As I mentioned, Aaron and I stopped at Just Cabinets on Wednesday night during our mattress shopping outing. I figured it would be a short stop... I mean, the place is called Just Cabinets.
Okay, so it's really Just Cabinets: furniture & more - but I was figuring that it's mainly cabinets with just a bit of other stuff strewn about. I was wrong. I admit it. (Aaron, take note - I admitted I was wrong; it does happen!)
When we first walked in, we noticed plenty of mattress sets. We started lying on them all, without any nagging salespeople. We found three options that we liked a lot; two of those were $699 for the set and one was $799. We didn't really like the $799 one any more than the $699 sets, so we are (tentatively) deciding between those two sets. (On an aside, I'm now thinking that we should check to make sure those prices were not part of a sale that will be ending shortly...)
However, the surprise here was that we saw a familiar looking sectional near those mattresses. We went over to check it out and found out it was a Klaussner sectional. It was actually the Drew sectional which we liked in N.B. Liebman; however, at Just Cabinets, it was only $999! This sectional is a long couch with a long chaise attached. We spent some time trying to find a fabric swatch for the Cappuccino micro-suede that we liked. The salesman had come over to check in with us at one point, just letting us know that he was available for questions and that we should feel free to test everything out as much as we wanted. (That's how salespeople should be!!) Anyway, he was able to look up the fabric and said it shouldn't be an issue. So here is what the new sectional will look like (imagine some pillows in the bird fabric):
So now we are very much thinking we will get the sectional at Just Cabinets in the right fabric! It will save us about $1,000 if we just get the sectional and the accent chair (although we aren't sure if we'll be able to get the chair at Just Cabinets or if we'll have to get that at Sofa Selections). In terms of chairs, we checked out all the accent chairs on the Klaussner website and are between the K390 (Tanner chair) and the K1500 (Occasional chair); both of them come in the bird fabric we like. We aren't sure if Just Cabinets or Sofa Selections carries either chair, but I have a feeling that both could order it in... So here are the two options (K390 is on the left and K1500 is on the right):
However, the Drew sectional tends to be shown with an ottoman - if we get the ottoman too, it will still be an $800 savings. But, the ottoman could serve as a coffee table (with the addition of a serving tray) which would allow us to skip buying a console table. That said, we did find this awesome console table at Just Cabinets and I'm totally in love with it (even though it's $400):
Of course, after we got home, I had to plug everything into Urban Barn's room planning webapp "The Make Room" - check it out here.
Finally, as we were about to make our way out the door, I realized that Just Cabinets had a huge display of rug samples! And we need some rugs! How convenient! Now, I'm not sure what the prices are for the rugs, but there were lots of options and the salesman told us there are more than are available on display. I checked online and found out that they carry Surya brand which appears to have upwards of 2,000 rugs. Oh boy... I guess it'll depend on the prices whether it matters that they have tons of rugs and the prices online seem a bit high, but I'll wait to reserve judgment for when we are in the store and actually looking to make our purchases! Speaking of which, the salesman told us that next week a sale is starting where any custom fabrics will cost the same as the in-stock fabric! Yippee... We'll be back next week, Just Cabinets, we'll be back (spoken as if we are The Terminator)!
