Literally. I had a picture printed out of the gray sectional lmao! </p> <p>We live about 3 hours away from Ikea, so we got something else instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-experience-with-ikea-couches#post-574797 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 09:52:47 +0000 loveisstrange 574797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Karlstad couches! We have 2 separate ones but wish we would have gotten the corner unit. Ours is about a year and a half old and is holding up well. I love that I can wash everything. It's nice and deep so it's easy to sleep on. The cushions start out a little hard but they break in fairly quickly. </p> <p>We actually have the same color John and Sherry have too, the Sivik Dark Gray. I like it. It sort of looks like dark gray denim. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-experience-with-ikea-couches#post-574673 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 09:22:20 +0000 Bookish 574673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have that specific Ikea couch, but I do have <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70119468/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70119468/</a><br /> that loveseat, and I LOVE IT. I actually like it better than the other leather couch that we got from a nicer furniture store. The leather is good quality and holds up well, and it is crazy comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-experience-with-ikea-couches#post-574642 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 09:16:29 +0000 Turd Ferguson 574642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Ikea couches. We're moving into our new house in the next few weeks and need a new couch...however we reeeeally don't want to spend ridiculous amounts of money on something that will just end up getting trashed by kiddies in the (hopefully) very near future so we're thinking of going with an Ikea couch for the time being (and then going with something fancy-pants for our basement entertainment area).</p> <p>We're specifically looking at the Karlstad corner sofa: <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S69840434/#/S39875665" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S69840434/#/S39875665</a> which I know Young House Love seemed to like...but they like everything so I want to make sure it'd actually be a practical-ish idea. Anyway, just looking to see if anyone knows if they hold up ok over time, if the quality is decent, etc. (and obviously I get that it's Ikea, you get what you pay for).</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>ETA: I tried to add a picture my my ancient work computer isn't cooperating. Sorry. :/ </p>
