oh. my. dog.
By shag carpet bomb • May 24th, 2009 • Category: WGAF Filesi need to win the lottery. i’d seen this wonderful furniture last time i went to the scandinavian furniture store, but i didn’t price it. It’s made by a French company, Seltz. This table costs four-fucking-thousand-dollars!
Oh well! I love it, but not *that* much!
and, the bedroom set I wanted is no longer in production, so the only thing they have is a king bed with only one night stand. and i think we’re talking fifteen-fucking-grand! for a dresser, wardrobe, nightstands, and bed. $15000!!! It’s a teak set, from Torring, with drawer and door pulls that are made to appear as if they’ve been carved directly out of the wood.
this is the one, it’s Torring’s Classico:
And also, a correction. I found the price sheet she gave me. It would be about $8k for the bedroom set.
Torring makes another set (pic) that was also beautiful.
People! The nightstands? The had drawers that pulled out to make a writing desk, complete with pen storage. Then, another piece slid out over the mattress. Why? So you had a place to put your coffee — or, in the case of the promo literature, your champagne glasses and bowl of berries!
I asked the saleswoman, who’s from Denmark, what it was for, because I didn’t understand it at first. I’ve only ever been in a double bed, so why on earth would you need something besides the nightstand upon which to place coffee mug or wine glass. Well, if the dang thing’s big enough… then having something that pulls out and extends across the bed allows you to snuggle in the middle of the bed and still reach your book or coffee or champagne.
Whoda thunk?
Anyway, I asked her, “What’s this pull for?”
She said, “Exactly what you have it for.”
I looked back down, staring at the black veneered wooden pull out, and thought, “So, what? It’s pulled out, nearly resting on the mattress. What’s it freaking for?”
I didn’t ask for elaboration since, clearly, I didn’t get it.
Oh! also, when you close the drawers — all you have to do is tap, and they slowly close themselves because of a ball bearing design!
Fancy that!
But good lard: it would cost about $15k for just a bedroom set!
Damn it! I want to pentagon dining set with the blue glass inlay! I need to find a sugar mama or sugar daddy I suppose!
Isn’t that blue glass gorgeous? The one I really like is wood, with a 12″ diamter circle of the blue glass in the middle, the rest of the table top is wood. But it’s $4000! And only seats four!

That’s why you pass them on the kids. Someone has to keep making the payments.
ha! well, the plan was to buy it all outright. credit these days is a total joke. sonshine called yesterday, telling me about the craziness he’s going through. he’s finally learned his lesson: buy nothing with a credit card.
