At least the first one we paid more than 30 dollars for. So we have been married for almost 8 years and we have had numerous ugly couches for the duration of our marriage. One of our "honest" friends used to describe our fashionable furniture as Early Dumpster though maybe more accurately as Post Dumpster. Here is a review of all the couches we have owned for all those of you who were never privaledged to have known and sat upon them( maybe you are the lucky ones.
1st faux velvet brown velvet couch Which we left in UT when we moved-free
2nd our worst one yet a scratchy off white couch that lasted about 4 months $10
3rd A smokers couch this time the faux velvet thing again but with lots of flowers. (Actually it looked a lot like the couch in the previous post.) We left it in the UMN greenhouse for about 2 weeks as we daily sprayed with fabreeze. Couch Free, Fabreeze$10
4th A very heavy sofabed couch that was white with pink flowers, came with matching chair$30
5th A couch with hunting motif complete with horses and dogs. Thank goodness for its dark colors because it has seen the most abuse from toddlers and boys who love to carry dirt in their pockets. It has serviced us for the last 4-5 years as our only sofa. Couch- Free of course
Finally this last week we saw a posting on craigs list for 2 sofas and one loveseat. They are leather and we love them. We paid $600 and though not in pristine condition(who wants that when you have 4 children under 7) it was definitely time for an update.
