bedroom set 2 nightstands image

I want to buy a bedroom set that will last, preferably for at least a couple generations, in solid wood. I don't want Ikea or anything like that. Where do you buy your furniture? Any tips on good, discount furniture?
Answer
Ethan Allan has really good stuff, but its really expensive. Stuff made out of real wood (not pine or particle board) is fairly pricey. Wicks has some decent stuff. We priced out a nice mahogany bedroom set there with a queen sleigh bed, highboy dresser, and a pair of nightstands which came out to about $3500. I'd say stay away from Levitz. I bought a recliner from them that fell apart within 2 years. My wife fell in love with a sleigh bed from Thomasville. without the matress it was $2500. I found a guy on ebay selling the exact same bed that was 6 months old for 1500 with a nice beauty rest matress. I went for it, but had to pay a few hundred to have it shipped from NYC to Los Angeles. You might try that though, look around in the high-dollar stores, note the maker and model number then look to see who might have it on ebay or maybe an internet retailer.

Do you think one nightstand would look akward?

I'm planning on buying a new bedroom set: headboard/footboard, armoire, and I'm thinking about just one nightstand. Would that look weird, especially considering I'm not doing the usual dresser/mirror thing? What should I do to offset it; place the bed closer to the wall? Replace it with something else? I only have 2 walls to work with because there's a large window and the other is the entryway/ closet. Here's what I'm buying if it helps http://city-furniture.com/ (dark wood)
Ok woops that link doesn't take you straight there, it's actually the 2nd bedroom set once you click under "Bedrooms" on the left side.
Answer
I don't think it would look bad. I'd think of messing around with the furniture placement.
You certainly don't want to clutter the room and OVERfurniturize. Especially since you only have two walls to really work with.
Think of wall accents to draw your eye upward. If you go with only furniture to accent the room, you end up looking down most of the time. An even balance of furniture is almost as important as the rest of the decor, e.g. drapes, sconces, wall hangings.
