 West Elm is right beside my gym so I was thinking of going there on Saturday.  I have never been there but saw a catalog once and the stuff looked kind of up my alley.  I will check it out.
 
 ETA - thank you all for the bed suggestions.  I feel a little less clueless now.

I would be nervous about getting something like this that has the wood sticking out around the edge.  The pictured bed is like $1,500.  With beds, dining chairs (b/c they get pulled in and out and people scoot in them) and cabinet-type furniture (bookshelves, anything with drawers) I worry more about the joints being put together well.  When I was looking for furniture, I saw some at storehouse that I thought looked pretty but it was almost like it was stapled together. I got something that has those interlocking joints; there's some other way that is quite strong too.
 
Motherfucker, I just realized I loaned my "important aspects of furniture buying" book to someone who subsequently moved.  Grrrr.
 
ETA It sounds like I hate and am criticizing this bed -- actually I like it and was posting it as a suggestion or something.  I love looking at furniture. |
