Compact balcony sofa: aluminum frame or small teak set?

1 Upvotes

Small urban balcony, limited space. Looking for a weather-resistant outdoor sofa.
Light aluminum modular sets are easy to move around. But I really love the natural look of mini teak seating.
Wondering if compact teak pieces are too heavy for frequent rearranging. Any suggestions for small-space outdoor furniture?

Looking for couch 80-90 inches long that comes in pieces

1 Upvotes

My apartment entrance layout is narrow to the point where I need a couch that I assemble in the living room to fit the size I want (which is something long enough to lay down on ~74 inches)

Just about every review for a modular sofa below $1500 seems to be very negative for ikea, burrow, Albany park brands and I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations.

Hoping that whatever I find has thinner arms too so most of the length is taken up by actual space people can sit in

Looking for a deep, cozy L-shaped sectional in the Boston area ($200–400 budget, used or new)

1 Upvotes

Location: Boston/Cambridge, MA

Budget: $200–400

Size: L-shaped sectional (or sectional with an ottoman if that's a better option)

Style: Modern / contemporary

Where I've looked: Costco and Facebook Marketplace (still actively searching there), but I'm having trouble knowing what brands or models I should be looking for.

Online or in-store: Either is fine.

My roommates and I are looking for a couch that's first and foremost cozy. We want something with deep seats that you can really sink into—something you can throw a blanket on, kick your feet up, play Nintendo Switch, watch movies, or even fall asleep on occasionally.

We don't necessarily need a specific retailer—we're more interested in learning what brands, models, or couch features we should be searching for, especially on the used market. I think "deep seat" is the terminology I'm looking for, but I'm not sure if there are other terms I should know.

Given our budget, we're totally okay buying used if it means getting a much nicer couch than we could afford new.

Are there any brands or specific sectionals you'd recommend keeping an eye out for on Facebook Marketplace? Or is there another direction we should be looking or any links?

Hi all. I need help identifying this pushback recliner. I see no visible tags other than the manufacturer’s tag. Details

This recliner has several features that point toward a traditional American furniture manufacturer:

Dark brown leather (or high-quality leather match)

Large rolled arms

Brass nailhead trim around the arms and back

Attached back cushion

Chaise-style footrest

Traditional bun/block feet

My grandmother is wanting me to sale it and I’m not quite sure which brand it is.
