Bunk Bed Next to the Heater

Filed under: Uncategorized, Furniture — The Ordinary Review @ 9:41 pm

I have a bunk bed at home, that looks exactly like this except that it’s bright red.

I am sort of embarrassed that I have a bunk bed. I am even more embarrassed that I sleep on the bottom bunk sometimes. Cold nights are my soft spot for the bunk bed, because it’s right next to the heater. But at least it’s not my bunk bed; it came with my apartment, and it will stay with the apartment when I move out.

I give the bunk bed an average review. It receives points for being next to the warm heater, but it loses points for being a funny-looking bunk bed.

Two Bar Stools

Filed under: Furniture — The Ordinary Review @ 10:27 am

I have two bar stools standing (I was going to say ’sitting’ but thought it didn’t sound right) next to the wall of my bedroom. They are made of some sort of brown wood, and they have round, black cushions.

They look kind of like the bar stool in this photo, but the seats don’t swivel.

I give these bar stools a pretty bad review. They have been completely useless to me. In fact, I have not used them even once.

They came with the apartment, and thankfully they will remain with the apartment when I move out at the end of May. They are lazy, good-for-nothing bar stools that serve absolutely no purpose.

This review is biased because I have no bar or high table in my house. If I did, then maybe the bar stools would be useful, and maybe I wouldn’t give them such an awful review. I might even praise them. But as things stand at the moment, I have no reason not to insult them.

Old Maroon Leather Sofa That Wraps Around

Filed under: Furniture — The Ordinary Review @ 1:03 am

When I moved into my apartment, I was delighted to find out that it came with an old maroon leather sofa that wraps around. Sofas are luxury items for recent college graduates, so I was quite pleased.

The sofa is extremely comfortable due to its age. It is wonderful to sleep on and can accomodate two guests. The cushions are deep, so I would imagine that sleeping on this old leather sofa would be comfortable even for people who are obese.

This old leather sofa that wraps around is a bit ragged, also due to its age, but I don’t mind much. It is possible that part of the raggedness is due to the scratching of cats. To anyone with cats who is thinking of buying a sofa, I suggest that you choose a non-leather one because the leather will deteriorate quickly from cat-scratching.

One drawback is that the cushions get loose if I sit leaning forward. But isn’t that true for all sofas? I think so.
