Platform Beds

Never underestimate the potential of great design. Platform beds are completely stunning examples of the emotional response great design can generate. The smooth low profile look lends a distinct stylishness, sophistication through simplicity. An appealing bedroom setting that is elegant will be a bonus for the outcome when a sleek platform bed is the centerpiece of that bedroom. The low profile look of typical contemporary platform beds also creates an illusion of a bigger room for the seemingly small bedroom.

Platform beds are not the only highly desirable bed option for those looking for that low contemporary look. The sophisticated look of a typical platform bed disguises a highly desirable feature though, which is the lack of the need for a box spring. That’s right. They don’t need box springs. There is a new factor driving a desire for less when it comes to home décor: home owners whose plan to trade up for a more expensive mattress sets are on hold because of the slumping economy, as of late. However, when buying a platform bed, the customer only needs a mattress and not the box spring, thus saving money.

Bunk Beds

It’s hard to beat classic bunk beds. Bunk beds solve the problem when the room is too small to accommodate 2 beds. If you decide to separate our bunk beds any time in the future, you can, because they turn into 2 twin beds. Our bunk beds are made with safety in mind because they all meet or exceed all Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) and all American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) safety guidelines. These bunk beds are beautifully crafted out of birch solids. The bedrails from bunk beds are constructed out of veneered plywood and not MDF or solids in order to avoid splitting and warping. The beds don’t require box springs because every bunk bed, top and bottom bed, feature a slat-roll with canvas stretchers that eliminate the need for a box spring. The only predicament with our bunk beds will be deciding who will sleep on the top bunk.

Outlet Advantage (outletadvantage.com) is a scam originating from China. They are not affiliated with FOW in any way, although they are using our content from our website without our permission. We have already filed a DMCA complaint with Google because they have stolen our content without our permission. We have also filed an Internet Crime Complaint (IC3). We have also contacted Federal Trade Commission, BBB, and Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office regarding this. We have also contacted their host, http://www.hinet.net.

Outlet Advantage even has a Better Business Bureau logo on their site, but when you click on the logo it will send you to FOW’s Better Business Bureau profile. They are basically pretending to be us. They don’t accept normal forms of payment like Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, etc. They only accept GreenDot MoneyPak, which is basically a way to convert physical cash to electronic cash.

Basically, they post ads in craigslist and other free classifieds for items like outdoor furniture, sheds, play-sets, swing-sets, etc. for ridiculously low prices. They only post their phone number on those ads, 201-254-0410, as the contact information. I promise you will never reach a live person if you call their phone number. When you call the phone number, the voicemail tells you to go to their website, outletadvantage.com. On their website they only accept GreenDot MoneyPak as the form of payment.

For further proof that this is a fake company and a scam, contact the The Better Business Bureau of New Jersey, Inc. (Phone: 609-588-0808).

Here is their Whois lookup: http://www.whois.net/whois/outletadvantage.com

As you can see from the Whois lookup they have even placed our address as their own address:

36-05 Broadway

but the state is Beijing.

Please be weary of Outlet Advantage or outletadvantage.com especially if you are about to place an order from them. Call the phone number shown on their website as further proof that this is some kind of a scam originating from China.

Our website: FOW and our store, are not affiliated with these guys in any way. Again, please be careful!

Here are some ways that we can all try to work as a combined community to shut these scam artists down so that no one falls for their misleading tactics:

1. Contact craigslist.org and tell them about Outlet Advantage how they are posting ads with their phone number, 201-254-0410 as the only contact information.
2. If you see their ad in craigslist.org post the same add with the warning about them so others don’t fall for this scam. However, reword the title a little bit so it’s not considered a duplicate ad. Make sure to include their phone number, 201-254-0410.
3. Contact their host in Taiwan and explain what they are doing. Here is the English version of site: http://www.hinet.net/cht_en/index.htm.
4. Contact their phone carrier, Level 3 Communications.

White Glove Furniture Delivery

White Glove Furniture Delivery

There is much more to the term white glove delivery when it comes to furniture. Most brick and mortar NJ furniture stores offer white glove delivery while many “online entities” offer free delivery but there is a catch to that free delivery. It’s usually curb-side delivery and not white glove.

Curb-side delivery is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. A common carrier or a freight company will pull up to your curb with an 18 wheeler and drop off the furniture on your curb. It is the customer’s job to take the furniture into their home, assemble it, and discard the packaging. The common carrier will simply slide the furniture down from the truck and the rest is up to the customer.

White glove delivery, on the other hand, is much more than curb-side delivery. The entire delivery process is handled much differently with white glove delivery services. Usually smaller trucks are used instead of the big 18 wheelers since they are much easier to maneuver through residential areas. These smaller trucks are also usually equipped with a lift gate. With lift gates it’s much easier to handle furniture, particularly when unloading into a residential area. After the furniture is unloaded it is taken inside of the customer’s home and placed where the customer chooses. The packaging is removed. Any parts of the furniture that need assembling are assembled. Finally, all the packaging materials are taken away. White glove delivery ensures that the furniture will arrive undamaged because of the way it’s handled from start to finish.

Void of Contemporary Furniture Stores in New Jersey

Void of Contemporary Furniture Stores in New Jersey

Contemporary furniture creates an overall sense of depth and warmth while invoking elegant simplicity but there seems to be a void of contemporary furniture stores in New Jersey, especially in Northern New Jersey. In the last few years amid the slumping economy and the housing market crisis, many contemporary furniture stores in New Jersey have gone out of business and are being replaced by huge chain stores that cater to the more mainstream customer. As a result, it creates a void for contemporary furniture in New Jersey.

Walk into any big chain furniture stores in New Jersey and ask them if the living room as shown on the floor is available in any other fabric, leather or a sleeker contemporary design. They will tell you no because otherwise they can't offer that promised three day delivery or less and they don't cater to the contemporary customer. The availability of different sizes, colors, materials, shapes, and specialized designs are all part of the customization that contemporary furniture brings along.

With all these options for the consumer who wants to dress their home to impress, you'd think that more furniture stores in New Jersey would fill this void? You would think that it would send a clear signal to home furnishings retailers in that it would be an intelligent merchandising strategy to showcase this type of furniture, but no. This void in contemporary New Jersey furniture stores needs to be fixed. They need to reassess their product lineups to ensure they have an extensive selection that will give consumers a choice that exactly suits their preference instead of having the same, mainstream look with a promise of a three day delivery.

If you'd like to see some contemporary furniture stores in New Jersey that can help customers hone in on a design direction and the materials used to achieve that look, FOW Fine Furniture is your ideal choice and it's one of the stores that can fix this void.
