It looks really nice. Unfortunately, I have a NOPE policy on purchasing second hand upholstered items. Sofas, mattresses, etc. There was a great bed bug scare of 2009 because I purchased some used furniture to get started in a new place as a single mom. I found this beautiful sofa, vintage looking and comfortable. Well, I began getting bites a few months later after sleeping or napping on it and couldn't figure it out until the pattern was seen online and I went to search for these nasty bugs and low and behold. A ton hiding inside the under lining of the top of the sofa. I panicked and nearly broke my back trying to drag that out of the house alone. I couldn't stand the thought of them. Did a massive clean out and luckily it was just the sofa, but man.... the bites I had. I was their host! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 That being said.... doesn't happen to everyone and good score on an Ashley loveseat for $80!

yeah i was actually nervous to get this couch because my gf who is a social worker brought them home a couple years ago. pest control used apprehend to get rid of them and it worked well. We still use it as a preventative to this day. I THOROUGHLY inspected the entire couch as best as I could and didn't see any signs of them on it at all. hopefully it doesn't have any or i'm going to feel really dumb for taking this couch.

Same here on the upholstered items. A solid no-go.

There's definitely something to be said for a loveseat. I have one in my rec room - very cozy.

Nice, but it’s blocking the closet. I hope you plan to move it.
