I want a piece that will look great, function great, and last a lifetime.

go to a few more places in person... don't worry about online stuff... I've found a good relationship with a local vendor is better than saving $50-$100 online.
as a content shooter I've really been going though furniture that last 10 years, and I've found paying more does really make the difference. for instance the ikea stuff fell apart, and the cheaper couches and chairs all fall apart.
so now instead of a $600 couch I'll pick up a $2500 sectional couch, same with beds... although I can get a good bed with mattress for about $900
