Best Place Ever: The Rooms To Go Outlet

Today we took another one of those huge grown up steps. We bought more furniture. Furniture that brings us a few steps closer to actually living in the house we've been painstakingly renovating.

The only pieces of huge furniture we really still needed we a dining room table, and a mattress. And since we had been there before, and saw really great prices on really great furniture, we decided to go back to the Rooms To Go Outlet in Norcross.

Since most everything we bought was on clearance, its hard to find links to it on the RTG website. But after a quick Google search, I found a few pictures of the exact items or similar.

Mike has had a pretty specific idea of the type of mattress he wants for a long time. This is of course his first house, which means that this is his first real adult mattress... the first mattress that he has a choice in, that isn't a hand-me-down, or cheap apartment mattress. Unfortunately, since his desired mattress, a Tempur-Pedic, is a million dollars (not, actually), we tried to find an alternative.


We sat on every bed in the mattress section, and kept coming back to the Simmons ComforPedic Loft Illumination Plush Drop Top.

Sleeping on this thing will be an epic experience.


Next, we got a dining room table. I wanted a counter-height table. Not sure why, but I did. All the ones they had there were pretty ugly, though. So that was a fail. We ended up find a really awesome alternative. I'm not sure of that the name of it is at Rooms To Go (its no longer on their website). But, I found the same table a local furniture store.

Our dining room table has a bench. How cool is that? Because we don't actually know. The cool-ness of said table will be determined in its application.


We also picked up something extra.

This is the Maddox Storage Bench. We have been looking for a storage bench for the end of our bed for awhile. This one was $100 OFF. Seriously. We couldn't pass it up. For the record, it is not perfect. The closing and opening mechanism is kind of off, but nothing we can't fix.

We decided since we have a truck now, we would just take all of our stuff home today. Our sofas and bedroom set are going to be delivered from the regular RTG store on Thursday.

Very exciting stuff. It's all in the garage, but still, very exciting.


For fun. Mike in the giant chair at the RTG Outlet.
