Couch Shopping

We have two full size couches in our living room. Momoko sits on one of them most of the time. The kids share the other one. We purchsed these couches not too long ago. At first they seemed nice. However the cushions keep falling off the couch. The couch has also lost most of its support. In other words, the things were cheaply made.

Momoko proposed that we buy some new couches. Since we spend most of our time in the living room, I figured that was a good idea. We were definitely not going back to the store that sold us these defective couches. Momoko thought we could visit a new furniture store that has been advertising recently. Too bad their locations are all far away. Instead we went to an expensive furniture store nearby.

At least they were having some sort of sale at the furniture store. Momoko and I sat on every single couch they had in the store. It was a big store. We also layed down on the ones they felt good. In the end I narrowed it down to two couches. Momoko thought those were fine. But she thought two others should be in the running as well.

In the end, I decided to purchase two couches. I went for one of each of the two that were my top picks. We wanted the cloth couch to be green in color. The sales associate said that color change would cost an extra $100. Okay. Then she came back and said the extra $100 would be on top of the original non-sales price. Oh snap. That plan got rejected. The original tan color couch that was on sale was good enough. Luckily the leather couch cost the same regardless of color.

For an extra fee, the store would deliver the new couches, and remove the old ones. Deal. The couches are scheduled to arrive in 10 days. We can't wait.
