living room!

so about a month ago, i went looking for couches for our living room apartment!  adam has been living in an apartment for about a year and a half, but his couch and chair in his living room were free.  like i've said before, if it's free it's for me!  but, this couch has seen it's end.  when you sit on it you're practically on the floor.  and now it's started scratching people with it's claws/staples.  that being said, it has served it's purpose and needs to move on to the couch heavens.

blah so anyway off i went in search for a decent (and cheap!) couch.  i went to a local jennifer furniture store literally 5 minutes from my house, not really expecting to find much.  i walked around the entire store twice, and while stalking every piece of furniture in the store, a salesperson approached us and mentioned that most of the furniture they would be able to take the price even further down.  okay cool, thanks salesperson.  through all of my meandering, i kept going back to this one couch.  not only the couch, but the rug and ottoman/coffee table/storage container were thrown in as well.  if i remember right, the tag said this whole set was about 850 dollars.

while i'm laying on this couch i'm thinking, man this is a nice set but i'm not paying 850 (even though, think about it, that's a decent price!).  the salesperson comes over and chats with my mom and i, and she asks what he can do for us.  he gets all "intimidating" and says he needs to go figure it out so i'm thinking he'll take like 25 bucks off, maybe a bit more but nothing crazy.

he can give it to us for 750.  SOLD.  sold.  guys and gals, i've done some couch shopping and that was such a good price i couldn't pass up.  so basically that's our entire living room, finished in one trip!

here's a tip: the reason why he went so low and threw in the whole set was because they were getting rid of the old so they can move in the new.  the tag said "as-is condition," so there's that catch, but how much damage can be done, really?  there is a good amount of traffic but c'mon.  it's not sitting in an airport!  my point is, if it doesn't weird you out, buy what they want to get rid of!  as-is!

we are pretty excited about this living room, and there she is in all her glory!

update: i found this same exact sectional in the American Freight commercials and their fliers for $700, with no ottoman or rug. so if i can beat American Freight, i can do anything. rather, Jennifer Furniture can do anything, i guess, because technically they beat A.F.
