I'm perplexed about the cost of sofas - why does a sofa cost 900.00 dollars?
And, should I get it? PS I liked him in BeDazzled. With Liz Hurley. Cute movie.

Because they can get away with it. People expect a sofa to cost that much.
Do you have an old sofa you liked when it was new? Have you considered re-upholstering it? Chances are you can get that done for about two thirds the cost and it will be made better, assuming the guys doing it know what they are doing. It's more work for you though, and you will be without your sofa for a month or two while they work on it. |

Compared to prescription glasses, or even sunglasses, sofas are cheap - for what you get.
