I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF LOW PLATFORM PIECES – Despite my height I have always liked low platform pieces, whether it is a bed, bedside table, TV stand, dresser or anything else. Because of this I really like this side table (one drawer,) console (two drawers,) dresser (four drawers) combination. The pieces come individually in either gray, chocolate, or blond though there are pictures of it in a darker wood color as well. Personally I think the black looks the best, but if there is anything I like more than low platform pieces it is black and white furniture!

CAN YOU REALLY CALL IT AN ARMCHAIR, IF IT HAS NO ARMS? – The oddly named Anna Armchair poses that exact question. Obviously there are no arms on this piece, but despite its awkward name it still has a very appealing look to it. Made of hardwood/plywood with a flocked cotton/linen/nylon fabric cover, this armchair has a tufted back and polished metal legs. I really like the ebony and ivory look of this chair and the pattern is busy, but not too busy. It is definitely one of my favorite armchairs.
