Dynalo 10/02/17 12:12:24 PM #1:	I finally decided I would upgrade my bedroom furniture (that is get bedroom furniture. I currently own a double bed, no dresser, no nightstand. I just hang all my clothes in the closet.) So new bed, mattress, dresser, and two nightstands... $3500. Plus sheets and bedding at another $200. And the baffling part is most people have since told me that's a really good price. So people are clearly used to paying a lot more than that This damn furniture better outlast me... --- Assassins do it from behind. <cite>Dynalo posted [p:887667369] in Why is fur...

Smarkil 10/02/17 12:33:03 PM #11:	Seriously though, those things are gonna be a bitch to move. For mine, I just got a casper mattress and a bedframe on amazon. https://goo.gl/S1GG6N Then I bought a couple of small end table type things for cheap. Including the mattress which was like 950, I ended up spending something like 1300 total. I didn't buy any dresser though because fuck dressers.

Dynalo 10/02/17 12:36:31 PM #12:	Hopefully it won't be too bad. The bed actually comes in 4 or 5 pieces and is latched together, so that should making moving it much easier. I don't think that monstrosity would even fit in my place if it were in one piece... It'd be hell getting it down the hallway and into the bedroom anyways. --- Assassins do it from behind. <cite>Dynalo posted [p:887668683] in Why is fur...
