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 :)

    For new couches:

    If your price point is below $600 then Ikea, if not then go to local furniture stores and ask about their clearance couches with steel frames - lot of them are ugly as shit - but you can always cover the fabric up with a couch cover. Steel frame couches you can pass down to your grandchildren.

    A low priced Ikea couch that is not a futon will last 4-5+ years with daily use. So about $100 a year.
