Buying furniture...

Looking for a new couch and not sure where to buy. I'm wanting a sectional sofa with a chase in it.....something like these... http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/fud/1350269654.html

Problem is, where to buy. Obviously in that link is a cheap price, but with things I plan to keep for a while, I tend buy the best I can afford, good quality. Anyone have any suggestions where to buy a good couch? My budget isn't huge, but it's decent. I hear ads for places like The Dump, and others, I just don't know whats a good place and whats not. It's been about 10 years since I've bought anything like this.

Thanks,
Nick

Those in the ad look good. My only suggestion is if you are hot natured, don't get the micro suede. Also, the micro suede is not very pet hair friendly. We got our furniture from Ashleys... I know, it's not that expensive, but we have been very happy with everything. (We did buy the extended warranty though)

What do you mean exatly by not pet hair friendly? I have a dog and a cat, the dog tends to shed a bit, but it's short white hairs.
Hey nick my brother works at Ashleys in frisco. He can hook you up.

It sticks to the furniture. BAD. Also, I have a couch that I bought from Rooms to Go while I was in college so the thing is about 6 years old and it looks awful. The micro suede is faded, the fabric thinned in places, and it just needs to be replaced. I think that's ridiculous. My folks had a couch that they bought when I was in the first grade and it lasted until I went to college. I think they finally got rid of it because it was ugly, not worn. I guess that's what I expected when I bought this one... for it to last awhile. :dunno:
I have a micro suede sectional from Ashleys and I have two dogs (Lab and American Eskimo) and I don't have a problem with dog hair sticking that badly. Just get one of those sticky rolling things and it comes right up.

Post his name and info, I would rather give my sale to with someone that at least has a tie to DFWStangs than some jackass I will never see or hear from again.
Nick, we have micro suede couches too, and let me tell you, the amount of animal hair those things collect is unreal! You may "think" your dog doesn't shed alot, but get one of those and you'll see how much he actually does shed.

works great for us and just takes a couple of seconds.
What color do you want.... i have a damn near new sectional couch currently shrink wrapped in my storage... Its light tan (i think i haven't seen it in a year) and has 4 recliners in it... Plus the cup holders and remote compartment.....I bought it in 2007, used it one year, shrink wrapped it and put it in storage while i lived overseas.... I won't be able to use it later on and honestly it was the Ex wifes couch not mine......

Mine is also micro suede and i do recall that my dogs hair would cling to it, but i never had an issue with the vaccum cleaner doing its job...

PM me if you want to know more/see it.
So I guess that brings up another question...

Is there is difference in the different micro suedes? Cheaper ones being more prone to long term problems and the higher quality being better for long term? Or is all micro suede the same?
Oh it was purchased at the big furniture place on 75 north in allen....Stacy's?, ashleys?, hell i dunno....

That would be Stacy's. I think they are WAY over priced.
Check out Weir's. They usually carry quality stuff.
We just got our couches from Rooms to Go and we are really happy with them. Comfiest couches I have ever sat in. Micro fiber, 2 recliners in couch and 2 recliners/rockers in the loveseat with storage and cupholders in the loveseat as well. Just under $2k for the couch, loveseat, 1 end table and the stain treatment.

sorry for the crappy pic but its all I got

**EDIT**Oh and I heard about the dog hair sticking to the micro fiber too but havent seen it with our doberman. She isnt allowed on there but the few times she has snuck up there I checked and no hair to be found.

Yeah, I've bought a few things from Eurway in the past. Was just looking for some advice so I didn't have to go into every single store looking for some quality furniture.

find a store thats having a going out of business sale they usually have the best deals considering they somehow always make enough to stay in business.
I'm digging the hell out of this couch. But with a dog that sheds white hair, this black couch would be murder to keep clean :(
