Having noticed that furniture is one of the few things still made in america, I was curious which furniture stores people frequent. Department stores, regional chains, or local shops. Vote in pole...

Let's see...

Home Office (I call it the "War Room") - Office Depot/Staples
Living Room - Local furniture store and Ikea
Dining Room - Same local store
Kitchen - Didn't buy much as the appliances were included. The big pieces in the drawers came from the Farberware Factory Store
Bedroom - Ikea
Bathroom - Uh...Bed, Bath, & Beyond, some bits and pieces from the Ralph Lauren (Factory :p) Store, and my shower curtain is from Target :)

And that's that...although a lot of the details in my place did come from Wal-Mart or the PX; stuff like blinds, my curtain, welcome mat, soap dispenser, and so forth.

I'm not sure what you want me to answer in the poll :confused:

I probably got the most number of pieces from Ikea, but I spent the greatest amount of dollars at that local furniture store.

Oh, and maybe we still see American made stuff here in the states because overseas/air shipping is so expensive on ginormous furniture
