In Search of Furniture (A Saga)
Okay, it's not really a saga at all. BUT - My girlfriend and I just moved into an apartment and we decided to let go of our very old couch that my parents gave me 7 years ago and all of our junk ikea furniture that we bought when we were super super broke.
Don't get me wrong, we are still pretty broke, but we are now aware that quality matters and we want to turn away from ikea and into the adult realm of the furniture world. Thing is, still pretty broke because of, well life and you get it.
Where is everyone getting furniture of decent quality that doesn't destroy their wallet? To give you a price point, is it possible to get a good quality couch for under 800 dollars or is that a pipe dream? We want to get a dark green couch, simplistic lines etc. Marketplace scares my girlfriend. She has a deep phobia of bug, but she says she's open to things like Re-Store. Are there any hidden finds, hacks or even websites that you trust? I was looking on Wayfair and the pictures online and what the people who buy them are showing are so drastically different that it makes me nervous.
