I'm looking for very modern furniture, but most furniture stores offer the same old fashioned look. I know there are a few stores which offer a modern & contemporary look, but overall I think Americans prefer a different look than Europeans for example. The furniture stores in Europe are all so beautiful and you go wild, but here it's almost painful to select furniture.
I usually buy then over the internet, but it costs me a lot of money.
Why is it that even young Americans prefer to buy that old fashioned "oak-style" look??? Anybody from the furniture industry here on YA who wants to explain why stuff looks always so old-fashioned?

I AGREE WITH YOU!!!!! The furniture in the USA is the ugliest of all. I think they just like the oldfashioned oak style a lot, because it's CHEAP! Most Americans don't care about the look of their furniture. It just has to be big and comfy and cheap!
And furniture from Pier One or Crate and barrel and whatsoever is NOT what we Europeans call MODERN & CONTEMPORARY. They are better though then stuff from the Furniture mart....
I also wish there were more selections, more modern and more contemporary....
maybe one day it will catch on.
Good luck in finding and ordering your furniture online!!!
PS: That's what I do!

I'm in the midwest and my favorite furniture stores are Carsons and Macy's. They definitely have that oak style stuff you are talking about (I don't like that either), but they also have what I call "contemporary casual" furniture.
You might try Pier One and Crate & Barrel, I think they have some ultra modern furniture.

Sounds like you are asking why Americans have such bad taste. And it's bad taste because it's not your taste. When Americans go to Europe and say "well, back home we have........." they are crucified for not accepting the local flavor of whatever it is at the time. You sound like the Ugly American in Europe.
