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
Go with Karlstad. The Sater looks cheap, and the higher cost of the Karlstad probably means better quality (and the Karlstad comes in much nicer colors).

It came with the legs off and fit through our apartment door. I don't remember the exact dimensions of the door but we had to take the legs off again before moving. It still looks new, two years later. It is microfiber and we've cleaned chocolate off it (granted, it was only a tiny spot). It was about $50-100 more than the sofas at Ikea but worked for us b/c we lived 3 hours away from Ikea. Craigslist is a good idea. Check the garage sale category too- you could get lucky! Have you posted a wanted ad? I haven't had any luck with local thrift stores. I must not frequent them on the right days. Sometimes Target has decent looking leather like furniture.
