As you probably know by now, I spend more time than most people surfing the internet for everything furniture. I look for cool furniture, cheap furniture, furniture sites, and furniture stores. Basically, I make nice with google and various furniture words. One of the furniture searches I most enjoy is when I occasionally check out what furniture youtube has going on. There is often video of new and innovative furniture pieces from around the world. In this case, it is basically a convertable furniture piece that appears to be fully automated. I have no idea if this furniture is available for sale in the US, or even in Europe, but it sure does look like one heck of a conversation piece to put in a guest room or kids bedroom. Check out the video and if anyone has seen this in any US stores, let me know!
Im still seeking out more online furniture stores to check out. Stay tuned for more furniture .com reviews. Also, if anyone has a good or bad experience with any online furniture stores, be sure to let me know!
Hope this helps (or is at least cool looking),
The Furniture Guy

Furniture Shopper Links
Since much of my spare time (what little I have) is spent surfing the net and talking with friends that are still in the furniture biz, it seems reasonable that from time to time I should share some of what I find. With that said, here are some furniture links that furniture shoppers may find helpful or entertaining.
Furniture Today is sort of THE magazine for those in the furniture business. Knowledge is power, so if you know more about the furniture industry it can certainly help your furniture shopping.
As a general rule, About.com is reliable with their information. Here are some furniture tips they offer. Pretty good stuff if you ask me
Under the category of "you can find ANYTHING online," here is a site that actually features a furniture joke!
THere are a number of consumer sites out there. Ripoff Report has a lot of good reporting on furniture stores all over the country as well as online. Woth looking at before you buy furniture in person or online. Just be responsible...ONE bad report does not a bad furniture seller make.
I will try to post more links from time to time, but I hope that you as furniture shoppers and furniture buyers are able to benefit from the information above. As always, post here (which shoots me an email) and I will be happy to give you additional information if you need it. And to those who have done so already...or who have emailed me directly...THANKS
Hope this has been helpful!

Talk About Versatile Furniture!
Yes, The Furniture Guy is currently obsessed with furniture related videos. I have not forgotten the continued commitment to .com furniture reviews, and you can probably expect one later today or at least early on tomorrow. THis one will be one of the many sofa domain sites (ones where sofa, rather than furniture, is the key to the domain name).
This video, though, HAD to be posted. I have no idea how comfortable this furniture would be, but for a furniture shopper who is looking for "flexibility" and versatility with their furniture will love this little wonder. The man is not speaking english in the video. Additionally, I did notice that he does not actually ever sit on the piece. There is a video out there online that I found, though, where a couple sits on it in a few different formations. Again, I have no idea about comfort, but one can certainly sit on this furniture. As for that other video, search google or something...it was not as clear as this one (it was sort of grainy, like one of those hostage videos on middle eastern television), so I embedded this instead.
Hope you enjoy, and if anyone knows whether or not you can buy this stuff in the US, email me or post here so I know. Would LOVE to see it in person.

Furniture.com
Furniture.com is probably the largest online furniture presence. That is, no doubt, partially a product of having a fantastic domain name (unlike the cheapskates over at Furniture Guy headquarters). That is mainly why I decided to look into furniture.com and see if I could get a feel about whether or not it is worth a look for online furniture shoppers.
Who They Are
First off, if you are not familiar with online furniture stores, you may not realize that they are generally owned or controlled by traditional furniture retailers. In this case, furniture.com is an ecommerce presence for a variety of furniture retailers. In fact, the big seller for them is that they do allow retailers to have an online presence without having to do it on their own. Overall, though, it should also be noted that the brand of furniture.com is owned by Levitz (on stock reports you will see it reported as part of LEvitz, and I don't think it is a fact they hide at all)
Here is an article that gives a little more information on what furniture.com is. Remember, when furniture shopping, information is important to have:
What I found about Furniture.com
I have to say that the site itself is very nice. Additionally, there is some good content there and solid advice for furniture shoppers. Generally I am leary of advice on a site for a particular manufacturer, but in this case there is some stuff there worth looking at. They even have design advice and a site that will help you set up the design of the room you are looking to furniture. So information wise, they have as much as an online furniture shopper could need.
However, as I searched and talked to people about furniture.com, it was difficult to find much of anything in the way of reviews. However, when I was able to find them, they were largely negative. They were examples of my fear about online furniture shopping: customer service and return issues. Granted, I did find that these reviews were several years old so there is really no way to know if things have improved over at furniture.com. For now, I would check them out but would be a little leary of buying from them just yet without more information. I will continue to look into them, but they have a bit of that Levitz rep going already from what I can see.

The Furniture Guy Video
Furniture Guy
Posted May 18, 2006The Furniture Guy takes a tumble during a commercial shoot. Don't worry, he's okay. But what about his guitar?
Furniture shoppers should feel free to stop and chuckle any time. This little video has long since made the rounds on the internet, but it occured to me that this was also something that I simply HAD to have on my site. Enjoy it...furniture does not have to be serious, and furniture commercials rarely are.
