Cassandra

I am looking online for a bedroom set and it does not say anything about a Matress included.. I need to know if i need to save money for a matress too.

Answer
usually the mattress and box springs are sold seperately from the bedroom set. make sure when you purchase the mattress, you are getting the set.

i don't recommend buying a mattress online. this is a product you need to see, touch and feel before buying

How do I buy a bedroom set with matching desk and chair?

Val

All of the stores and online sources that I contacted didn't know where I could do this (bedroom sets don't usually come with matching desks and chairs). Any suggestions?

Answer
it depends on your taste.How about ikea or Ethan Allen furniture. I have a matching desk. I hope you find what you like.

How much should I sell my bedroom furniture for?

Tamee

I have a black 7 piece queen size bedroom set with two night stands, a dresser and a mirror that I purchased for $1600 about 16 months ago. I also paid $600.00 for some pillow top mattresses. Everything looks brand new. Someone offered $700. How much should I sell it for? Mattresses included.

Answer
The best answer is whatever you can get for it, I think $700 isn't a good price for it, but it's most probably close to what it's worth at most.

When you buy new, you're paying for the over heads as well. If you place an add in a free online site saying what you have is new or bought 2 weeks ago, you'd be very lucky to get 70% of that $2200 you paid for it. Reason being that buying from a store you have in general an amount of consumer protection for the most part.

What most people don't understand, is that the store bought that product or those goods for a fraction of what they sold it for, to cover their over heads. My Ex used to work for a big department store, I was surprised to find out that some items have a 500% mark up, I'm not saying there was a 500% mark up on your goods, but I'm guessing at least 100% if not more.

Where can I buy a kit to resilver a mirror?

Ripper

I was given an old bedroom set and the mirror is in "bad" shape. I can't find any kits to resilver the mirror. Does anyone know where I can find one online or a store that sells them in the worcester area?

Answer
You will need Rochelle Salts, Ammonia and Silver Nitrate, lots of distilled water and lots of elbow-grease. Cleaning is the most difficult part of the entire task.

You can make or purchase Rochelle Salts, you must purchase the Silver Nitrate and the Ammonia. Neither is a controlled substance. Silver Nitrate is not all that cheap, but you won't need much.

Otherwise, the links are below.

I have used exactly this process to re-silver some panels on an old Sparton 558 radio. With care, it works very nicely. The key, again, is cleanliness. When you are done, several coats of lacquer on top will prevent the silver from oxidizing - you should be good for 75 years or so.

Is there a big difference between coffee and espresso colored furniture?

Q. I am trying to complete a bedroom set by purchasing different parts from different sets. The headboard I bought was beautiful, but the dressers and armoires weren't. So I'm putting together my own "set". I would consider my headboard to be an espresso color and there is a dresser online that is considered "coffee" color. There are other dressers that are espresso but I L0VE this dresser. If I were to purchase it would the colors be totally off?

A. Espresso is nearly black Coffee is a very dark brown ..As far as the colors being off...yes depends on their proximity and the lighting too. PLus the colors are wildly different manufacturer to manufacturer. It could work especially if it is multitoned.. What I would do is take a photo that accurately represents the color of the headboard and email it to them but their monitors could be skewed.

I'm buying new bedroom furniture, what kind of wood should I look for?

Q. Hi, I don't know much about furniture other than saying something is cute or not, but I was told by a friend that I should stick with solid wood construction and avoid veneers, but I noticed that there are a lot of different varieties of wood used in different furniture sets. So far I've seen pine, maple, oak, alder, cherry, and mahogany. What's the best? What makes it best? What makes other wood cheap or poor quality? And is there a site online that can help to better explain why I want a better quality wood for my furniture and what in fact makes it better? I'm really hoping someone can help me out because I want to buy a nice quality bedroom set and I don't want to pay top dollar for junky furniture either. Thanks in advance.
What about this furniture? Does it seem okay? http://www.mybobs.com/catalog/set_view.asp?packageid=585&room=bedroom

A. The wood species is up to you, what do you like? If you choose a posted set, the posts should be solid wood. Any panels you choose can be veneered or solid. Veneer panels are much better than they used to be. The glues used are better and manufacturers are willing to stand behind them. Solid wood panels are beautiful but may require multiple glue joints to achieve adequate width. This can create inconsistent grain patterns. If you see something that looks good at the store, but when you get it it doesn't look so great, go back to the store and demand the display. They tend to show the best.
Hope this helps.

Where are some good places to buy female furniture for the bedroom?

Q. I know the question may seem weird but I am a female and I want something artsy and youthful that looks right for a chic woman. I dont want to search online for "girl" furniture because I know I'll just get furniture for children. I went to ikea and saw a bedroom set that was okay but more of the young college student. Walmart and Target, I'm afraid will be under quality and a lot of the other stores I checked out online seem to be old looking. I am very picky but I was wondering if anyone knew a place, maybe they know a female between 20-27 and where they got their bedroom furniture. I would even take crazy styles. Im tired of seeing the usual bedroom sets. If you know other places for furniture for other parts of the home thats fine too. Those are easier to find. Its the stupid bedroom that I'm stuck with.

I might be sleeping on the couch for awhile.

A. ive used http://www.cheapbedroomfurniture.co quite alot for furniture great site
