We installed Pergo oak floor in kitchen about two years ago with kitchen remodel. Have two pets with plenty of fur dust bunnies and sand tracked in from backyard (haven't been able to train the dog to wipe his feet yet, LOL). For those of you who have Pergo with animals, what do you use to clean floor? I use Swiffer sweeper to "vacuum" the floor then use Bona hardwood floor cleaner to "wash" the floor. But Swiffer is a big pain, wish I could use regular vacuum with beater brush and Bona really doesn't clean the floor, either with or without using a steam mop which I have also. Floor has lost its shine. Help! How do I get it looking shiny again and what's the best way to sweep it and then clean it? What really works?

I don't recall my Silgranite sink having that curve in the back edge. So I dug through some of my progress photos, and sure enough I found a couple pics of the sink before I installed it, and no indent like yours. Now that does not mean yours is defective, perhaps they've modified it? My sink was installed not quite a year ago... BTW you are going to love that sink! My sink is one of the top five best improvements of my kitchen re-do :)

with sofas, one really needs to sit on them, and be prepared that almost everything new deemed "affordable" (whhich is not cheap at all btw) will be of worse quality than it was say even 20 years ago so I'd say -either be prepared to pay more, but also go to stores and try to sit first and see whether works for you since seating is very personal..depends on one's height etc..you might also be lucky and they'll have sale, or even better- floor models they want to get rid of, etc. Check Room and Board, Design Within Reach(can't get over the name lol..but the quality's nice), different stores carrying good imports from Europe..Cantoni for example..will be very different price yet who knows, one might get lucky. Or even very lucky. or. If you're inclined to invest your time rather than money(which is what I usually prefer to do)-go to vintage stores, even flea markets if you have good ones in the area..some sellers refurbish vintage mcm, and happen to do it quite well. Then you'll be at West Elm price, even lower maybe, but much more superior quality yet another option -your local Craigslist. Saw amazing mcm couches there many times ..pity that I don't have where to put them lol. actually any site that will have option for local pick up is worth checking, but one needs to search by area. these would be Etsy, Chairish, Everything But The House.. I'd take my time in searching for the right sofa. and I might go for a different one-say fabric as opposed to leather. So it'll be purposeful, interrsting mismatch, yet within same sensibility, and with propotions that will have similarity. I spent my childhood with mostly mcm furniture and it's just as comfy as other furniture..when made well. Again sit on it first. Otherwise you play sort of roulette-will it be comfy? will it be not? Whatever's good for hundred reviewers might have absolutely no relation to me when it comes to seating.

You are looking for a unicorn. These chairs looked stained and would need to be stripped and restained or painted. However,the foot rails are a point of wear and will eventually look worn. Life and kids will happen and your stools will show it’s age eventually. FYI, you will probably have better luck leaving the factory stain.
