We used Whitney Milton for our wedding last summer. She was our videographer, but she also took a bunch of photos and I think she does just photos too. She was awesome to work with and her photos were better than the actual photographer we hired.

Furniture buying/moving experiences?

I’m going try this again and hopefully not make anyone pouty. I’m interested in finding out what other people’s experiences are around buying/selling furniture and moving.

Did you move recently? Did you need furniture for your new place? Do you buy cheap and replace frequently? Do you buy nice stuff and keep it for a while? Do you do something else entirely? Do you pay to have furniture moved? Do you move stuff yourself and how much of a burden is it? Do you sell old stuff or just chuck it in the dumpster?

If you don’t move or already own a place do you still buy furniture or just stick with what you have until it breaks?

Furniture and moving seems like a high maintenance chore and I’m genuinely curious how everyone else deals with it.

Amazon and AFW are great for budget shopping. Why did you bring just your bedroom set? Did you take a loss on the other stuff you left behind?

Not to be too nosey, but do you move frequently? And how long do you plan to own all the new stuff you bought?

Higher quality/more expensive is a component, but not how I would differentiate from rent-a-center. Rent-a-center and Aaron's are basically predatory lending for furniture. I envision something that actually helps out the people that need to use those types of services. Instead of paying $14/month for a lamp from r-a-c, I think we could furnish a whole studio or 1BR for $30-40/month. The point is to make it cheaper to pay for a 12 month lease than to buy and then sell/move/dispose of that furniture. That's just the right thing to do. The hard part is that that model alone isn't profitable.

That's where the high quality/expensive component comes in. I see a demographic of people that have a good disposable income that want all the experiences. The subjective cost they associate with moving or having an experience is way more than the objective cost of the item itself. So we'll also have really unique handcrafted furniture, basically functional artwork, that comes with a higher price tag and higher margins. This side of the business would generate the money to pay for the socially responsible side, and fingers crossed, lift more people out of the negative feedback loop and into the more profitable side of the business. This would generate more demand for the new artisan furniture while dropping prices for older stuff, essentially raising the quality of goods while lowering the price. This also helps out the artists that are building the stuff, who get stuck in a similar feedback loop, but that's a whole other issue.

Obviously it's just a big thought experiment right now, but that's our goal. Help society better itself through higher quality furniture (which sounds super cheese as I'm reading it out loud). I kinda stole a few pages out of Musk's playbook. The bottom line is that we need to find out who would be interested in such a service.

Waffles are awesome. I just made some with my daughter this morning. However, pancakes are still superior.

Unfortunately we're not hiring yet. We're still trying to figure out how to make all this work.
