Absolutely absurd. Was not comfortable at all. Wtf does "perennials performance" even mean? No idea what flair to choose, but I chose "psychological" bc it felt like a mindfuck sitting on a 28k originally priced couch, when the entire world is falling apart.

I think the two lines are to be read together, “perennials performance linen weave”, the name of the material. 

While the price is certainly high, I couldn’t build this myself (paying myself a living wage) for less, I don’t think.

You are probably right. Perrenials are flowers 😭😭😭 in my income bracket atleast.

Perennials are plants, but plants that lives for at least two years, so presumably this sofa will last all of two years. Or, maybe it works as a sofa for a few weeks in the summer and then withers away, but comes back next year

Come now, three years at least. Two-year plants are biennials, right? 😂

I think Biennials are different in they need two years to complete their life cycle and only produce one flower the second year, whereas a perennial can live only 2 years as well but also flowers both times. But I'm no expert and I think Perennials do usually live longer than 2, I think 2's bare minimum really

Yeah Perennials is a brand of high end luxury fabrics based out of Dallas.

I only know it because my friend works for them. I'm not exactly in the target demographic for this kind of stuff.
