When I moved back to Kansas City I trekked out to the store that once had Nebraska in its name. Disneyland can easily fit inside the living room furniture department, and once you find the couch of your dreams, you better start laying out bread crumbs, because once you walk away from it, you'll never find it again. I don't know if the couch I bought is actually the one I liked, but it matches my cat, so there's that.
This one made me laugh. My living room is too small for a sofa so I have two recliners and a Boston rocker instead. I hate buying furniture so much that I all but shut my eyes and point in the store just so I can get the hell out. 😂 I feel you, brother.
Furniture is crazy expensive and the more information I got the more confusing it became. So I eventually went with the mid-priced sofa and will spend the next 17 years hoping I got my money's worth. It was an interesting experience that seemed worth an essay. Glad you like it.
Good for you! Been there; done that almost exactly earlier this year. I, too, need a straight arm 88" sofa to lie down on, but the arms have to be high enough to be used as a back rest and it has to include at least one pillow for support when I'm doing that. To that add the fact that it needs to be cat-proof (we bought because half the stuffing was on the floor), so $3,000 sofa here we come. Therefore it darn well better outlast us unto the third generation (my daughter only gets her inheritance if she also takes the sofa (plus the 4'tall spiky skin-shredding plant that's already been passed unto the 3rd generation (me). I have a photo from 1946 that includes the damn plant, but that's a story for another day...)
I can’t believe I watched a flexsteel video. “ You can pound on it and you can pound on…”. I find your embedded videos irresistible and rarely disappointing
There used to be a furniture store around me called Art Van. Your picture is exactly how I remember it looked. Self assembly is a huge pain in the keister. Parts missing, screw holes missing, directions using unearthly logic 😢 😕 😞 😔 😒 😪 😢 😕.
I found her months ago and I hadn't selected an image. I decided she was a perfect fit for my inner angst. I'm pissed off 😤 about women's rights, especially related to abortion. Also pissed off with MAGA, Project 2025, being nuked, rapists and related maniacs, the climate, a new pandemic, glp-1 antagonists, the idiot Kennedy tarnishing the family name. The usual stuff. Anyway, I remember some German word off to the side of the picture, so, she might be German?

I'm with you on all those bird worthy subjects. Ha!
Hey Jen. The picture is a German sit-com actress from the show called Knallerfraen. Now if I could only figure out where I put the picture 😬
The picture in reference is the top one.
If I recall correctly that picture was taken in Living Spaces.
