Lemme tell you a little story about buying a couch.
IT SUCKS.
The end.
I kid, but not really. So we are buying a new couch. We have some very nice secondhand Bassett deals right now...probably super expensive new, and owned by some snooty rich folks so gently used when we got them a year or so back. But it's time for new ones...and therein lies the dilemma...
First, you always have a budget and the budget dictates that custom furniture...is out. Picking your own configuration and size, style and color, fabric etc is a wonderful thing, but only if you can affford it. We can't lol. So we are stuck with the run of the mill stuff at the various chain furniture places.
We found a couple that we liked well enough (nothing that I loved) in such places...then we (I) decided to change things around in the room and having done that, we realize that the room can take a sectional and that a sectional is really a good choice. Back to looking within these new parameters...
Yep, back to looking again with these new bigger more grand ideas of what would fill the space best and offer the most comfort. We're not tailored people but neither are we squooshy people. Not microfiber people...or leather people. *sigh* you see the issue?
Well I did manage to find a semi custom sectional...we can pick the fabric BUT the bad thing? It's only online...no opportunity to sit, or feel, or measure IRL, but the price is LOVELY...and the reviews are positive. I think we need to make a leap of faith on this...but gosh it is hard to commit to something you have not seen.
Buying a couch should not be this big a production....after all, you put your ASS on it. But, you don't want to end up with something your ass, don't like.
