Blueprint is makes going into the city worth the trip. Furniture stores, by large, in the valley, are simply too mainstream to offer so much in just one showroom, and no one will cut you deals in these big boxes like eq3, ikea, etc. I found many chairs, upstairs in blueprint, towards the front of the store, for sale as-is at low prices (under 100/chair, even one priced at 49... c'mon) and these had nothing wrong with them that I could see. The salesperson said some things are discontinued, so they end up selling the floor models sometimes for really cheap. AND the fact that they have an annual (?) sale where tons of things gets discounted. They asked for my email and I said sign me up! and walked away yesterday with a couple chairs.. be back to hunt for more. I really love a store that provides good furniture to more people. I felt I could browse around forever, and not be snooted out like in some other design places. Thanks for not being class concious, but still with it Blueprint!
