Whelp Roxanne and I finally did our 1st big ticket purchase together.. It was definately one of those 'right time, right place' deals.. We roamed off to the Crate and Barrel Outlet store in Berkeley and looked around for a bit. In the back of the store is the 'defective furniture' section. So we head back there just to look and we saw this Sofa, Chair and Ottoman. Most other sofas n what not had 'scratch on leg, marked fabric, whatever' this whole set didn't have anything. We looked up n down n around and there wasn't anything major about them. The best part was it was all marked 65-70% less than MSRP.. which is quite a bit of monies before markdown. We sat on it, thought about it. Tried to see if we could delay on it. But the furniture pieces were put out on display the day before. We asked what was wrong and the answer was that it was a discontinued line and nobody wanted it. Yea i wouldn't go for it at full price either! But these pieces are beautiful, classic style fabric pieces made out of real wood and with cushions filled with goose down. I never knew.. goose down eh?
So we took it. I was trying to go for the 'if we come back and it's still here, it's our destiny' kinda deal, but then i realized the furniture would be bought by someone like me. Looking for what i always look for.. Cheap n Good..
Now our living room is gonna look sweeeet..
We tried to fit the Chair into Delilah for some of that 'da da da' action but it didn't fit. =( so instead i got the ottoman back, and the outlet store is gonna hold onto it for a week.. Afterwards Bert's lending me a hand with the storage of this stuff. till the end of the month.
It's all about the right place, at the right time..
