The $800 couches we’ve bought online (wayfair, etc.) is absolute shit that only lasts 2-3 years. The $1500 couch we got from a local, well established store is about 10 years old and perfectly fine. The other furniture we’ve gotten from them has also held up well. Obliviously any store, online or otherwise, can have overpriced rubbish, and a good furniture store is probably more expensive and slower, but I’d rather go with an established shop where I can go in and throat chop the guy who sold me a particle board piece of shit than buy one more thing from IKEA or an online store.
