    You're fortunate to be able to order on line and everything fits. If I don't try it on then I would end up sending it back then there's the trouble and expense of taking it back plus I like to be able to get out of the house and shop.

    Can you also tell about a roughly square living room with a doorway in one side and windows and fireplace together in the other wall. So you just have two walls to put any furniture or wall hanging

    I personally stopped using coffee tables in early 2000. They just get junked up, and my legs get all bruised up. They are just an eyesore so many different ways to me personally. Society told me I needed to have a coffee table I got rid of it never bought another one and it was so liberating. No matter what house or apartment I've lived in without a coffee table has been so freeing. I still have side tables they don't match and it makes it a little bit more unique.
