    I've sent them in in two pieces cracked down the nose part and they charged me 35 bucks. Send them in for sure

    What do you want and what's your price range? There aren't going to be many online only retailers because most people want to at least see/try furniture in person before buying. So unless you're talking about boutique local stores, all the big retailers have an online presence and are as equally "gougey" as the brick and mortar stores you've been to.

    I've done the deep dive into furniture brands, quality, craftsmanship, been to the two big NC markets a few times, etc. and what's considered the Honda Accords of furniture, the Ethan Allen, Pottery Barn, Room & Board, West Elm, are still pretty fucking expensive in my book.

    There's really no online market efficiencies that have passed on savings to consumers. It's mostly Vietnamese shit marked up, or Vietnamese shit assembled in the US marked up even higher, or legit US made and stupid crazy expensive.

    Maybe take a look at custommade.com, if you find someone nearby you, you might be able to get a relatively better deal on some custom made furniture.

    He's right. Even Restoration Hardware is marked up Asian shit. Despite knowing that, I've given way too much $ to Crate & Barrel.

    If you've got the time, you can actually find some decent custom shops on Etsy that'll make good furniture that won't kill your wallet and ship nationally.

    I ran the poor kid at REI ragged for like 45 minutes fetching me various choices, but I finally settled on these as my new kicks for hiking. They feel awesome.

    Was going to wait until at least the fall until I made a new phone purchase to see what the new iPhones and Pixels would be like, but my Nexus 6P is having the early shutdown problem now so I had to go ahead and bite the bullet on the Galaxy S8. Luckily today they started a promo of a free $200 Virtual VISA Gift Card. Looks like the card can only be used for online purchases but I shop regularly on Amazon so no biggie there.

    I take solace in the fact that I locked that pen before he commandeered it. The future tsa employee is most likely too dumb to figure out how to unlock it.
