As you may have been following along we are finally starting to have our items be delivered for our #RFbloggers makeover with Raymour & Flanigan. Due to the last few weeks being so challenging with the loss of my mom and things that required me to push off my delivery, I finally had my main large item for our living room arrive this past weekend. We were really excited to finally have our fireplace media unit arrive and as expected the customer service for setting up our delivery was amazing. We got a call during the week from the store to confirm that the date we requested, which was a Saturday, would still work for us. They also always call you the day before to give you a window of time when the delivery will occur. When I’ve had my furniture arrive from Raymour & Flanigan before it always came during the designated time window and usually in the earlier part of the 3-4 hour window. So we were told between 1-4 PM our delivery would arrive and it came around 2 PM which was perfect. The van arrived and two workers were ready to go, literally with smiles, to get us our amazing new living room piece. We were so excited that they came on time, that meant we could have the rest of the afternoon to get things done, instead of waiting around all day like some other places make you do. That’s one thing I will say, Raymour & Flanigan always comes when they say they will and do a fantastic job with delivery, set up and removal of all materials.
The delivery was for our brand new fireplace media center which we fell in love with in the store when we saw it! It is called the Marana 76″ TV Console with Fireplace and it was one item we knew would fill up our bare living room wall which was currently hosting just a small media center. We saw this unit in a friend’s apartment in Hoboken and we absolutely loved how real the fireplace looked and it also radiates heat too! What was awesome too was this unit is sleek and black which fits our living room decor perfectly, especially right underneath our TV which is mounted on the wall!
The two delivery men were amazing – Danny and Miguel from the Ridegwood Service Center. I made sure to get a photo of them so that they could get recognized for the amazing work they did. They were extremely friendly, punctual and got our fire-place until put together and set up in under 45 minutes. They explained everything they were doing, we gave them some cold water and I also explained that I wanted to take some photos for my blog project and they were completely fine. I even got them to take a photo together, they were so nice! They cleaned up any packaging or debris from the delivery and went along to do more deliveries for the day.
As they continued to work I made sure to clean up the living room to be able to photograph after. Our living room is primarily made of Raymour & Flanigan pieces including our sectional soft and coffee table.

We got our rug from a local Home Goods and loved the lighter grey high pile style. Our little dog, Lola, loves a very soft rug to lay on to sit and lay in the sun or chew or bones. Plus since she likes to jump off the couch we made sure to get a high pile to cushion her landing on her tiny legs. We decorated our living room with lots of cream, silver, light grey, charcoal and black colors. A few items we love to have in our living room include candles, candle holders, books throw pillows, throw blankets and photos. I got a lot of my decorative items at Home Goods, TJ Maxx, IKEA or from Amazon online too.
After we now had our main pieces in the living room it was time to start to accessories and make it feel much cozier. We LOVE the way the fire place unit looks in our living room. It is 76″ long so it fits nicely under our wall mount flat screen tv. We have the large Samsung curve TV and the fire place unit is right underneath at the perfect height so nothing had to be redone with the placement of our tv. The cabinets have tons of space to hide cable boxes, Playstation and DVDs and the black finish matches our colors perfectly. Do you know how hard it is to find a black media unit like this? It was like a needle in a hay stack so we were thrilled that we chose this unit.
