A sofa…. Finally

27Nov07

Dsc 0009-12So we finally went ahead and bought a sofa. It has been over two years since we got rid of our old couch in anticipation of purchasing a new one. We got the KRAMFORS from Ikea as part of their 20% back sofa sale. 20% back isn’t quite the same as 20% off, but we figured we would be spending more money at Ikea soon anyway, so it’s pretty close. For those of you who aren’t quick with the math, we got a $279 gift card for buying our little sectional, which makes it a great deal for only $1,119. The build quality is quite good, but as with all Ikea goods there was a little bit of DIY to get it assembled. The chaise and the love seat connect together with a clamp on the bottom to make them so they don’t slide apart when you sit on them. The seat is quite deep and it’s almost a little awkward to sit on without a cushion behind you. That said, if you are not trying to sit all proper, and snuggle up on it during a movie it is quite comfortable.

Available from Ikea for $1,119.

    [...] opted for the dark walnut finish which goes well with our brown KRAMFORS sofa and Avalisa rug. The only regret so far is having a glass top, which never stays free of [...]

    i have a question for you. i just bought the same piece and i’ve found that the chaise cushion is much softer than the couch section. do you have the same issue?

    thanks,

    Tony, I haven’t noticed any difference in ours. Maybe you could take the chaise cushion back?
