hi all. i need to get a couch. i'm not looking to pay an arm and a leg seeing as how it will probably need to be moved a couple times.
i'm in minneapolis and would like to just have something delivered locally rather than across the country, but not sure this will be an option. i'm into things like this http://dwr.com/productdetail.cfm…
but can afford something more like this http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/s…
any help / suggestions? thanks!

Frame: Coarse particleboard (OSB), Fiberboard
it has been my experience that ikea stuff does not survive moves. assemble it once, put it where it will live forever, and that's it. you try to move the stuff, and suddenly your solid sofa is more like a ship at sea.

yeah, i was kind of scared about that.
the couch looks nice though.bump^

bo concept have that style. you can totally customize and relatively, it's not tht expensive.
i actually got a new sofa recently. 6wks delivery time sucks but it should arrive very soon.

i think they're based out of MN

hehe that's funny tk 'cause a guy just sent me that link earlier...the non-leather versions of couches seem pretty affordable. the leather versions not so much.
http://www.boconcept.us/BoConcep…6 weeks does suck. there is a place here that has a ton of quality design that isn't dwr prices but it comes from denmark and they told me it would take a minimum of 3 months to get to me! hell no!

weird. the Bo server just went down. damn!

i sat on all bo concept sofas. they are on stiff side. but nova collection is really nice. i looked at bo concept, room and board, west elm, c&b, door store, etc...
then i ended up buying from jennifer convertible. they had this nice clean cut modern style that's not too loft like clean/coldness. i spent about 1200 with custom fabric, life time food/drink spill protection+shipping.
i actually hate to admit i bought it from there, being a design snob and all, but i have to say, i am pretty happy with my purchase.

that's the shit! http://www.spacify.com/ShowProdu…
and on a side note: i was really close to just biting the bullet and buy the Le Corbusier LC3 (well not the one from dwr but http://www.stlloftstyle.com/inde…) but the thing is uncomfortable as hell!!
seriously looks so nice but way to narrow and the damn back only goes just high enough to be annoying

stylistically, i wanted to buy this one.
http://www.roomandboard.com/rnb/…it just wasn't well constructed.
- lvl_130
yeah room and board is okay. i mean they have some nice stuff. i've been to both their store and the outlet center and the stuff just seems to over-priced.
before i moved out of minneapolis there was this place called elements that always had nice stuff for resaonable prices, but when i moved back all the store locations were gone : \
what happened to them? anyone know?

lvl - i was looking at some of those sofas listed on the stlloftstyle site but on ebay. i was curious where they came from.
if you say they're uncomfortable, i'm staying away from 'em.
thanks.

yeah. i was so disappointed to actually have a chance to sit in it and find out form does not follow function in that case : \
that couch just looks so nice though
