Please help. We are in the market for a couch. We want good quality and
dont know exactly what to get. Has anyone got something new from a store
which they love and trust? How are Scandanavian Design sofa's?
Thanks! (5/00)
We bought our sofa at Busvan for Bargains in SF and have been very pleased.

The new Ikea in Emeryville has a great selection of sofas. We
would love to buy one, but it's been kind of a hassle. We went
down to the store (no small feat with the traffic!) and picked out
a sofa and a color and went to the pick up area. They didn't have
the color, didn't know when it would be coming in and told us
to call to see when it came in. I called, and the recorded
message said that until it was less busy, they wouldn't be giving
sales or product help out over the phone. Kind of annoying.
However, the couches they have are pretty swell, so we'll probably
go back to actually get one sometime, just not when it's so busy.
Hi, I am also in search of a sofa and or sofabed. I went to Ikea yesterday
(first time) and sat on A LOT of sofas. Some were very comfortable and
supportive of backs, and some were too cushy and slumpy. Quality seemed to
vary too, and the prices were all pretty reasonable to cheaper. You can also
order some of them with fabric and colors of your choice. Good luck
