The Best Affordable Bedroom Furniture On The Planet
This is an unsolicited 6-Star, yes Six Star, review of Thurston's Vermont Made Furniture in Brandon, Vermont. After searching all the big box and smaller box stores for Bed Room furniture, I gave up. I'm not easy to please which my Wife will attest to and it doesn't help that I'm in the Design Field ( 39 years as an Architectual Lighting Designer in NYC ) and still going strong. It all started when I saw a social media post about Thurton's. I inquired about some wood samples and met Mike B. who introduced me the the Vermont Made Furniture manufacturing process. They don't just assemble: they buy local New England raw lumber, mill it on site, plane it, sand it and finish it and literally create a Work Of Art. I knew I wanted Walnut but I am not the traditional heartwood lover; instead I prefer the Heart ( dark ) and Sap ( light ) variant. It's more dimensional and visually aesthetic to me. After exchanging samples and photos of my preferences Mike assured me he knew what I wanted and I put my trust in him. To make a long story shorter, I didn't expect what I received. ( Please note that this is the first Bedroom Furniture my wife and I have ever bought in 35 years of marriage ). When my wife saw it she said " It's Beautiful ! " Yup, Happy Wife, happy lighting designer. In reality the Wood Grain jumps out at you in a 3-dimensional way. In my humble opinion, do not make the mistake of buying garbage from a big box unless you want to Throw It Away at a later time; and That is Not eco-friendly. My Daughter, after seeing the furniture, said " I want this after you're through with it. Please put it in your Will ". Sorry Tylor, I guess you lost out. This is true Heirloom Quality Furniture I'm honered to have in my home until the next generation inherits it.
