My current place is rented unfurnished. So I had to buy a sofa so that I could actually entertain guests. Now I have a quite expensive large, sofa that may not fit into my next place and so I'll either have to hope that I can sell it or just end up giving it away to a furniture charity.
Having my own mattress is a must though.
- deanmoriarty 5y agoIf you’re in the US, just put it on Craigslist. I have always been surprised about what people are willing to buy. I had an incredibly damaged couch that I was ready to throw in the dumpster, and a young dude happily gave me $100 and picked it up with his truck, with no effort from my part. I got rid of hundreds of items over the years on CL, and I don’t think I ever failed to sell any!
- mcmeowerson 5y agoWhy not buy a sofa second hand through a thrift store or charity shop? Costs tend to be lower and you can always donate it back when you're done with it.
- hallway_monitor 5y agoOP didn't specify the sofa was new but this is a great point that I think about a lot. People talk about rescue dogs and make a big deal out of it but then refuse to buy anything secondhand. My "new" car has 190k miles on it and I love it.
