. This makes them practical and cheap but not very comfortable. When you've been on your feet all day long, you want a cushioned surface on which to prop them. This is where having a plush upholstered or leather ottoman could come in handy. Your feet will thank you for it.

Besides seating, what kinds of living room furniture do you have? - Looking for Living Rooms in Las Vegas (Part 2)
Not only should you get a coffee table – or several, but you should also consider the much neglected bombe chest for your living room. Most people simply put these into the corner of their den or in the front hall by a door. In these places, the bombe chests are rarely seen or appreciated for the beautiful pieces of art they are. People often do not get these chests, or hide them away in corners, because they are unsure of what to do with them. The many drawers offer a myriad of storage capabilities from gloves and letters, to books or DVDs which need to be returned to the library or video store. Anything that you want to secret away in your living room but still need close at hand can be kept in the drawers. They are perfect for putting back issues of magazines for reading or wayward remotes and video game controllers for consoles and televisions not in use. You will never lose the remote again if you know that it is always kept in the drawers of your bombe chest.
No longer do you have to hide these pieces of fine furnishings. You should find the best place for your chest so that you can both use it and feast your eyes on its beauty. The optimal placement for a bombe chest is where its unique ornateness can be enjoyed. This might mean having it next to your entertainment center or other focal point for your living room. Being placed next to the entertainment center makes keeping the remote inside all the easier. You can also put candles and photographs atop the chest. These will draw the eye to the part of the room where the chest sits, and your guests will be treated to the exotic appeal of your bombe chest.
Besides seating, what kinds of living room furniture do you have? - Looking for Living Rooms in Las Vegas
While the main pieces of a living room are intended for seating, such as sofas, sectionals, and recliners, there are other components of a living room to make it more comfortable. By placing other furnishings in your living room with your seating options, you will bring a cozy feeling to your home.
Once you have chosen your seating for your living room, you should begin to think about finding some coffee tables to accessorize your space. These are useful surfaces that are available in many different sizes and styles to fit anywhere in the room. Grouping several of these together gives an artistic touch to their placement. The surfaces of coffee tables are ready to hold anything you could imagine. While in most cases they are placed between the sofa and television and are used to hold drinks and snacks, you could also put books, newspapers, or photographs on them for display. If you do not have a young child or a dog who would knock it over, you could put a vase or other curio on top of the coffee table.

The best pieces are made by well-known established furniture designers that have reputations for making long-lasting home furnishings for years.

What should I look for in a bunk bed for my kids? - Baffled by Bunk Beds in Baltimore
When you are looking to purchase bunk beds, you do need to know what attributes to look for in the beds. Especially in the case of finding furniture for your children, you will want the pieces to be safe and comfortable for use. Also, the beds should be able to fit into your children's bedroom as well as your budget.
For safety sake, a bunk bed needs to have strong, secure safety rails on the top bunk. This will prevent your child from falling five feet to the floor by rolling off the top bed. You should also only allow older children who are capable of climbing the short ladder during the night to sleep on the top bunk. Since children develop at different rates, you will have to determine if your child is mature enough for ascending to and sleeping on the top of the bunk bed.
Measure out the amount of space available in your child's room to ensure that the bed will be able to fit. All of the bunk beds in our collection will have their dimensions on their respective product pages. You also need to look at how much space is in your budget for the bed. Our guaranteed low prices promise that you will not find the same bunk bed for a lower price anywhere else.

Do you have any black beds for an adult's bedroom? - In Search of a Sable Sleeping Surface in San Antonio, TX (Part 4)
Do you sleep alone? Is your bedroom small or do you lack a separate bedroom completely? In such instances, a twin sized black bed is your perfect choice. These might be the smallest beds offered, but you will still find that there is enough room for the average adult. The choice of a black twin bed is great for single room efficiencies since the black color of the bed coupled with its small size will let it blend into a corner without taking up too much room.
Even if you have ample room in your own bedroom, you could put a twin sized black bed in a guest room. Guest rooms are typically smaller than those used by the family, and black is a neutral color that is available in many styles and designs. You do not have to confine yourself to contemporary choices for your bedroom. There are many options for your choices of black twin bed besides modern looks. You will find choices ranging from city chic to country cozy. Pick your preferred pattern of design. You cannot go wrong in your choice.
Do you have any black beds for an adult's bedroom? - In Search of a Sable Sleeping Surface in San Antonio, TX (Part 3)
Most couples will need more room than a full bed, but they lack the floor space in their bedroom for a king sized bed. Such an instance would call for the choice of a queen black bed to match the rest of the décor in your black bedroom. If you and your partner are making the decision for a queen sized black bed, you should make it together. After all, both of you will be sleeping on it for one third of your day, and arguments do not lead to a good night's sleep.
By opting for a black bed for your bedroom and narrowing it down to a queen sized, half of your battle is won, but you still need to determine which design style you like best. There are many choices for black bed styles which range from contemporary to traditional. Most black furniture is in a modern style, but there are still classic designs to be found. Make sure that both you and your partner agree upon the style of your furniture before you arrange to have it delivered. You should also measure out the amount of space you have so that your new black queen sized bed will fit. If queen beds are too large, or if you sleep alone, take a look at either a full bed or a twin sized black bed.
Do you have any black beds for an adult's bedroom? - In Search of a Sable Sleeping Surface in San Antonio, TX (Part 2)
One of the most important things to ask when trying to decide on what size bed you want for your black bedroom, is how much sleeping room do you need? If you have a partner, you will want to consult with him or her as to your choice of bed since they will be using half of it, but for couples, your best options will be either a queen black bed or a black king sized bed. These are the two most popular sizes for couples.
If only the largest and most luxurious will do, whether you sleep with someone or not, then you should opt for a king black bed. These are the largest of bed sizes, and they will give you and your partner plenty of room to toss and turn during the night without disturbing each other.
Before you choose which bed is right for your black bedroom, you need to take a look at the size of your room and the style. A black king bed might not fit into the dimensions of your room without making the space seem cluttered. There are several design styles from which to choose for your beds, no matter what size, and you and your partner should agree upon the style as well as the size.
There are still other bed options from which you could take your pick. These include black queen beds and twin black beds. If you do not have enough space for a black king sized bed, then you should look at these smaller options.
Do you have any black beds for an adult's bedroom? - In Search of a Sable Sleeping Surface in San Antonio, TX
The short answer to your question is, yes, we do have black beds for an adult's bedroom, but before you jump right in and pick a bed, you will need to be sure that it will fit into your bedroom, your budget, and your lifestyle.
You spend one third of your life in bed. That is why your choice of a sleeping surface is very important. The size of the bed will go a long way toward your comfort. If you sleep alone, your best option will be either a black full sized bed or twin bed. Ideally, you should get the smallest bed possible if your bedroom is especially tiny. This will maximize the amount of floor space in your bedroom, and prevent you from tripping over furniture in the middle of the night, as can often occur in a cluttered bedroom. The difference is that full sized black beds are slightly wider and longer. This allows for you to have more room than offered by the smaller twin beds. If you toss and turn a lot in your sleep, or if you find the dimensions of a twin too constraining, then a black full bed is your best option, but if find that full black beds are still too small or if you have a sleeping partner, then, you should take a look at the larger queen black beds or black king sized beds.

If you want a black mirror to match your dresser, it will have to be bought separately. This enables you to choose your favorite mirror rather than having it chosen for you. If you prefer a mirror from another bedroom suite than the one which includes your dresser of choice, then you are allowed to buy that mirror. By mixing and matching pieces, you craft an eclectic look that is all your own. There is no better way to create a bedroom that is tailored to your own tastes than to pick and choose the pieces of black bedroom furniture you like best.

Do you have anything for a small bedroom? I keep tripping over my old stuff. - Bumbling in the Bedroom in Baltimore
There are many options for small spaces, even when it comes to bedroom furniture. Before you begin to look at your options, you will want to measure the amount of room you have. Using a measuring tape, write down the size of your bedroom as well as the width and height of all of the halls, stairwells, and doors leading there. This will ensure that you will be able to get your new bed and accessories in the house. Most furniture will require some assembly upon delivery; be sure to ask about the delivery dimensions before you order. The delivery company will not only bring your bedroom furniture inside your bedroom, but premium options also dictate that they must set it up and dispose of the trash as well. Ask them if they will take away your old furniture when they leave. This is often included in many delivery policies.
Rather than choosing a full seven piece set of bedroom furniture, you might want to pick and choose individual pieces. The best choice for a small room for a couple is to opt for a queen sized bed rather than a king. This bed is just slightly smaller, and even if you have a sleeping partner, you will both find that a queen sized bed will provide enough sleeping surface for your comfort. If you are single, go with a full or twin bed to allow for more floor space.

What makes accent chairs so great? - Accent Asker in Arkansas
There are many reasons that accent chairs make a perfect addition to your home. These allow you to have additional seating in your living room, but due to the nature of accent chairs, they do not have to be from the same design line as the rest of your furniture.

The purpose of an accent chair is to add a flair to any room. These are also great ways to show some of your own personality in your room design.

Country furniture can be thought of as more delicate looking than the substantial Mission.
What is the difference between Mission and country living room furniture? - Confused on Country Styles in Cleveland
There are many different styles of living room furniture. You will see Mission and country in addition to more modern, contemporary designs. There are distinct differences which set apart all of these design styles. Once you know what makes each of these unique, you will be better able to select which will be the best for your home.
Mission style furniture was created during the Arts and Crafts period in the last part of the 19th century. If you appreciate simplicity and clean lines, but you do not like the modern look of contemporary pieces, then Mission is a good choice for you. It is classified by its use of heavy oaken pieces, that are reminiscent of the large oak beams seen in Spanish colonial missions in the American southwest. These designs emerged to rival the gaudiness seen in traditional Victorian style furniture, which was often cluttered into rooms, leaving little space for proper movement. Mission living room furniture allows you to have an open, yet traditional look in your home. In the next blog entry, we will discuss how country furniture styles differ.

If you cannot decide if you need a decorative accent or a storage unit, then getting a bombe chest is the perfect compromise between the two. You will love the exotic flair these add to your living room. In fact, one of the best parts of these chests is that there are so many varied designs and styles that you are sure to find one to fit in perfectly with the rest of the décor in your living room, no matter what design style you have.
The uses for bombe chests are only limited by your imagination. Many people have them in their entry halls and use them for storage of items needed just before leaving the house. When used in this manner, you could keep keys, library books, and letters that need to be mailed off in the drawers. That way they are close at hand by the door, so that you can grab what you need and go, rather than searching all over the house to find that library book or movie rental that you need to return. You could also leave the drawers empty and enjoy the beauty of your bombe chest as a piece of accent furniture for your living room.

What is the difference between kids' desks and other desks? - Desk Diva in Detroit
There is a difference between our kids' desks and our computer desks. The most obviously is the size. Our kids' desks are created just for smaller bodies. A child will not use his desk if it is too large or he feels uncomfortable while sitting at it. That is why you should not automatically get your child an adult sized computer desk thinking that your little one will grow into it. He will eventually grow enough to use the larger desk, but where will he do his homework in the mean time?
Kids' desks not only are built for the smallest of users, but they are also designed to fit in a child's bedroom which typically have the smallest dimensions of all the bedrooms in the house. By being just the right size for both your child's body and his room, kids' desks are the best choice for your children.

I just got accepted into college out of state. Do you have anything I can put in the dorm? How will I get it to school? - College Co-ed in Cleveland
Congratulations! Getting into college is a great feat, and you will soon find out that furnishing your dorm room is too. Most dorms have very tiny rooms which you must share with your room mate. If at all possible, you will want to visit the school and talk to your future room mate before school starts. This way the two of you can agree on the overall style you will want for your dorm room. You can even wait until you arrive at school for the fall semester and discuss it then. Most dorms are already furnished with bunk beds and a desk, but you will still need other pieces of furniture to complete the look.
While bean bag chairs and plastic patio chairs will suffice for some, you might want to take a look at other seating options designed to fit into your cramped space. A good option would be for you to look through our Modloft collection. This brand has designs that are specially adapted to give you the most furniture in the tiniest of rooms. Modloft's contemporary furniture appeals to many tastes, not just those who like a modern look. You and your roommate will be able to find sofas and the ubiquitous dorm room futon. There are also stylish loungers in the Modloft line which you and your roommate will fight over for seating.
I want to get a pool table, but I don't have enough room for a full sized 8 foot table. Do you have anything smaller? - Pool Shark in Portland (Part 2
We have discussed ping pong tables and dart boards, but we also have other game tables which you might find room for in your game room.
You might have seen them in sports bars, but have you ever considered bringing a foosball table into your home? The longest of these tables are 56” and they average 29” in width. Unlike ping pong tables, where you need two additional feet on either end, a foosball table needs at least 18” on either side so that you will be able to control the pegs. This means that you should have a space of about 6' by 6' for a foosball table.
One of the most fun table games available is one which is often neglected by many who are looking for game room furniture. These are air hockey tables. While many of these are 8 feet in length, we also have smaller models for which you might have enough space. Our smallest air hockey table is just five feet in length. This size is especially good for children who might not be able to get the puck across an eight foot long table.
All of our game room furniture has a satisfaction guarantee, so that if you do not like it, or find that it does not fit, just return it for a refund, minus a nominal restocking fee. We want you to have the best game room possible, no matter how much room you have.
I want to get a pool table, but I don't have enough room for a full sized 8 foot table. Do you have anything smaller? - Pool Shark in Portland
Unfortunately, we only sell full-sized eight foot pool tables, but in addition to those, we also have a large selection of other fine quality game room furniture for which anyone can find room in their home, no matter how small the available space.
You might want to consider one of our indoor-outdoor ping pong tables. These average 63” in length and 56” wide. You do need to keep in mind that you will want to have at least two feet of available space at either end in order to allow for game play. This means you should plan on nine spare feet of length. If you have a garage or patio, these ping pong tables could be kept out there since many of our models are weather resistant. While your game room might not have the room for these, you could still have one in (or rather just outside of) your home.
Another option if you are really cramped for space would be to select one of our dart boards. You only need wall space and the length of a room from which to throw the darts. Do not forget that to allow for you to have the best selection of equipment, we sell our darts separately from our dart boards.
We will continue with other options for a small game room next time.
