It still won't be delivered for a week, but its going to be a big step up from the futon we've been sitting on for the last year and a half.

It is microfibre or something, not leather. About 8.5 feet long and 4 feet wide with big cushiony cushoins.


We looked at like 200-250 couches and ended up picking this one...


Just curious if anyone has gotten a couch recently and how much they paid for it.

i have NEVER paid for a couch. my parents keep giving me there old ones when they buy stuff. heh


The couch i have now is about 12 years old. So we are thinking of getting a new one. I would try to talk my parents into getting a new one but they got one last year ($1200) and gave there old one to my sister (who sold it to a friend for $300).

I bought a cheap one from VCF recently for $500. It's really nice now, but I know it won't be good for more than a few years.

how much did you pay?

got one at a yard sale for $50. It's good. It'll be better once the old people smell goes away.

I love those microsuede couches. They are very comfortable, and a lot nicer than leather in the summer.

I paid $700 3 years ago for our couch & love seat. They are ok, but you get what you pay for. It looks like we'll be replacing them in a year or two, if we can make them last that long.

Our Couch was 800 + delivery/tax,etc. I think its a nice couch and a step up from the ones we were looking at for 500.

Also, its huge! which is nice after the short little futon.

They have some good stuff, and some crappy stuff. Let me know how comfortable/how it holds up in a few years :)

Huge L couch, pretty nice when we took it out of the guys house, tore the hell out of it on the way down 3 stories.
Been puked on, we paid $50.
Very comfortable, sleepable-on, folds out into a full size.

We bought a new sofa for the living room a few months ago for $800.00. I hated waiting a month to have it reupholstered from the orginal fabric at the showroom but now I see it was worth the wait.

Now I want to get rid of my couch and loveseat in my den and get a sectional.

just bought a townhouse and are hunting for living rom furniture, bedroom furniture, office furniture...

Cannot believe the amount of $$$ I've spent in closing, re-carpeting,re-painting and moving into a house. Everyday, i ask myself why I did not just stay put in my old apartment complex....

c'est la vie
