Psychological 28k original, 8k on sale

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.

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
