You can find 3 pieces in that price range if you shop in NC. I am currently looking to buy a sofa, loveseat and 2 chairs for $5,000. I spoke to a salesperson in NC and they said that it would be no problem. I would check out Rose furniture or Boyles in NC. They should be able to tell you what manufacturers have the style you're looking for in your price range. $3500 is do-able.

Awww, shucks ladies. You make a gal want to do a happy dance. I have to tell you that DH came downstairs this morning before work and asked, "Have you gone on 'your' forum yet? What else did they say?". I let him read the comments and he was absoultely tickled! Considering there are many of you who are the doyennes of substance and style, including some pros, he knows if there's honest critique, suggestions or praise to be given, I can count on the GW'ers for an honest opinion. Thank you one and all.

Oh, Funkyart -- Thank you so much for giving that visual! Yep, you're absolutely right - the chair does indeed take the room in the wrong direction, and while I still love it I think I will just pretend it doesn't exist. The seller emailed me back and said she's received a lot of inquiries (not surprising; our CL is usually filled with crap - like "beer" chairs) and that she's not wanting to drop her price. (It would be adorable in my upstairs bedroom though ...) Thank you all again for the thoughts on this!

So, unfortunately, Wayfair does not have what I am looking for. The ottomans on Ethan Allen are nice but not the cube dark grey I was looking for. Thank you for the attempts!
