Wouldn’t think it’s a good value. If you save for a few more weeks you can find a decent futon at Walmart in the $95 range (here in Canada, anyhow). We just bought one today for our family room. It’s what you’d expect for the price, but it should take a couple of years of teenagers flopping on it, so that’s okay.
Yeah, sometimes thrid-party sellers will offer it for a bit less than Amazon itself. This is usually a good deal if it’s “Fulfilled by Amazon” but if it isn’t you could run into trouble.
I’ve bought a ton of stuff on Amazon.com over the years, often from third party sellers. I’ve only ran into problems once when a seller didn’t send a textbook to me for over a month. I complained to Amazon.com and they cancelled my order for me.
Me too, I really like Amazon. I’ve had a couple of problems but Amazon always fixed them and usually compensated me for the trouble. If they were only tax-free.
You can get shipping for free sometimes. There is also some club or deal from an entirely different party that you can subscribe to for a fee and it will give you discounts on postage and shipping. I think their coverage extends to other sites besides Amazon.com. Have you heard of this?
pob, I kinda doubt that the manufacturer would make the product that way. It’s main purpose is to be sat on, I doubt they would design a couch that you would slip off of.
Well if they both cost $59.00 I would pick the Futon. It’s just fancier and more stylish. I’ve slept on Futons before. I think it would be better for sleeping on then the inflatable couch. But could you even afford $239.00?
Maybe. But I’ve bought stuff that didn’t work right. I bought 3 alarm clocks with the bells on top (different brands) that quit running the first weeks. They weren’t inexpensive; they were ** cheap.**
BakedBeans, I have a chair like this in my livingroom, that I bought at Walgreens in the spring. It’s very comfortable + sturdy + plenty big for me at 190 lbs. Different ones sit slightly differently. This one looks like mine, but I can’t say.
If you like one, you could get another, for whoever or a different view.
