So my futon from Ikea fell apart after my friend sat on it. The material they use is just crap. We are now looking for a good one below 600 bux.

Any recommendations of where to go to? EQ3 is nice but will look at more places since we are looking for something modern but doens't cost an arm and a leg.

Something modern but not cheap in quality like Target or Sears.

Thanks

 

crate and barrel?

edit... crate and barrel... OUTLET/clearence... haha

 

They are okay but they mainly have old fashion ones.. like big bukky ones

 

u can try expo.. but they might be on the pricey side

 

macy's furniture outlet on whipple ave in union city.

got a $1600 Natuzzi leather sofa for $450. Microfiber sofa's are even cheaper.

Caveat...these are scratch and dents from the main Macy's stores, so inspect each one carefully. Some are very minor (our sofa has one rear leg nicked...leather is in perfect condition)...others are obvious flaws.

Also, they're cheaper during big holidays.

 

craigslist FTW, thats where I got my sofa. Honestly if you want a good futon sofa you are gonna have to pay some. If you still have the frame for the Ikea futon, you may be able to keep that and go to a futon shop to pick up a replacement futon of decent quality.

You will have trouble finding much thats quality udner $600. I have a bunch of EQ3 stuff, and its decent, but not THAT high quality.

Evolution is another great place, but their sofas wont be less than $1000. I have a microfiber suede oen from L (big L shaped thing) and love it, but it wasn't cheap..

With furniture, you get what you pay for.

 

+1 for macy's outlet in union city! They have some kick a$$ deals on nice couches. My sis got hers there, just call and find out when they are open b4 you go!

 

http://www.scandinaviandesigns.com/ has some cool stuff - theres one in concord and some other places as well if you look on their site. They have modern stuff as well.

 

Scandinavian Design is way expensive.

 

^^ I will check that out.. there is one in berkeley..

 

eq3 has some good sales here and there.
or
check out craigslist. there's a ton of stuff on there.

 

+1 for scandinavian designs

 

you can try:
west elm

chiasso

they are nice, and not as expensive as Design Within Reach

if you have any architect/ designer friends, some stores give trade discounts.
