We went shopping for bookshelves last weekend. A replacement for what is currently in the bedroom, laminated boxes with laminated shelves. The laminate is the fake golden oak commonly found on desktops in many office places. Another item would be a comfortable chair. After much looking, I decided I wanted another glider rocker like the one we have downstairs because I didn't care for the options we were seeing. Found out glider rockers are now in the domain of baby stores. Who knew. Not us, we don't have children and our current one came from a regular furniture store. Turns out nice regular 30 inch wide 3 shelf unit shelves are hard to find too. We did buy something. When shopping for regular shelves, we end up with a very nice enlaid wood cabinet. So much for meeting our objectives.
In our defense, we did debate about and go back during the week before blowing the budget on a gorgeous item. Officially, it is an early Christmas present to ourselves. So, nothing fancy under the tree this year.

Hi Susan,
I very recently purchased a nice glider rocker at Oak Express.
I haven't been in town on weekends for quite a while - so have not been able to attend Borders knitting. Hopefully, will be able to attend this fall.
Hope all is well with you.
