West Elm is very poor value for money unless you buy outlet deals only.

I love west elm

Buy what you like?

EA is QUALITY. Other brands you mention don’t come close. CB2 and West Elm are fast fashion— equivalent to Zara/H&M.

What about them Rooms to Go and R&F? I’m from humble beginnings, folks. Lol

Last month I sold my West Elm chair/ottoman to Kaiyo and bought a La-z-boy recliner. Much better quality and comfort. Totally worth it

West elm is expensive but great. Try find their outlet store, you get some good deals.

Furniture has no resale value so if you live near a high income area like NYC, you'll routinely find folks selling of their high end furniture for next to nothing when they move (which is quite frequent). You're welcome

Measure before you buy

I’ve been with my bf for 18 months and we have not said ‘I love you’ to one another. I keep hearing about how the best/healthiest relationships are a slow burn, you’re friends first, grow to love each other, etc. I’ve never been in a relationship as emotionally slow as this one. It feels like we are friends who sleep together. I can’t tell if it’s healthy or if we just have no emotional spark. Idk... I feel like wanting romance is not a bad thing, right?

What does an exit from Salesforce consulting look like? I’m in a technical role leading a small team so my understanding is a technical/solution architect or a development team lead at either Salesforce or an end user like Amazon/Amex.

I have bounced around a couple consulting companies so would prefer not to do it again. Total 4 YOE.

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
