The long awaited couch


Sugar3 and I ordered this couch back in August. We wanted it in an oak natural finish (shown) with a navy blue cover (use your imagination). After three months, the retailer finally discovered the manufacturer couldn't get their hands on any oak lumber for some reason and asked us if we would accept, for a discount, a couch in birch instead. So we agreed and two weeks later we received a couch...with a red teak finish, and no futon cover. So back it went. In the meantime, the futon cover wholesaler sent a dark burgundy red cover, and continued to send a red cover with each reorder until the retailer switched to another company. Even then we received a royal blue cover, but by that time, we were really tired of sitting on lawn chairs and accepted the royal blue cover. It helped that the retailer upgraded to a nicer cover at no extra cost, and threw in the dark burgundy red one too. Saturday, our new couch finally arrived, in a natural birch finish with a royal blue cover and an extra dark burgundy cover, nearly five months later! Our backs feel better already.

The arms open to hold remotes and small items and the front conceals drawers underneath. Each end also sports a magazine rack.

I know this is a little late, but how do you like the apartment?

We like it, even more so now that we have furniture (or at least a couch). It's convenient and quiet except when the upstairs neighbors decide to make wine by stomping their own grapes.

Bowling night upstairs also sucks. Fortunately they aren't very good so have lots of gutter balls. Otherwise, it might surpass the wine making on the decibel scale.
