When I moved to Denton in 1994, I brought along the following:

  1. A shitload of music and instruments
  2. A bag of clothes

Two lawn chairs (the crappy premold plastic kind), a table, and a waterbed.

This is stone-cold pimpin, Eagle Drive style:
 

Lawn chairs are the ULTIMATE Denton apartment furnishing.  Easy to clean, comfortable, and stylish.   Spill a beer on them?  No problem, just hose them off at that fancy car wash on eagle drive!  Got clothes to hang up?  No problems!

Break one?  Fuck it, it was $2 well spent.  Thank it for its service and move on.

I don't trust anyone with more furnishing than this--it means their priorities are horribly out of wack.
