Who among us does not like shopping for furniture? Well, OK, there might be one of us that does not like visiting dining room furniture stores, or bedroom set furniture stores, but it is still pretty much a necessity. But most of us do not have a lot of knowledge about the history of furniture. You may want to ponder some of these historical facts as you browse the aisles of dining room furniture stores.
Chairs going back to 2 B.C. were found in the Mediterranean area. Chairs were probably considered a wonderful invention, because they kept people off the ground. Then, during the period between 1100 to 1500 A.D., the Gothic period, the furniture of this time was heavy and crude. Then, toward the end of the Gothic period, furniture became more decorative and ornate, because they borrowed design styles from the church. Dining room furniture stores have similarly advanced. The first desks then appeared in the late 17th century and were also known as bureaus. These had a sloping front desk where the writing surface closed.
Then, we enter the a more modern era. Otto von Bismark is known for making the office chair popular when he distributed them throughout Parliament while he was in office. This probably made a lot of politicians more comfortable, sort of like the items we purchase at dining room furniture stores. And if you think that you have way too many items in your furniture bedroom sets, consider this. More than 147 million items are on about 838 miles of bookshelves. All of these bookshelves are located at the Library of Congress.
Ok, so now that you have some valuable history about furniture, it is time to start visiting dining room furniture stores. Maybe you are only looking for a cute little dinette set. Or you may need a formal dining set from dining room furniture stores. It really does not matter what you are looking for, most dining room furniture stores will have just what you are looking for.
Take an afternoon, or even a whole weekend and visit dining room furniture stores and find the set that will suit your style and budget.
