I think it might be time for a new bedroom set. The one we have now is from two apartments before we bought the house and is frankly a little mismatched.
Today we went to a local "UNCLAIMED FREIGHT" kind of place and saw a few that we thought we could get behind.
There was this:
although we're not sure we're into the four-poster thing.
Then there was this:
but then we think that maybe the upholstered headboard thing is a little not us. This set also has the upright unit that is really an entertainment center.
And then there was this:
another with an entertainment center. The headboard for this one is sitting in the back, the detail is like the top of the mirror.
We're also partial to this set from IKEA:
the stuff we have now is from Ikea - it isn't awful. This line would be a step up in Ikea quality I think.
Finally there's this set from Costco:
We've been looking for a while now, on and off. I've seen so many sets I can't remember what I like anymore. We've been to Room Full and to Levin's and gotten their pitch. The real stores seem to be a lot higher priced right now and the quality of the workmanship doesn't seem a whole lot better. I may be stunned. Got any thoughts?

I wouldn't bother with the "real furniture" stores unless its what you really want (as furniture) and super on-sale. The IKEA set is probably your best choice, unless you really like one of the "unclaimed freight" sets, since you have a truck to haul the boxes home in and the skills to put it together. We have some stuff that Dan bought from Wickes and my stuff from IKEA, and I don't think that spending two to three times as much really improved the quality a whole lot.
pay cash, put it together yourself and save the big investment for something else.
