  Looking for good quality furniture

  Room & Board is legit but yeah those prices hurt to look at lol. Facebook marketplace is where it's at though - found some insane West Elm and CB2 pieces for like 30% of retail. Just gotta be patient and check daily

  What has consistently been the highest rated sofa/sectional?

  I have the lounge II leather. I chose a custom leather - from a different CB sofa line that was made in the same factory. They told me the sofa came from Brazil.

  Advice: buying furniture (daybed) online

  a decade ago i used a formula where the couch price divided by $100 = the years it will last. a $300 couch will last you three years before the cushions start wearing, fabric seams might start busting and the joints start to wobble. these days, it’s more like $300/yr. also, moving the couch will quickly shorten its lifespan, so take a year off for every time you move / disassemble it. you can beat this formula by buying higher quality furniture used. but options and styles will be a bit more limited. unless you plan to move / sell it in a couple years, i would highly recommend adding $500+ to your budget, just to get something that will last. it is wild what couches cost these days, but realize anything under $1000 new is junk. *do not buy from Wayfair,* as they are a step or two below even Ikea. Ikea makes some decent stuff. but it too will start to fall apart in a few years. look for used West Elm, Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel and their modern line CB2. each of these used to make high quality furniture but have fallen from grace in the last decade. there is still good stuff to be found, but just make sure it’s built from solid wood (pine is ok, oak is better) and held together by traditional joinery / bolts, not some quick assembly / proprietary system.
