lvl_13 you're starting to freak me out! I have that couch in an "L" shape in my front room.. we must have identical houses..
Its actually well put together, but not the most comfortable.. it doesn't get much use, but it has held up pretty well.. we have it in brown..

I don't know if it was washed wrong but their bed sheets hurt a little. like they were made out of burlap.

re: that couch
I think it must be how they treat the leather, every time I snoop through the 'as is' section, they have one of those couches with a massive split in the middle of it.

(Mar 30 07, 11:26)I bought the kramfors in the scatch and dent. One small seem unwinding in back.
Haven't fixed it yet but saved $300. the couch is nice for a $800(with ottoman) but don't expect B&B quality. It's a fine utilitarian modern couch. One of the best Ikea sofas(or the best, IMO) in leather for the price.

ottoman highly recommended BTW. it makes a nice set.

"that's what happens when you by
15 thread-thread count sheets!"I only buy 400 thread but I didn't expect such a drop. Bought them cause I really liked the color. :/

Everyone buys on good looks.
There's a graphic design lesson for you.
Free of charge even. ffs.

I have a bludot coffee table and side table. no complaints.
This is my living room couch http://www.futoncreations.com/fu…
You wouldn't even know the thing is a futon by sitting on it, but it is great to have that extras sleeping space. I have curved pine armrests though.
And this is my bed.

The Innovation stuff is pretty badass.

Ironically, Design "Within Reach"..... isn't. They're so expensive. of course, it's pretty much all licensed stuff. but damn, that name is way off.
i bought the Sater sofa for my back room from IKEA.. leather quality isnt great, comfort isnt that great either, but it looks good :D and it was only $400.

Ikea is great for things under$200.
When i buy their stuff, though I plan on getting rid of it when I move, as it does not usually survive.
I have this couch
http://www.istikbalfurniture.com…and I am happy with it. Is a sleeper, and has a storage bin built into the seat. Price is right too.

Everything that I have bought from Ikea has been great so far. Especially my colourful bedsheets and wood desks/tables.
Not sure about couches, but we did go shopping there before settling on a different store. Couldn't find anything comfortable and cheap (yet expensive-looking).

I'd like to see more links to stuff like Crate and Barrel - I just moved and need to fill my house with stuff - I have NO IDEA where to start when it comes to furniture. I have a few things left over from the college days that I got at IKEA, some is over 6 years old and still in decent condition . . .
- Momentum20
any more links? :)
