| - I decided it was finally time to get rid of my mediocre IKEA futon this spring (after multiple hints from my wife and her parents...)
I looked online and found only a couple of good-looking futon places in the city, and luckily they are practically right beside each other!
I ended up choosing East West because prices were the same (and usually slightly less) than the other store down the street, but most of all because the vibe and feel of the store was great. We had a great shopping experience here! The staff were friendly and helpful, even on a busy Saturday afternoon with several customers in the store.
We ended up buying a Bristol hardwood frame with no arms which was recommended by the staff due to our space constraints. We felt that the foam piece/mattress was important too, so we did upgrade to a better quality. They have futon upgrades anywhere from $30-$200 I believe. We stayed in the middle of that range and have a super comfy mattress now.
All in all, with adding a good fabric cover, a better mattress, and delivery, we spent just over $600, which I think is a steal for the quality and the use we will get out of it.
I definitely recommend East West for futons, and also for any other condo/apartment furniture you need. We were looking through catalogues and they have some really retro, well-priced barstools which is next on our furniture list. I'm sure we'll be back there again soon!
