Par 4 Table

First to recommend

Description

"You paid how much for a coffee table??!!!!"

"But mom this is the last coffee table I'll ever buy or need!"

Oh I know your reading this with that smirking skepticism spreading across your face! Well here's why. FLEXIBILITY. Each side of the table has its own pull out leaf to create a nice combination of table surfaces on different levels. Combine two and put it on one level to make a 55" long rectangular table. Made of iroko wood and with four reversible leaves (one side white, one side beige) gives you great flexibility no matter how your space changes. And the design works with any modern or contemporary decor.

"So you can make it square or rectangular as your need changes?"

"Yes, Mom."

"Ok good. Since you can afford the table, we'll be cutting off your allowance."

Bo Concept Sofa

First to recommend

Description

Your pad needs a cool, sleek sofa for entertaining friends. This one is 93" long and can seat 3 comfortably and 4 if they're all dieting. Mine is a medium gray so it can go with any color when I need to change things up. It's comfortable and has held up well (I was initially worried it would lose it's sleek shape and start sagging). No sagging here.

50" Grand WEGA SXRD Rear Projection HDTV

First to recommend

Description

Every YUB (Young Urban Bachelor) needs a "ginormous" TV. Ok maybe need is too strong a word. In any case, here's mine. Perfect for DVD watching, HD programming and Xbox 360 frag fests. Beautiful picture, nice size screen and lower cost than a plasma or lcd at the comparable screen size. I'm lovin mine...that is until it's time to upgrade :-)

Mio Culture 3-D Wallpaper Tiles

10 people recommended this item

Description

These wallpaper tiles are so cool! They adhere to your wall with wallpaper paste or adhesives, and add a cool 3-D effect to your walls. The tiles come in a neutral color so that you can paint over them to match your existing decor. And, they're made from 100% urban waste paper, so they're eco-friendly as well. How lovely.

Love this bowl. Even without fruit it can just act like sculpture but I do put fruit in it. It's a bowl; it's cool; nuff said.

VTech Cordless Phone i5871

First to recommend

Description

Ever notice that most cordless phones are butt ugly and cheap looking? Not this one. It's brushed aluminum with black accents. It has features like a cellphone and lets you upload pictures to the color screen for caller id or wallpaper. It also can record ringtones from any audio device and has a full answering system. It utilizes 5.8Ghz frequency for clear calls and has a great speakerphone on the handset.

Bakery Group Lamp

First to recommend

Description

Mood lighting is essential in any space especially a bachelor pad. I use lamps from The Bakery Group. I purchased mine from a store in DC called Apartment Zero. They're not plastic but a thin polyester material wrapped around a 3 dimensional wire structure. They may look flat in the picture but they actually have a depth and volume that can't be seen when lit. Absolutely incredible looking in person. I believe Ikea has a very cheap looking version of this in their 2004 catalog.

LC4 Chaise Lounge

First to recommend

5 people recommended this item

Description

Comfortable, classic and stylish. This is a design icon that's actually usable. Great for reading, watching tv or playing video games. Everyone that's sat in it loves it. These can range in price from $600 to thousands. It depends on the quality of reproduction, materials, construction and whether it's a licensed original or a repro.

Jack Spade Field Bag

First to recommend

8 people recommended this item

Description

In the metropolitan areas, most guys carry messenger bags during their commute. This is the one I use daily. It's navy blue and understated on the outside and wild orange on the inside. The interior color actually helps me find things quicker since it's so bright that everything in the bag stands out in contrast. Also has some handy pockets for an iPod with a hole for the headphone wire to snake through. Very durable and sharp but understated.
