Think about your Rear, Dear when you are looking for a chair!
There is furniture that is very cool, but if you do not like sitting on it, I have one question. WHY? My wife and I differ greatly on this subject. I do not know how many times my wife has drug me to a furniture store (one of my least favorite places to go, mind you) to see a piece of furniture that is "so cute!" Only to get there and see a nice piece of furniture that is totally useless to sit in. Then a great discussion ensues!
My take on great furniture is that is has to be three things: 1) First and foremost, It has to be comfortable or it will not be used and it will be an expensive weight to hold the carpet down. 2) It has to be sturdy. With that kind of investment it has to be around a while. There are numerous options for when "colors change" or the wife gets tired of it. 3) I am not super particular about color. I just do not want it to show "life", or be scared to use it because something could get on it.
That is pretty much it! I am not too picky. The only problem is that it knocks out of bunch of my wife's choices.
My parents just replaced a couch that they had for 30 years. It had been recovered twice
and housed a slipcover that was still in pretty good shape. It was still a good piece. It was expensive when they first purchased it. It was heavy and very sturdy. A great purchase, and it served then well. They took into account what they needed in a piece of furnature and met those needs. Now, 30 years later they are in place where that did not fit their needs. That my friends is money well spent.
There is so much personal taste in the decision of furniture. My suggestion is selecting a piece that has a classic style, and will look great 15 to 20 years from now. Will your (or your or should I say wife's) taste change in that amount of time. ABSOLUTELY, it will. Just make a choice that will last through some of those changes.
