Cheap- but not used. And comfy. I know nothing about THAT kind of furniture.

5/4/2006 12:33:30 PM

Cheap, comfy, but not used does not compute.

5/4/2006 12:36:13 PM

hey, I just IMed you, are u at your computer?

5/4/2006 12:36:20 PM

No-- I'm @ work... but you can PM me.

Well not THAT cheap- my parents had said they would buy me a washer & dryer when I got a new place... but now that my new place has those-- I get a couch instead. haha

5/4/2006 12:38:26 PM

You can get a decent couch at Rooms to Go for ~$500.

5/4/2006 12:40:02 PM

Oooh... good thinking...

I like:

499.99

499.99

549.99

5/4/2006 12:59:10 PM

Jennifer Convertibles has pretty good prices, plus they're an extra bed. Not sure if they're in NC though.

Sorry... I consider 499.99 for a nice couch pretty damn cheap- obviously beyond you though.

Cool I'll check Jennifer Convertibles out too.

5/4/2006 1:19:00 PM

$499 is peanuts

but none of those couches look comfy

5/4/2006 1:20:20 PM

321 in Hickory

can't wait to get mine down here when i get my townhouse. most comfortable sofa ever

5/4/2006 1:21:10 PM

Damnit...

And I really REALLY wanted you to think my new couch was comfortable... I mean... it is all for you after all.

Woe is me....

P.S. I think they look super comfy.

Whacha mean?

5/4/2006 1:24:09 PM

you suck at sarcasm

but seriously

do you really think $500 would get you a "comfy" couch?

I looked at $2k couches and a very few of them were comfortable for my fat ass.

5/4/2006 1:25:34 PM

I wouldn't want my parents to spend that much money on me... And I think they look very comfy... I guess the only way to see is to sit my non-fat ass on one...

Maybe your standards are just way too high hooch.

[Edited on May 4, 2006 at 1:26 PM. Reason : :booo:]

5/4/2006 1:26:34 PM

just bear in mind that non fat asses are easily poked by uncomfy couches.

5/4/2006 1:28:23 PM

Hah- You can go couch shopping w/ me so we can compare.

5/4/2006 1:32:58 PM

I've lived entirely with couches costing between $0 and $30 for four or five years, and they were all plenty comfortable.

But I'm about to holla at some new couches in the next few months, I think.

My living room set and the couch/ottoman in my loft came from rooms to go. The quality is shit. We hardly use the furniture in our loft, and the upholstery is coming off in places already.

My living room furniture is not much better. The coffee table is rickety, and the couch sags in the middle. Rooms to go even replaced it, only to have the same problem happen again, it's a design flaw. The one good thing I can say is that my 80 pound dog hasn't put a single tear in the leather, so at least they use good leather.

But, I'll never buy furniture from them again.

5/4/2006 1:38:12 PM

there is a strip of 321 in Hickory that has a ton of furniture places along it
find some great deals out there

market was last week as well (IIRC) so some places will be selling last years furniture cheap

5/4/2006 1:40:16 PM

Hmmm... Okay so maybe a couch from Rooms-To-Go is no good..

There's a transit damage shop in Lexington (where I'm from) where you can get really nice furniture for really cheap...

I got a wooden queen headboard for 118... Sleighbed.

So maybe I can find a good deal there...

Good luck spöokyjon and that sucks BobbyDigital

How far away is Hickory?

5/4/2006 1:43:19 PM

about 2 1/2 hours
and I have to agree with bobbydigital about not getting rooms to go furniture (if you plan on keeping it long)

5/4/2006 1:49:07 PM

I have the couch in the first picture for almost 2 years now and I still looks brand new... I have had no quality issues. Plus I havent had any staining issues even though its a lighter color because of the microfiber fabric.

Its not the most comfortable couch out there but it was only $500. My boyfriend complains most that it is too narrow so snuggling on the couch just doesnt work.

5/4/2006 2:40:10 PM

Rooms to go quality is def. suspectible. Lazy Boy sometimes has some descent prices if you catch a sale, and the couchs are really well built.

true, there are tons of places on 321. pretty much if you cant find what you want at the price you want go about 1/4 mile down the road and there are more places. there's a good place in the old Catawba Valley Mall, i got a nice mattress there really cheap. there are tons of places in that mall too

if you go that way go visit my parents

5/4/2006 3:08:54 PM

drive to hickory. go to the furniture mall there. buy $1000+ couch for $500.

agree rooms to go is pretty bad quality. i stopped by there looking for a bedroom suit once. drawers were stapled (not a good sign at all). leather was "ok". friend had a couch from there.... sagged badly in like a year.

5/4/2006 3:14:38 PM

Oh yeah, exit 126 on I40 will take you to the furniture mart. Its only like a mile off of 40.

5/4/2006 3:16:40 PM

IKEA, IKEA, IKEA, IKEA, IKEA

5/4/2006 3:38:43 PM

Ikea is shit quality too. worse than rooms to go, in my experience.

5/4/2006 3:39:41 PM

Uh, based on the horrid shit you got from Rooms to Go, if the same thing is happening to your IKEA furniture, you are abusing the everliving shit out of it.

Ikea stuff is made to last 15-20 years and if you put it together correctly, its damn good stuff, especially for the price.

5/4/2006 3:42:35 PM

i got one at "sofas & seats" on glennwood. was pretty cheap and a sleeper sofa. it isnt the best made piece of furniture, but it was much more comfy than the similarly priced alternatives i saw.

[Edited on May 4, 2006 at 3:43 PM. Reason : forget how much, was like 4-500 ish i think for queen sleeper]

[Edited on May 4, 2006 at 3:45 PM. Reason : i find it very comfy, but it is beginning to sag a lil in the middle.]

[Edited on May 4, 2006 at 3:46 PM. Reason : .]

5/4/2006 3:42:38 PM

You people are being really helpful. That's awesome.

I go home next weekend for Mother's Day so I might stop by a few of these places and def transit damage...

I'm glad to hear the opinions on Rooms-To-Go and Ikea.

Ikea isn't really my style anyway.

5/4/2006 3:55:04 PM

I got my couch from Rhodes Furniture when it still existed.

It's quite possibly the nicest couch to ever exist, but it was by no means cheap.

5/4/2006 4:04:06 PM

get a nice futon

IKEA furniture is made out of particle board. By definition, that is evidence of low quality. But that's about all you can expect at that price point. Plus it all looks like it was designed by aliens.

Conversely, our bedroom furniture came from pottery barn. It's solid cherry and leaps and bounds better than the crap at Rooms to Go or Ikea. But, like with most things, you get what you pay for.

5/4/2006 4:06:38 PM

IKEA is NOT made to last 15-20 years. It's good looking, it's cheap as hell, but most stuff you buy from there won't survive a move. I love IKEA, but I don't expect my $70 dining room table to last.

5/4/2006 4:18:42 PM

People who want furniture to last get it custom made with good quality wood like teak.
