I have never heard of them, but for the heck of it check Elite Interiors, also in SC.. when I was buying furniture over the last year, they had pretty good recommendations here as well as a place in Kentucky.(can't remember their name) With everything I ordered I checked prices with a few different vendors. For the most part I had great customer service & pricing. I did have to wait a very long time for 1 piece, but that wasn't their fault, it was the maufacturers.

This is my first post on the Decorating forum -- usually I hang out in Kitchens and Appliances. I just painted most of our small living room -- it will be 12'5" x 14'2"/14'10" after we move a wall. We need a small sofa to fit the scale of the room. Most of the sofas I've found either are 7' wide or loveseats, but the space calls for something in between. I did a websearch and found "Simplicity Sofas" which makes an "apartment sofa" that's 76" wide, looks very nice in the picture, is American made, and fits our budget. I can't find any reviews of the company and am reluctant to order a sofa sight unseen. Has anyone ordered from them? They seem shallower front to back than most sofas; are they comfortable? Or does anyone have any other recommendations for a 6' sofa in the $1,000 price range?

Thanks, everyone! It's nice to hear from people who've had good experiences. Now I'm even more eager to receive that lamp. Hope other people find this thread and get that free shipping, esp w/yayagal's code (not sure how long mine is good for). I think Fortunoff is having a huge sale right now, if I remember right... saw an ad in the NYT.

These two rose are identical, and are probably the same. My 'Amanda Patenaude' came from Sherando Roses in 2003; "Portland from Glendora" from The Uncommon Rose in 2008 (both nurseries are gone now). For me, the plants are about 5-6' high and they bloom a LOT. What others said about the foliage can be mitigated (a bit) with fungicide. This is one of my favorite roses and I highly recommend it. 'Sidonie' is very similar in form and habit, with lighter pink flowers. (Great to hear that your "Portland from Glendora" is still doing well for you, mcnastarana. I miss having the nursery, but I don't miss all the extraordinary time and work that went into it ... time that I am now using to reclaim my garden from the neglect that it suffered during my nursery-owning years.)
