Stefan and I have been shopping for our master bedroom furniture for a few weeks. We have stopped at every furniture store that we could find from Rincon to Mayaguez (Sears, Pitusa, Berrios, Rooms to Go, Seduca, etc) and have been highly unsuccessful in our mission for a nice bedroom set. The handful of times that we have found something decent, we come to find that they don’t carry what we want in king size. As a matter of fact, most furnitures stores carry so few king size bed options, that we started asking off the bat, “Just show us what you have in king size beds”. The sales guys then leads us over to the two ugliest beds in the store and tries his darnedest to sell it to us.
Today, we set off on our final mission. We went to 5 furniture stores before deciding that we would just go to Sears and get the bedroom set that we thought was “okay”, last time we were there. In a last ditch effort to avoid settling on something we didn’t really want, we went to the Pier One that is located in the Sear store, first. Low and behold, we found the PERFECT king sized headboard, dresser, night stand and bench, for our master bedroom! It’s from the Shanghai collection (which just happened to be on sale this week) and is pretty much exactly what we wanted. We also purchased a king sized Simmons Beautyrest mattress, and everything should be delivered next week.
YAY!

Hey, that is where I got my bedroom furniture and I still like it!
On your trips looking for bedroom furniture, did you see any nice chaise lounge for the bedroom? I am looking for something that is nice and comfortable for the hubby who does not sleep as much as I do, so he needs a nice sofa to lay while I sleep and he can read.
Robin - Really? I don’t think I’ve ever seen your bedroom furniture…I will come check it out next week!
Rosa - I have actually been looking for a chaise lounge for my office. I found a really nice leather one (it comes in white, red or brown) at Rooms to Go, but it’s fairly expensive:

Rooms to Go also has some other styles, but that is my favorite…With the lack of choices, I may go with a roomy chair (or loveseat) and an ottoman, but we’ll see!
Thats weirdd. When I was in the El San Juan Hotel I could have sworn it was a king sized bed in was in with two fly Puerto Rican girls….
on another note:
Thats cool you got something from the Shanghai collection. It will probably be good. I was with two fly Chinese girls in Beijing in a bed and it worked out well. Very sturdy.
