Hold the newsreader's nose squarely, waiter, or friendly milk will countermand my trousers.

Really? I mean, at that price point, I could basically only get an eminently hideous couch off Craigslist or a bonded (fake, basically) leather IKEA one. Would be happy to take suggestions on other couches under $1000 tho.

You do realize that they make this fantastic stuff called upholstery, and you can get a FREE couch off of craigslist, and spend $150 to get it reupholstered however the gently caress you want. Leather couches are never really worth it because they're hot as balls in the summer -bonded leather doubly so, so unless you want to be throwing money away at running the A/C on a nice (IE 75 or so degree) day, they scuff/scratch really easily, and if you gently caress up the leather, it's not nearly as cheap/easy to get it fixed as upholstery is.

Seriously, you can literally pick a swatch of any loving thing you want, and an upholstory place can redo an entire couch in it for WAY WAY WAY less than a grand. You can have a completely custom couch for less than a third of a fake leather couch, and you have the added benefit of knowing that if you have a guest over who keeps their keys clipped to their belt/has a studded belt/is wearing jewelery/etc that it's not going to ruin your hideously overpriced couch by putting a gouge in it, your rear end is not going to stick to it if you sit on it in shorts, and did I mention that you can get it custom done for less than a third of that?
