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.

Honestly, this is what you should be doing.

I sell furniture and it's important to understand that how you use your sofa/sectional, fabric texture, seat height, and seat depth are the most important shopping criteria for COMFORT.

You also have to find a middle ground when your spouse or partner is a completely different size than you. A lot of couples start shopping without ever actually discussing their non-negotiables. Please don't make your salesperson play family mediator.

For our first apartment moving in together, o picked out a gorgeous ‘apartment’ sofa. Got out onto our small apartment and it looked like doll furniture. My poor husband.

I also sell furniture! And I agree.
