My parent’s hand-me-down sofa lasted over two decades. I was never a fan of the blue stripes and small pink flowers. After several months of casually looking at furniture, I finally found a sofa that met our criteria:
- No leather
- No Microfiber
- No flowers
- Not too soft
- No fluff
- Clean lines a must
I found a place called Cort that rents furniture for staging houses. They also sell this furniture at a discounted “used” price, even though the furniture is never really used to sit on. So we got a great deal on a “nearly new” sofa and chair.
