We bought a sofa in a cheap furniture store and did not regret it. I tell you why
Last year my husband and I bought our first one-room apartment. When it came time to choose furniture for sleeping, our financial resources were limited: a comfortable sofa cost three times more than we could afford. Friends advised me to study the assortment of the "Lot of furniture" store, but noted that the quality of furniture leaves much to be desired. The sofa bought there fell through in some places, the paper clips flew off and the legs broke in a year. We were even more upset when we read the customer reviews. There weren't many choices, and we decided to look for something there.
Pros that we found after a year of use
The furniture in the store was of mediocre quality, but the price was affordable. Of all the proposed models, the most expensive was chosen - the Boss mini sofa. A year ago, the cost was almost 26,000 rubles.
Then, and today, we have never regretted buying. I'll tell you why:
- Independent block with reinforced springs. The difference was noticed right away: when you lie on the couch, no part of your body falls through, it seems that you are floating in the air. My husband has finally lost his back after many years of sleeping on a bed with a soft mattress. For me, an invaluable plus was the fact that under the weight of my husband over 100 kg, there is not a single dent on the sofa.
- Lack of armrests. I understood that the sofa was meant for sleeping, and the armrests would get in the way of my legs.
- Large sleeping place. Unfortunately, the width of the unfolded form cannot be compared with a full double bed of 180 cm, but it is much larger in comparison with other sofas. Pleased with the length - 200 cm. Spouse with a height of 190 cm. sleep comfortably.
- Large linen box. There is nowhere to store unnecessary things in a one-room apartment, so the box turned out to be useful.
- Water-repellent fabric impregnation. We have a one-year-old son who spills water from a bottle on the sofa all the time. If you brush the water off the fabric in time, nothing will be absorbed in time.
The sofa has additional benefits like a 30% increase in seating depth and steel clips on the linen box. We never used these functions.
What were left disappointed
Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks. The set included two huge pillows that should decorate the back and make it more comfortable. When the sofa is unfolded, there is nowhere to remove the pillows: they do not fit into the box and take up space in the apartment.
Outcome
We were satisfied with the purchase and expect that the sofa will serve us for more than one year. Tell us, have you had the experience of buying furniture in an inexpensive store, or specifically in "A lot of furniture"? Were you satisfied or disappointed?
