Best furniture store

As the title says, what’s the best place to buy furniture in Guam? I know its not really a seller’s market and my Company gives me a stipend, so I’m hoping to get at least a good bed, probably Full Sized. If there isn’t really a good place on Island, I was thinking I might buy a Japanese style futon in San Francisco where I’ll be at before coming on island.

Hello again everyone

I’m back at it again with the questions: I’m trying to find a place to rent and I’m between two mindsets~

Monetary Comfort

  1. Save money, live a little rougher but have a full 1k extra from my paycheck.

Physical Comfort

  1. Spend on a nicer apartment with nicer views, better amenities, but pay double in rent.

Contextually, I work in Dededo and I’m not making bad money, quite the opposite actually. My current issue is, however, I have a lot of student debt, a fair bit of credit card debt, and I want to be completely rid of these before 5 years time. That being said, I also know my minimum conditions when working my soulless white collar jobs: A nice place to unwind my mind and keep me off my phone, a good bed to sleep on, and a place close enough to work and a coffee shop.

It kinds sounds prissy but realistically, a good coffee and a good bed keep my costs way lower. Otherwise I resort to retail therapy.

But in all seriousness, on Guam, what would be the better decision? I’m intuitively inclined towards monetary comfort because I’m afraid of my debt, but I’ve also been borderline homeless for the last 5 months living on couches and floors and a thin and cheap amazon futon (feels more like a 2” mattress topper) in what amounts to a glorified closet (I’m not ungrateful, I’ve been blessed to have this, but the conditions are objectively trying). The physical comfort is really really appealing to me in my momentary physical weakness. I’ve become incredibly stiff, my body has started eating itself while also putting on lbs elsewhere, and I’m living at the mercy of my University’s charity. I have become incredibly weak of spirit and mind, hence my deferral to, arguably, less biased folks with some more local knowledge.
