sofa furniture
I'm moving into a new apartment in a couple of weeks, and I'm going to go buy a bunch of new furniture. But I'm not too sure as to what color furniture (sofa, tables, dinette, etc.) I should get. What will go good with an apartment with walls that are white, and carpet that is sort of a "dirty" white, but white nonetheless.
Right now I'm thinking the obvious black but what do you think?
Since white is a neautral color any color will go with it . That is why most rentals walls are painted white . Choose furniture that reflect your personnality. Do you like modern or country??? The main thing is that you get furniture that you like and that you are comfortable with. . Have a fun time shopping and congrats on your move.

black futon
My kids have outgrown the uses for a bunk bed. Now they want to take out the bottom bunk and just sort of have a bed on stilts so desks and things can fit underneath. Is there any way to to that without compromising the stability? the bed is rated to 300 lbs, but my kids are on the hefty side. Would just leaving one of the bottom bars that holds the mattress up suffice? This is the one:

It’s made to be able to take the two pieces apart, if that would matter for anything.
Thanks for reading
I’d say use braces and support beams as others mentioned, and then get the necessary hardware and mount the two legs to studs in the wall (the long way) for extra support.
I’d also consider separating the ladder from the bunkbed frame so that it doesn’t cause undue swaying or stress to the structure when they climb up to go to bed, but I’m always nervous about that so that might just be a me thing.
Take your cues from this loft bed by the same manufacturer:

sofa futon
I already have a platform to but the futon on. I do not want a sofa bed with futon. I need the futon to be sent to Penang, Malaysia, as soon as possible from Singapore.
8" Queen Size (60”x80”) - good luck

futons
I live in Japan and most people just hang there futons outside for a few hours and then bring them in.
They never use soap or water or anything.
Is there a better way to clean them?
thanks
You forgot about the smacking. You see them smacking the futons to help shake out the dust. Japan is humid and you need to take your futon out of the house now and then for some good sunshine. You don't sleep directly on the futon. It's like a bed mattress and I've never met anyone who cleaned their bed mattress. Wash your bedding instead. Just like mattresses, eventually you have to change futons.

sofas
I prefer a website or links for 2nd hand sofas or other furnitures. I hate looking at newspapers, they usually dont have pictures so you have no clue what they look like. I really wanna get rid of my old sofa and cabinet.
Thanks and 10 points to the best answer.
www.finn.no without a doubt!
You can find anything on there. "Torget" is where you want to start looking. Type Sofa in the search field and limit your search by area in the menu on the side.

It's probably best if you get someone who understands norwegian to help you if you don't.

It's inexpensive, but with three kids under 6 and a dog maybe I should consider it. Or do you think it is a real peice of crap and should be avoided because I'll be dissaponted with it.
My sister bought an inexpensive leather sofa, she now hates it. Has 4 kids and a dog the sofa shows tons of little scratches all over it. I would recommend a sturdy fabric, scotch guard the heck out of it so it is easy to clean. Buy something with removable cushion covers so that they can be washed.
