Whats the Worst that Could Happen?



Accidents Happen - New Furniture Purchased

I've done some dumb things in my lifetime that are funny to recount. Some of them were accidents that resulted in destruction and other times my faux pas was more deliberate. No matter what I did or how it happened, these are a couple of the stories of how I needed to find new furniture for sale.

Unintentional Consequences

After living away from my family for a few years, I decided to move back to my hometown. While I was away, I had managed to work my way up the ladder at a franchise restaurant. I made a few furniture purchases and found out real quick that some items weren't made for old houses with narrow doors. I had a nice leather couch that wasn't going to fit inside the new house into which I was moving.  First I decided to eyeball the measurement and cut the legs off the bottom. Then I realized I should have actually measured it because it still would not fit. I decided to take off the door and squeeze it through. Mid-squeeze, I heard this awful ripping noise, but so I gave up and began trying to extract the sofa. I ended up pulling various items off the doorway like the strike plate and some trim. So, here I was stuck with a couch that looked like it was 10 years older than it was. I just toted it to the side of the road and hoped that someone would pick it up.

Intentional Consequences

I know this might elicit some groans from people, but my older brother and I are Packers fans. One year during the playoffs, they played a particularly close game and ended up losing. I decided that I needed to let out some frustration. Hindsight is always 20/20 so I'm not too proud of this, but I took my armchair outside and decided to see how far I could throw it. My brother and I are relatively big guys so we made a game out of it. After the demolition was done and my brother had shown me up, I realized that I need a new recliner. In all honesty, I think I might have done that simply to justify getting a new one, anyway. 


Furniture Store in Abilene, TX

Back then, I wish I would have been close to Abilene. I could have just gone to a Pierce Gallery Furniture store and picked up a quality replacement. They have such a large selection of furniture for sale that you can find a suitable replacement for any item you need. Their selection of home accessories is top notch, as well. No matter what your taste is, they can help you out!
