What is the best and worst purchase you've ever made?
Best: Last night I changed our sheets and fell into bed and told DH; this bed is the best thing we've ever bought except maybe our house. Seriously though; I love love love having a king size bed. It's a memory foam (not Tempurpedic brand) so it doesn't bother me when DH is getting in our out of bed. It doesn't make noise like an inner spring mattress can after a while. We've had it almost 6 years and it feels like new still. Most of the time I'm very comfortable in it. I do go through some periods when I wake up sore. But that's when I don't roll at night and that would probably happen with any bed.
Worst: This might sound silly but it's our coffee table. I wanted something with drawers for storage of magazines and remotes. My cousin has this awesome coffee table that the whole top picks up and becomes like a lap tray at the couch. I saw nothing like that. We ended up with a big, boxy table basically. The drawers are great. 2 big drawers. In fact the entire thing is basically 2 drawers.
We moved it out of the living room when our kids were learning to walk because of the corners on it. DH wanted to yard-sale it several times but I kept saying no. Now I'm sitting here like "why did we EVER even like this?" It's currently in the garage with a small refrigerator on top of it. Our kids are well beyond learning to walk now but I don't think it will ever come back inside again.
So instead of a coffee table I have a 2nd hand children's table with chairs that I let the kids sit at with snacks.
