We got lovely cast furniture (tables and chairs) at BJ's Warehouse a few years back. They seem to carry 'a' design each year. If you have one (or maybe even a costco) nearby it's at least worh a look. I seem to remember paying for 6 chairs, cushions and the rectangle table a little more than one "name brand" chair would have cost retail. We figured we could replace it every few years if need be and still end up ahead. It's holding up wonderfuly so far.

Not sure on what might go on in your bedroom, but are you really concerned about durability of leather on a headboard? Leather gets a patina that is attractive. There is more wear and tear on a sofa than on a headboard. Any leather or fabric headboard can be sprayed with a standard waterproofing you use on shoes and boots, to protect it from any water stains. If you're concerned about hair products staining on leather or fabric, I'd recommend Crypton Fabric Protection being sold by the furniture stores. Success for the room is dependent on where your windows and doors are located & how you lay out the room. I have attached a somewhat standard layout using the Universal bedroom set dimensions you noted with the King Size bed, dresser and 2 nightstands. If you use a King size bed, you'll want the larger sized nightstands so the proportions are appropriate to the bed. I'm not a fan of putting the dresser across from the bed, but I don't know where your windows are located. I don't recommend the use of mirrors over dressers. It's passe', and it's only promoted by the furniture manufacturers. People get made up in their bathrooms and closets. I recommend a full length mirror be installed somewhere for your use in your bed/bath suite. If you want a flatscreen in the bedroom, it could simply be mounted on the wall alone or with a small shelf beneath it. The bedroom pic in my first posting only had the bed, 2 nightstands and a chest for the husbands clothes and that room was pretty close in size to yours, but only 2 windows to deal with.

So Cisco Brothers, Norwalk Furniture, and Cox Furniture all use solid wood or plywood (not chip or particle board) frames (not held together with just glue and staples but dowels and corner blocks), medium or high quality high resilience foam core cushions, and well made springs? Only Smith Brothers, Sherrill Furniture and Harden Furniture share how they are making their furniture on their websites so I'm just making sure we have the same definition of mid to high quality upholstery furniture.
