Good value at <$600 when it bought it, would not support N pricing manipulation at ~$950
I bought this in April 2020 for just under $500. For that price, it’s a great couch, and I would buy it again or the loveseat or the chair. However, since that time the price has about doubled to near $950 depending on the day. At that price, and with the loveseat near that price point and the chair closer to $600 than $500, I would not buy again. I am very price conscious, very value conscious, and this couch is great. If I had to, I would buy it again at this current price, but I also can’t imagine being forced into a situation where I would *need* to. If this couch were irrevocably ruined, I’d first see if it could be reupholstered by a local business before buying again. Because of the price. If it were abjectly destroyed, I would consider it if the market at that time considered this price to performance ratio to be acceptable. What I mean by that is that if I shopped around and saw what the other price points were on similar items, to how comfortable they were, if another was equal in comfort but better in price, I’d go that direction. If this was the best option at the time, I’d do it again, but I wouldn’t like that such was the situation.
I’m really unsure as to why the price has skyrocketed, and I’m assuming it has to do with shipping costs and $-per cubic foot earned by when packing a truck. This isn’t really acceptable to me. The pricing tactic isn’t really acceptable to me, to almost double the price over the course of 7-ish months and the time of writing.
I have been working from home and using this couch for many hours daily. It wears well, lumbar support is required for longer sessions on it, and it was very easy to put together, etc. However, the pricing model is using is not acceptable to me. I would rather go with a couple more expensive chairs or couch from another vendor than support this pricing manipulation.
