because i can't make a decision by myself...

i decided to use those point thingies for my patio furniture (instead of the cruise i was contemplating)... the problem is, i'm really torn. the only stuff available through the points, that isn't HIDEOUS-looking, is really expensive and will basically take every last point in my bank. and considering that in a few years i may be selling the house to move again, and my next place might be more urban (so i won't even need the stuff), i'm wondering if i really need like $2500 worth of patio furniture?

so, here are my choices:

woodard furniture

pros:
it's free (through the points thing)
it's good-quality furniture
i can pick what fabric i want from about 30 choices

cons:
it'll take up to 10 weeks to arrive (so i won't get it until early fall)
it'll use up all of my points
the style is nice, but not *exactly* what i want (close though)


sears

pros:
it's closer to what i want, style-wise
i'll get it faster
i can switch the tiles in the table out with other ones if i want a change

cons:
i'd have to pay for it, which means $500 more out of my pocket


ACK! what to do, what to do...
