• How should I go about getting furniture for a move to New York? Nice and cheap furniture stores in NY?

    I’m moving to New York in October and trying to figure out the best and cheapest way for me to get new furniture. I live in Tennessee, and there are a lot of nice and large-chain furniture stores down here that I can get good deals with. However, transporting and moving furniture might be a problem and getting it delivered up there is not an option. Are there a lot of nice and cheap furniture stores in New York or in surrounding areas?

  • Commerical furniture delivery – How do you send coffee tables by freight?

    I am in the process of setting up a small furniture making business and I need to know how do you go about sending coffee tables etc that are not flat- packed. I would imagine that you would bubble-wrap the items and then get a freight company like Fedex to pick them up. Is it that easy? Should I consider putting these type of items in crates. The coffee tables I have made would be sent out lndividually to customers. They are not overly expensive and really not that large. But would Fedex etc accept this type of furniture without being crated.

    If it is OK to send just by bubble-wrapping, what is the best way to do this to ensure the items does not get damaged?
    I would also be sending out the coffee tables etc to international customers.

  • How do i pack my furniture during long absence?

    Hi, we are buying a new set of sofa (Leather), a new dining table (glass top with steel/aluminium bottom) and a cot (wooden). We would be using it for 2 months. Later we would be going to a different place for 4 to 5 years before we get back here again and use this furniture. During this long absence we are planning to pack all the furniture and lock it up in a room till we get back (after 4 to 5 years). Please let me know how I can pack these pieces of furniture and with what material should I pack such that once we get back the furniture is still in good shape as it would be today. Your ideas and suggestions would be of great help to me.

    Regards

  • What color furniture would look best in a white apartment?

    I’m moving into a new apartment in a couple of weeks, and I’m going to go buy a bunch of new furniture. But I’m not too sure as to what color furniture (sofa, tables, dinette, etc.) I should get. What will go good with an apartment with walls that are white, and carpet that is sort of a “dirty” white, but white nonetheless.

    Right now I’m thinking the obvious black but what do you think?

  • What is the best furniture fabric and color for pet hair?

    What is the best furniture fabric and color for pet hair?

    I have an Australian shepherd and two cats. I want to get microfiber furniture (the cats are not declawed). I want to know is this the most durable fabric for my money? Also, what color should I pick so pet hair won’t really be too noticeable? I can’t really prevent the animals from getting on the couches because they sleep on it at night and during the day when I am at work. So:
    Best fabric?
    Best color?
    Cleaning suggestions?

    Also, I do not want to put a furniture cover over the couches. Thanks.

  • What should I use to clean furniture contaminated by mold that won’t hurt particleboard and wood finishes?

    I recently moved all of my furniture that had been in a climate-controlled storage unit for 1 year into my new apartment. My couch grew mold in the storage unit, so I threw it out. The rest of my furniture is primarily particleboard (bookcases, dressers, etc.) and some wood. What should I use to clean this furniture to make sure that there is no mold on it and that won’t destroy the furniture? Thank you!
