Ohhhh I remember Stor! Sh*t when first moved into my 1st real flat I bought a dining room table with a set of butt ugly chairs.

Speaking of fire hazards: In my rehearsal spot our studio mate had a halogen pole lamp, the ones designed to point up (it's only setting), well, one day we were in there and a pc of ceiling foam fell on the thing and started to smoke fast! Saw it immediately and put it out, but many times we or the other space mate would leave that lamp on when stepping out to eat, etc. I don't think it was fire resistant either as the landlords are big time cheap bastards and major code violators (including major fire code issues). Coulda been another Great White incident.

The ceiling foam had been falling down in 1 or 2ft pcs for a while and no one had thought about a pc falling on that halogen lamp, which gets super hot as we all know.
