Go Native 70 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 We got most of our furniture from ニトリ. We ordered it online and they delivered and set it up for us. We got some nice leather couches for the living area. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Nitori wouldn't know black walnut if it hit them on the head and then introduced itself. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Class almost always comes naturally, can't be learnt or bought. Which is actually a good thing, really. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Who cares about 'class'? Is that some sort of British thing? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hmmm, no don't think so. One of those things, those who ain't got it need to ask what it is. I wouldn't worry about it. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Is that something like people who claim to have class are just fcuckin wankers? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Don't know. But people with no class often choose rubbish cheap furniture, that's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Maybe people who aren't materialistic tossers just buy for function rather than some silly illusion of class? Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 We got out double bed and kitchen table from Nitori, nice enough. Sofa and other stuff from IKEA. Although handmade walnut tables are undoubtably good looking, I don't have the money to justify spunking so much on a table. Whatever, horses for courses Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Back on topic. Walnut is lovely but does need lots of pie and beer vouchers. Is black walnut the same as walnut or are they different varieties? Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 It's all the same as far as I know. Somebody will probably look it up and tell me I'm wrong. But, back in Canada at the lumber yard it's just walnut...some heartwood is darker than others but it's all mixed together. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Do the nuts grow on the trees? Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think so but I don't think North American black walnut is grown for nut production. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Found a company called Masterwal that specialise in black walnut furniture. Beautiful stuff. Check them out Mr Wiggles. Damn, wish I hadn't!! I like their sofas, especially the caramel leather one. At 500,000 yen though, the three seater is five times the cost of our three sofas added together. We've had them from way back when we used to rent and I don't suppose we'll be changing them any time soon. We got them at Noce. Their designs are funkier than Nitori, but fairly similar prices. Regular walnut (think classic car dashboard) is more of an oak colour, so I think black walnut is a different species from North America. If anything, the luxurious grain is more visible with the regular stuff, but the black one is naturally dark without staining. fwiw walnut trees secrete some kind of nastiness from their roots that stops many plants growing near them.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Black walnut is in fact native to north eastern Nth America. It can in fact produce edible nuts but they are difficult to cultivate commercially so they are rarely used. For all you nut lovers out there, walnuts that we eat are usually from the English Walnut tree or as it's otherwise known, the Persian Walnut .....or hybrids thereof.

Alexander L 80 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 It's all the same as far as I know. Somebody will probably look it up and tell me I'm wrong. But, back in Canada at the lumber yard it's just walnut...some heartwood is darker than others but it's all mixed together. You're wrong. I didn't look anything up, you're just wrong. Deal with it.
