We saw this sofa on day one of the estate sale and Joe made an offer to the agent which she refused. She did get my mobile number and called me later that night and said we could get the sofa the next morning for that amount. I actually got that price down a little bit more.
It may not be the neutral slip covered sofa from Pottery Barn that I had in mind but it has some great features. I like the fabric, the nailhead trim, that it has one long cushion, and has a 40 inch deep seat. It has much to recommend it.
Also every piece of linen and fabric in the estate sale house was custom made. As I can find no tag or label on this piece it may be custom.
I do not show this den often because we use it as an exercise room {CC's exercise ball is in the background}, an office, and watch TV here. It basically stays in an uproar. I hang pictures and objects on the walls that make me happy. They may have no rhyme or reason for you.
My mini office with a non functional 1970's clock that makes me smile. I nearly sold this chunky lamp but it holds up well against this huge sofa.
A few tips for buying used sofas:
Make sure there is no odor.
Make sure there is no pet hair.
Make sure there are no tears, stains, or worn areas.
Pick it up and look underneath it. The bottom fabric should be intact.
Check that the pillows are intact and are included in the price.
Sit on it.
No sagging allowed.
Do no pay a lot of money for a used sofa.
Bargain nicely.
Be patient.
What I am looking for usually turns up and I never buy new.
