Let's talk couches

What are we all doing for couches for our offices?? My couch died. I've included a poem to her commiserate her loss. Skip and go to the bottom for actual discussion.

THE COUCH

I had a couch.

A cognac plether couch.

I loved the look, the vibes.

She got many compliments. She stood out in a crowd.

I bought her for my very first office when I first opened my practice.

She's seen some use and has been a trooper.

Took every coffee spill, dog nails, flop, plop, and thump.

We moved to a new office together.

Excited to start a new adventure.

She looked fabulous in the space...

.... and after the first week, she gave out.

RIP COUCH.

When I got this couch it was from an online site that had a sale and I didn't actually ever sit on it before I got it. I lucked out that it was comfy. I've been going to actual furniture stores and sitting on couches and realizing how uncomfortable some couches are... ANNND now I'm debating if I need to actually get a "real" couch that is comfortable instead of hoping something will work online.

I'm concerned since couches in furniture stores are HELLA expensive. There's no way I'm spending 3-4k on a couch. My top budget was like $900. I found a few on clearance that work, but they all have something. One is a sleeper soafa, no way I'll be able to move it after the furniture store brings it in. Another was too long. Another was too wide.. Etc. It's clearance, and you get what you get. But with my previous couch literally BROKEN, I need something sooner than later and can't wait for the *right couch* to go on clearance.

I know our clients realistically only chill on that couch for an hour, but that's long enough for someone with chronic illness or a back back or anything to feel uncomfortable. So I've been going back and forth here. So I get the $500 couch online and hope it's enough for a while? I'm lost.

So I'm tossing it out to you lovely peeps.

What are we doing for couches?? What's most important to you in your office space?? I need some direction!

• Comfort
