Steal Of A Deal Furniture: Overstock.com


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.)
