New Furniture!

I recently went to American Furniture Warehouse to take a look at some new furniture. I have had the same dining table and couches since I moved into this house, which was back in 2005.   

First, I wanted a new dining table.  My old dining table was a small round glass table I bought from Ikea.

Old Glass Dining Table

While this table was fine for 1-2 people to eat a meal on, I wanted something bigger and better for playing board games on with 3-4 people.

While I was at the furniture store looking at tables, I figured it was also time to replace the sofa and loveseat that I had gotten from Macy's back in the day.  They had become pretty worn out from 20 years of sitting in them.  In fact, a lot of the cushioning had broken away and you could even feel the block pieces inside when you sat on them.  I also had a hand-me-down blue couch that my sister gave to me when I first moved into my house.  I never sat on the couch and to be honest, it was more for my pets than for me.

Old Sofas and Couch

I ended up getting a rectangle marble-top table and a new 3-piece sofa, loveseat, and chair set!  All the seats have power reclining too.  In total it was $2,700 including taxes and delivery.

The dining set has some chairs that match it, but they were out of stock until February, so I'll have to go back once they're available.  That will run me an additional $240 for four chairs.  For now, the old chairs with the glass dining set are still shown in the above picture.

Crazy that the previous furniture lasted me 20 years before I changed it.  That's pretty good value if you ask me!  Happy Holidays!
