In the words of the Beastie Boys, "Kick It!"

Some people need furniture that can... um... really take a beating. You know who you are, those with constant stubbed toes and mystery stains on the sofa. So, to celebrate those who speak the language of tough love, here's the perfect furniture for you!

The nice this about distressed furniture is that is already looks worn. What ever abuse you provide can be called "character" This is a nice little piece from Ballard Designs that can be used as a small side board, media console, or as storage in the entry hall. It comes in many colors to suit any decor! The Lucca console from Ballard Designs.
