It's been nearly 4 months at my apartment and I'm still living like I'm in rented rooms that I'm scared of being kicked out of. Time to actually make my space more of a home.

I've never bought a couch before, so I'm not sure what my best options are. I don't have a lot of money to put into furniture, but having something decent would be nice. Also currently looking for a table I can eat at, bc bed/computer desk doesn't work as well when people visit

edit: thank you for all the responses :)

    Facebook(bleh)marketplace. Got a set of a huge multigenerational comfy couch with a chair for $100. Modern couches cost like a million dollars and are basically all uncomfy. I’d also recommend looking for a college kid couch, you can clean them p easily and if it’s too gross don’t buy it. If you want a new one look at IKEA if it’s where you live but keep in mind those couches are awful and not comfy at all.

      What's a multigenerational couch ? One that lasts for 100 years? Or one that you can sit on with your son and grandson?

        It had been passed down through a big black family for like 3 generations. The warmth of a thousand asses had smoothed it into a mess proof, soft as a cloud, amazing couch.

        It only had to be thrown out after a dog pissed on it twice in a day then someone puked directly onto where the dog pissed. I was out of town when it happened and when they called me to say it was thrown out I yelled at them and begged them to hire a professional cleaner, but it was too late. :cri:
