sofa and love seat

just have to brag a little bit here.

i'm always hearing about how this person got a great deal on this or that and wondering when it would be my turn to get in on something so wonderful. today was that day.

the girlfriends mom works at a freight shipping company. they had a truck that was delivering a load of steinhafel living room furniture...leather sofas, love seats, sleeper sofas, chairs, ottomans, day beds...you get the idea. well the wholesaler opened the trailer and smelled smoke and they rejected the entire shipment. the didn't even bother to open up the plastic on the furniture. open up the plastic...no smell at all...sooo...

the owner of the trucking company is getting the shipment covered under insurance and the insurance company let him keep the load. so he figured he would sell the load at 1/2 of 1/2 of list price...just enough so that he could cover the fuel cost of the shipping.

at any rate. the girlfriends mom knows that i'm looking to furnish our apartment and she told us that there were some great deals to be had and to come out before it was all gone.

we get out there and take a look around. we decide on a black leather sofa and a tan suede love seat...throw pillows included. the leather sofa listed out at around $1200...we got it for $115. the love seat lists out for somewhere around $900...we got it for $104. the girlfriend and i are completely stoked about it. i was kinda hoping for a sleeper sofa...but we decided on the leather one instead. had we gone for the sleeper sofa we could have gotten a queen size sleeper sofa for $182.

like i say...just had to share and brag a lil bit.

i'm always hearing from customers at work "i got that car/truck for free/$50/$100 and it runs great..." so finally it's my turn.

That's what I would call a screamin' deal. We dropped a damn boatload of cash on our new living room furniture last year. I may have sat on each piece 5-6 times since we bought it. It's really for looking at -- not sitting. Tell the g/f it's time to break in the new furniture...
