Is $550 to much to pay for a couch??

Question

Okay I found cute couchs and stuff I like, and I want to get em in a couple years when I have my own place... is $550 to much to pay for a couch, love seat size, maybe 3 people could squash onto it.

Answer 1

This is a low price.  Learn the features that determine quality (springs, foam, wood, fabric) and be careful.  If you want furniture that will stand up to more than a few months worth of use and want to pay this price, consider used - there are great bargains on craigslist.com.

Ethan Allen for upholstered furniture is consistently excellent quality.

Answer 2

That's about average for a love seat!

Could be less, but that's not a really really bad price - DEPENDING ON QUALITY.

Answer 3

My wife and I paid a little more for a couch with shipping, etc included. I have seen couches that cost much more.

Answer 4

For starters this style of couch may not be available in a couple of years. If it is something you absolutely LOVE then I would suggest to purchase it NOW. The price is about AVERAGE for a fairly good quality loveseat. Be sure that you can actually see this piece in person. Comfort is important and many of the mail order cataloges skimp on that. Comfy at first but soon looses its firmness.
