| - "It's cheap"....
-This is what everyone told me. When it was finally time to replace my 6 year old Ikea love seat, my boyfriend and I came here.
Upon walking in, we were like "Omg!! we can afford lots of stuff here!" We settled on a giant, super super cheap brown couch. After finding out that my 760 credit score wasn't good enough to qualify us for a payment plan, we paid cash.
We received our couch about 2 weeks later (yeah, the $60 delivery thing here is pretty ridiculous). immediately we noticed this odd creaking sound that it would make anytime we sat on it. So, we chose to ignore it (figuring since it was a $500 couch, it was what we should expect). About a month later, while watching a movie and enjoying a nice, cheap glass of wine (we're frugal, get it?) the couch snapped, and my boyfriend and I both crashed into one another whilst spilling red wine all over ourselves as we sank 3 feet into the floor. This sucked. My boyfriend and I are both tall. lanky, one might even say "gangly" people. We knew our combined weight of, maybe, 300 pounds could not have broken the couch. Plus is sucked since day one! So, we called Pruitt's and after 2 weeks a nice man came over to look at our couch. "It looks like the frame broke where there was a knot in the wood!" he said "we will fix it, and it will be as good as new...wait... better than new!"...he said. So, after being couchless for 4 weeks (it was kind of fun, we set up a bunch of pillows and cushions and made somewhat of a fort(that killed our backs from sitting on the floor)) we finally got our couch back! And guess what, it STILL creaks.
So, long story short, its been 6 months of creaking, still hasn't broken, yet! But we are too lazy/figure it's what we get/don't want to be couchless again. So, hopefully if it breaks again, it will be before October, when our year warranty will be up.
*** 3 stars because it was cheap, and we will probably go back, and because our crappy couch is *extremely* comfortable, and looks nice!
