I bought a $500 couch from Big Lots and it’s falling apart. However, the purchase was more than 6 years ago, and it has sustained what I’d describe as heavy use (e.g. both kids jumping on it, son who’s a large kid usually parking on one end).
We moved away over 14 years ago, and for many years we told others about how we’d move back, someday. Now with El Azteca (and the Airport Blvd. Tamale House) gone, I am not so sure…
(Edited to clarify (maybe) which reply went to whom)
I haven’t bought any furniture there (other than an office chair) but my experience with their various household items has been hit-and-miss. Tableware? Can’t really hurt it without great effort. Glassware? Oops, my fault. But I had a baking dish that split in two, in my hands, as I pulled it from the oven.
I’ve seen other people’s Ikea couches leaning to one side because one leg had collapsed underneath. However, for all I know this was assembly error (granted, that damned ẙğğsfriğğsdütti can be a bear to put together).
Yeah, I wondered about that… I guess they don’t sell the EU meatballs in America, either, but I’m not sure that makes the American ones better…
I didn’t think the 1960 model was so bad…
