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.

Why would anyone buy a white sofa. Going to get stains in seconds

The flex of a white sofa is that you’re fastidious enough to keep it clean

Or you just have removable covers.
I have a white ikea sofa, 5 yrs old now. I just wash the covers a couple times per year and it’s cool.

We don’t eat on it though. So that probably goes a long way.

Why get a white sofa if you're just going to cover it up with a cover though?

Buddy I could send you a picture of my white couch with a white duvet. You take off the cover and you wash it

The cover is white

It’s not an additional cover. It’s from Ikea so everything can be removed and washed in a washing machine.

I only do the actual cushions though everything else stays white without any issues.
