Re: Recommendations for sofa on a budget - Craigslist and consignment shops are dry
Yes, stay away from Bonded and BiCast products - they are more plastic and poly than real leather. Plus when they go cheap on the cover, they usually go cheap on the suspension and frame as well.
There are quality brands that come up for sale in the used market, however from what I see about 80% of them are pretty well used-up, and that other 20% that is not gets snapped up quickly if its priced right.
All I have to recommend is this Century Closeout. I like this sofa a lot and have one in my store in brown leather. It's genuine top grain leather, 8-way hand-tied suspension, down cushions (part of their imported group). Made well, sits good and they have a 30% discount from the maker. It's a little over your budget at $ 1,899 (shipping price, in store price in higher) and they only have four left in the black Ebony leather. It's a lot of sofa for the money. You can drive to Hickory NC to pick it up if you have a truck, or use a shipping service to get it to Atlanta that would run $ 200 to $ 350 depending on whom you use. I would expect you can get 20 years from this piece and you won't be miserable on it. No disappointments with this. Pay no attention to the price you get wiht the BUY IT button on their website.
