I love free shipping. Especially
when it concerns furniture. So imagine my glee at finding a company that ships
for free, most of its merchandise, stuff that’s also really cute.
I just turned my mom on to a site
that does this exact thing. It is great news for Mom that she now knows about
overstock.com. It is less good news for my dad as I see redecorating – lots of
redecorating – in their future.
I recently helped my mom purchase
a coffee table from overstock.com. It turned out great! Just like the fantastic
metal stools I got from this outfit last year.
It’s a little nerve wracking to
buy furniture, sight unseen, from a website. Especially a coffee table where
the quality of wood could be sketchy. Happy to say Mom’s coffee table is
decidedly non-sketchy and pretty fab.
It looks Restoration Hardware-y,
but she got it for a song. Which means grandkids and dogs and life can happen
to it without my mom breaking a sweat. Not that Mom sweats. Like me, she
glistens.
Restoration Hardware stuff is
beautiful, but every time I’m in that place I feel like I’m in a reverent
museum. If I got a Restoration Hardware coffee table the only thing I’d be
putting near it would be holy relics, not juice boxes and dog bones.
If this sounds like your approach
to life and furniture and shipping costs, click on over to overstock the next
time the dog can’t find the bone and chews on the furniture instead. (Click this link to check out overstock.com.)
