So, my parents live in North Carolina, which is home to High Point, a major furniture production and sales city. We purchased our couch at a store in High Point a couple years ago, and nearly all of my parents’ furniture has come from there as well.

Since we now have a house that needs quite a bit of furniture, my parents put us in touch with their furniture guy in High Point. We aren’t really planning on buying anything right now, but since we’re going to NC for Thanksgiving we thought we’d make an appointment with him, do some browsing, and make a “wish list” from which we could order over time as funds permit.

So I spoke to the guy and emailed him links to a bunch of furniture that we’ve been admiring at Room & Board, because everyone says R&B is way overpriced. So I thought he could take a look and tell me if they carry those, or similar, pieces in their store, and what the prices are.

The links I sent him were pretty much all to slightly modern twists on traditional pieces, made out of nice woods with the occasional bit of natural steel, lots of clean lines, all very simple. For example, here is the coffee table link I sent him (we’d like that table, or a similar one, in cherry).

See that picture above? The TREE masquerading as a table? This morning he sent me that photo, along with a variety of other photos of hideous furniture, as suggestions of pieces we might like based on the links we sent him.

WHAT does that LOG have in common with the coffee table I sent him, other than that they are both made of wood? SERIOUSLY.
