You don't want to break the bank buying bedroom furniture. But you don't want to break the bed because you bought cheap. You don't have to forgo quality for affordability, or affordability for quality. But you do have to keep your eyes open and your expectations practical. There are plenty of furniture manufacturers that will be more than happy to part a furniture fool from his money.
Why Bedroom Furniture Craftsmanship Is So Vital
Why does bedroom furniture so often seem to give out before the rest of the house's furniture? Because it's usually used more frequently and more heavily than any other furniture in the house.
Guaranteed frequent use.
For a lot of people, bedroom furniture will get used more consistently than any other room's furniture. Even if you spend all day at work and never turn on your TV, you'll still begin and end the day in bed.
Heavy use.
No one is at his right mind in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning.
Toss and turn in bed? Better hope your bed joints can take it. Who remembers to use a coaster for a glass of water in the middle of the night? If your nightstand's finish is just sprayed on rather than a genuine varnish, you can expect that water glass to leave some pretty nasty scars.
Your nightstand will get a good rattle when you hit the "snooze" button. If the pieces are just slackly bolted together, there'll be some damage within a few years.
Your bureau drawers will be yanked open and slammed shut. If the drawers are sliding on metal rather than plastic runners, you might just jerk the drawer and pull it right out.
Of course, you could treat the furniture delicately. If that's even possible to do when you're tired, it would be a great way to bring a lot of stress into the room.
Taking into consideration that you may spend a third of your life in the bedroom, why not make it nice?
