I have a small living room and have been trying to find suitable furniture that is not too overstuffed/big. The other issue is that the door is 30-31 inches wide and most furniture heights and depths are bigger than this. I have looked at Ikea's products and I'm considering the Karlstad loveseat or the new Sater sofa, which is a 2.5 seat leather sofa. Is Ikea furniture comfortable and durable. How good is the leather? How well does the furniture age? I don't want it looking shabby after a short while. Any other suggestions, and before you say it :), I already browse Craigslist, the local thrift store and Overstock, no luck yet. Suggestions welcome. Thanks
I have the Karlstad sofa, and I love it. It's very durable and was super easy to put together - and I am definitely NOT a handy-woman! - so you won't have to worry if it fits through the door. My place is really small but since it's so streamlined, it doesn't overwhelm the room. Sorry, I don't know anything about the Sater sofa, and my sofa is fabric and not leather. But I can recommend the design/construction. Good luck!
Here's a few links to sofas that don't cost a lot and have buyer ratings. I do believe you have to put them together so the door shouldn't be a problem. Good luck!
