Buyers remorse - Support needed!!
Comments (7)If I understand correctly, its the fabric, the feel and smell. Do you have a sample or swatch of this fabric EA give for you before purchase. Does the swatch match exactly to the fabric on your sofa. If not you have a legit complaint. But if their are other concerns, but mostly buyers remorse, Most manufacturers return policy states that they will not allow returns on custom built sofas, and even in stock sofas with charge for restocking fees and/or shipping fees. But their are a few. Try google search these terms "custom sofa 100% money back guarantee"...See MoreBuyer's remorse: did I make the right choice?
Comments (3)I'm sure you'll be happy with it and can't imagine there would be much difference in picture quality between these two cameras. Like you, I have a nice Canon that I rarely take out of the pack (it takes great pictures when I do!) and a small Nikon that I keep in my purse at all times. I love the pictures I take with the little cheapie Nikon wouldn't give it up for anything!...See MoreSticker shock, buyer's remorse
Comments (48)Evilbunnie (and I love that name!), I definitely don't think your post was finger-waggie. You brought up some excellent points that I hadn't considered, such as contingencies, the my possibly unrealistic $5k remaining budget, etc. What sealed the deal for me on my decision was when I sat down with my trusty Excel spreadsheet, with this forum's advice in mind and the pricing I'd done on the things I wanted, and laid out a 3-step, 2-3 year plan. Even with doing mid-range components (nothing super expensive, but better than rock bottom), I came up with $17,500 for my total. And that's if everything had gone right. I cancelled the cabinets the next morning. I decided that I simply could not afford to do what I wanted to do with my kitchen. I would rather do a $500 patch job to get me some temporary storage and to knock out the wall to give me more open space, than to spend, say, $10k or $12k and end up with a kitchen that I just wasn't happy with. And truth be told, things always go wrong, don't they? To do what I really wanted to do, it probably would've ended up at $20k if not more. The fact is, I'm 27 and I still have student loan debt. I have a secure job that I love, but that doesn't pay awfully well (I'm a writer for my state's fish and wildlife agency). My budget is tight with a mortgage on one income and this economy is just plain scary. My cash needs to stay in my savings account. Your advice and everyone else's brought me back to earth. And I am SO thankful for that. It's a tough lesson to learn, but we just can't have everything we want at this moment, right? I believe we can have what we want, but slowly and with planning and hard work and good old-fashioned saving money. I am so glad to have changed my mind before it was too late. And how wonderful to be adopted! :)...See MoreBuyer's Remorse - am I making a HUGE mistake?
Comments (18)Answering questions: Drawing not correct - trash can fits perfectly there. KD just left - we decided to make the small cabinet next to trash a 3 drawer stack. Sink cabinet will still be blind corner - it's where I store extra paper towels. Thinks in existing cabinet can go elsewhere - even in one of the drawers if I decide they still need to be next to sink. Other narrow cabinet is a blind corner with drawers next to it on refrig wall. I use that blind corner to stow things I need every year or so. I would not want to trade built in dog food drawer for a Super Susan. I can't wait for that drawer! I need the upper blind corner for extra crystal stemware. Works like a charm! Remember, I'm old and now vertically challenged. I only put on top steps things I rarely use and are easy to get down while coming down a small ladder I keep in the kitchen. My present cabinets are 33" tall - new will only be 36" as I only have 8 ft ceiling. So I'm really gaining no extra storage - they'll just look better going to ceiling with no soffit. Cabinet 24" next to stove has top drawer with built-in spice holder (rev a shelf cut to size). Cabinet below has an internal pull out drawer for pot kids and extra pot holders. Below that are multiple slow start for trays/cookie sheets etc. it also holds my bottle of dry vermouth for cookin! Next to it will be the Rev a Shelf 7" pullout for utinsels etc, then 29" stack of three drawers. i would rather have cabinet space than food pantry next to refrig. I'm ending up with two 36" cabinets, plus a drawer in a drawer for canned goods. That's more than I gave now and I'm not lacking space! What I wish would magically appear is room for more dishes - I am the Dishes Queen. I'm hoping one of these drawers can be used for a few plates. Right now, the refrig drawer extends 2" beyond countertop. I will gain it on one side but lose it on the other. I'm used to the 24" - only gave 25" between stove and countertop at back door. No one has ever had a problem and we gave some tall/ big guys in our family. Fortunately, no one is grossly obese or it would be a big problem in many places in this house! Weird size cabinet on wall at right angles to the sink was custom designed by me. I literally laid things out on brown paper! It is 36" wide, by 21" tall by 8" deep. It holds everyday glassware and mugs...perfectly. It can't be deeper or it would extend beyond the frame of the bay. It is actually centered on the wall (or as closely as possible with wall phone I still like having). Why is it so short? First, I don't need more glass space - couldn't reach it if I did - and on top, I gave a small collection of antique copper (newly polished and lacquered) that my mother collected when I was a young child, usually hauling me along. Huge sentimental value plus it warns up the neutral colors of the room. No other place in house to display it. Someday, I'll find the perfect antique hanging cabinet but in 32 yrs, it has yet to show up. I've tried to keep the area around the sink light and open. If I didn't gave two dogs, I might gave put open shelves there but not anxious to gave to wipe dust and fog hair off a glass when I reach for it, it would look "heavier" if it went to the ceiling. KD will Fax order tomorrow so it's now a done deal. I've learned SO much from this process!...See Moreellendi
