I’ve created this short video to share with you some of the great safety features that Young America by Stanley offers in its line of children’s furniture. Hope this helps in what to look for when shopping for a child’s room!

I’ve carefully chosen the lines we carry at Pippin McGee and wanted to share with you the reasons I chose Stanley Young America furniture as one of the manufacturer’s whose lines we proudly carry. This will also give you an insight into what to look for when you are trying to choose a manufacturer or brand of products for your children’s furniture needs.

With a long standing name like Stanley Furniture, it was a natural for them to decide to get in to the children’s furniture. Why not, they already made quality furniture at a great value, they had all of the production in place, and great people that continue to bring a family environment to the company and great leaders at the helm that can see that parents want their children to have the very best. The next step was how to do it properly. Many furniture companies have jumped in to the children’s furniture end, but not many have done it to the extent that Stanley Young America has by making sure that they have met and exceeded the safety guidelines as well as setting numerous standards in the industry like: Continue Reading »

Towards the end of last year, we were searching for the Ultimate Bean Bags and we picked Sitting Bull USA bean bags for their function and style – an unbeatable combination! We knew we had picked a winner when we sold every single piece we had on the floor within days. And now the New York Times has given these fantastic bean bags a vote of design and style by featuring these bean bags in the Home & Garden Section. We were excited to see that and happy to remind you that if you’ve bought one – then you made an excellent choice and if you haven’t, well…time to make an excellent choice if you are looking for a bean bag.

And of course give ourselves a pat on the back as well. Great job Kim! You picked another winner! We love your product scouting skills!

Here is a link to the Sitting Bull USA, featured in the New York Times today! (Sitting Bull USA is on page 5 of 9 on the slideshow.)

We would like to thank our customers who ask for products and tell us what they would find useful. Please keep those requests coming and rest assured we’ll do our best to find you a great combination of style, value and function! Thank you for your confidence in us!

Our Search for the ultimate bean bag…..

After numerous requests for bean bags, I went on the hunt for not just any bean bag, but the ultimate bean bag that was stylish and functional and that could hold up against my two children and still meet my standards. After studying and testing numerous brands and styles of bean bags, we ultimately chose the Sitting Bull company and their unique and stylish take on the old bean bag.

I love the great color choices that they have and the big style that allows a child or a grown up to sit in the bean bag, but it wasn’t until I got the bean bag home and put it in the playroom with the kids that I realized how great this bean bag is. My 5 year old was able to lay on it while watching a movie on one side while my daughter was able to curl up on the other side and take a nap and both got their own individual space and for once seemed perfectly content sitting right next to each other. What a unique concept. Continue Reading »

We hope your New Year has started well and wish you joy and abundance in the coming year! We have been a little behind on posting to the blog in the new year and we apologize about that. We’ve been tied up with moving the physical store and going through a few challenges of starting up at the new location. Despite all the planning that went into it, we ran into a few hurdles but are glad most of that is behind us!

The good news is – the new location (for our local customers) – is a fabulous and fun spot to shop at and we will be reopening this weekend (12th of January, 2008) with many new products we’ve researched and selected over the last few months. The new location is at:

1800 Kaliste Saloom – right by Fresh Market at Main Street, River Ranch.

Here’s wishing all of you a fantastic year ahead again!
