Bargain Furniture Shopping!

My most viewed post, Designer vs. Bargain, is all about finding the bargain furniture piece.  I figured it was time to revisit this most viewed post! (I don't even share this post on my social media and it gets views daily... just floating around the world wide web.)

  

This is the sofa that inspired my original post! Unfortunately, Bob's Discount Furniture no longer sells my beautiful, $550 couch. The designer version (Ethan Allen Chadwick Sofa) is a show stopper but costs a pretty penny. 

 If you search hard enough, finding the more affordable version of what you really want is 100% possible. 

*Side Note- I am sure this couch is well made and beautifully crafted. My grandma has all Ethan Allen furniture and it lasts a lifetime. If I could afford it, I would consider buying it if on sale. However, my affordable Bob's sofa is going on 5 years and has been very good to us! ;) 

Here are some other comps I found while searching online... (click the pictures to make them larger)

 Ethan Allen sofette compared to one on Wayfair. I actually think I like the look of the Wayfair sofa better than the EA one.

Not 100% similar but definitely in the same boat. The Bob's sofa is quite the deal in comparison to the Ethan Allen one.

This Arhaus chaise lounge is stunning... but the Wayfair version looks just as beautiful and for a fraction of the cost. 

I'm a BIG fan of Homegoods but you can't always guarantee their inventory. Correction, you can never guarantee their inventory. If you're in northern NJ and reading this, HomeSense (sister store of HomeGoods) just opened in East Hanover and they have a nice furniture selection. Much bigger than HomeGoods. These stores are fabulous because of their price tags. 

Before you pull the trigger on a $$$ expensive sofa, humor me and quickly search for a comparable. You may be pleasantly surprised with what you find!

Thanks for stopping by.
