Go with the red and gold


The amount of fugly couches still being produced is quite astounding, such as this red and gold number.
Just yesterday I was shopping for a bed with my mates Frank and Elaine - took them to the den of blandness that is Harvey Norman, aka Ikea without the Swedish meatballs. They were looking for a bed and you can do worse than Harvey Norman (but we did better at Forty Winks - my ability to find a bargain was once again affirmed, F&E were so impressed with the groundwork I'd done recently for my own bed purchase they're now hoping I may need to buy a car or computer in the next few weeks).
Anyways, was left rather speechless as I walked in the door and saw a rather hideous purple faux-suede number. Unfortunately no pics available. But it's quite shocking, really, that a place that should be selling middle-of-the road, inoffensive furniture would bother stocking such fugliness. And at a cost of about $3000. That's just shite.

Well, you will go to Hardly Normal.
I know mum knows of a really good place on Church St Richmond that might be of good use, and it's not Ikea.

I love the Hardly Normal, Chris, never heard that one before!
Frank and Elaine are well and truly sorted for a bed, and I am in serious awe of my own ability to get a bargain. Got them a $4000 full latex king size bed for $2300, which was $400 off the On Sale price on the floor, plus free delivery, because the saleslady remembered me from buying my bed a few weeks ago. Jealous, bc I didn't manage such a good deal for myself, even!
Is the place you're talking about a potential for fugly couches?

I agree, Karen, there is simply nothing right about this fugly number.

No, there are only good couches to be had there unfortunately.
