My microsuede chair doesn't catch cat hair, but mine are shorthairs. I've sworn off cheap couches since my last one got its frame broken. I have this couch now: [link] which is a corduroy-like microfiber that is also resistant to our shorthairs -- I don't even think they can get scratches on it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, my old couch has a similar fabric from what I can tell and while it did pick up hair it basically wiped off with a sweep of your hand. It's a sofa bed from Jennifer, and oh so comfy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Did I tell you guys about how when I asked at Jennifer about getting one of their loveseats in a different color, they said it would take 12-16 weeks??!?! I had no idear.

Fuck. I just folded to being bank-of-sara again. When I can and can't afford it. (Budget=shot. Bank account=NSM.)

Our wings are not tired.
I have sort of expensive taste, but I don't mind other people owning stuff before me. I've pretty much purchased everything for my two bedroom on Craigslist, the majority of it being from Crate and Barrel. I'd like a new couch, and look at Craigslist daily for exactly what I want. The hard part is lining up a way to get it home, especially since I don't have anyone close who can help move it into my house even if I can get it home.
Yes, it is. That's its biggest drawback, IMO.
Chikat, if I do the fix that's recommended, and it works, I'll email you the info. It involves filling in the gussets with 5/16s clear tubing from the hardware store. And the other thing that causes so much of the noise is an apparently hollow casing for the sidemirrors. That can be filled with either putty or foam insulation.

Tep, we got our leather couch for $110 on Craig's List. It's served us well for the last almost 5 years. (Holy crap, my kid will be FIVE SOON. We got the couch when I was pregnant.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay Tom for the fun evening. Fun is good.
Kat, I really liked Where the Wild Things Are. I know this sounds like a strange thing to say of a movie where most of the cast are CGI monsters, but I found it very human.
DH says James Gandolfini was miscast. My biggest gripe was that his monster was named Carol, not Moishe.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I do have access to a truck. And I can probs find cheap labor, if it comes to that. (Ask megan!)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah put me in the expensive tastes but don`t mind used category. Our thrift store living room set was $200 for all three pieces and lasted over six years. When we moved here though, we bought an expensive modern leather couch which looks awesome but is not utterly comfy. It stood up to the dog but not cat. I use discount shopping not to buy cheap things but to buy expensive things for normal thing prices.
