My boyfriend and I have looked all over Glenwood and at the flea market for a sofa. We want a black one and it seems that no one makes them in that color except in leather. We are willing to pay more if we find one we like...anyone know of any hidden hot spots? Thanks.

why would you want a black sofa

god damn emo people

4/2/2006 6:17:19 PM

theres a nice furniture place at the corner of tryon and cary parkway that had some nice sofa's... and then Ethan Allen is always the expensive option... most places can also order any color fabric on the basic frame and style that they have in the store...

4/2/2006 6:23:20 PM

probably aren't going to find too many black sofa floating around
i dont think i've ever seen one that wasn't leather

4/2/2006 6:24:13 PM

Yes, god damn people that want a black sofa so it won't show stains and will go with any decor.

PS-Emo people listen to emo and dye their hair black.

Unless you're going for a specific style, you could probably find a sofa cover in black.

4/2/2006 6:52:05 PM

you've probably looked but craigslist raleigh has a lot of sofas. It just takes time + patience.

My boyfriend looked sectionals for about three weeks and then finally found the perfect one for his place.

4/2/2006 6:57:40 PM

Looked at Craig's List...I will keep checking back there. We currently have a sofa with a slip cover on it and my boyfriend can't stand it, therefore we are trying to find a new one.

you know... love stains show up much more prominently on black... or dark fabrics in general...

No animals and no bodily fluids, so I think we're good. Tan is just so hideous, but if we can't find black at all I guess we'll have to get that. I'll check out that furniture emporium.

4/3/2006 8:11:42 AM

there is a green sofa sitting next to the dumpster in my parking lot

4/3/2006 8:54:56 AM

Done andnndndndndddd done

i have a sectional for sale, it is rather big, but it is a beige color not black


very nice though and only 2 years old

4/3/2006 9:45:25 AM

you can go to pretty much any furniture store and order whatever they have on the showroom in a variety of fabrics and colors for pretty much the same price they have listed. just ask to see their fabric swatches.

4/3/2006 9:45:50 AM

coopers furniture

have you looked at any of the large department stores? i'm sure ive seen several black microfiber sets lately.

4/3/2006 10:25:11 AM

i've been looking for one too, only thing I can ever find is leather

You could try Furniture Liquidation Warehouse.... you're never guaranteed to find anything, but maybe worth a shot if you've haven't found anything elsewhere. Also, not sure what style you're looking for... but IKEA had lots of different black and dark grey couches on their website. They don't look awfully comfortable, but who knows. But I will vouch that a tan based color will hide your stains infinitely better than black... black will highlight any pet hair, fuzz, lint, and stains... I wouldn't recommend it (although if I were getting leather I would definitely go black or dark brown)

4/3/2006 11:14:17 AM

I would try Carolina Sofa Company on Glenwood. I know that you said that you already looked on Glenwood, but I just got a really awesome sectional there and most of the furniture they sell can be covered in a multitude of colors and types of fabric. They have these little sheets with blocks of fabric on them to show you all of your choices.

4/3/2006 11:19:29 AM

There is a furniture store on Glenwood. I think its called home comfort. it is right after you pass pleasant valley and walmart. They told us that they can order most of the sofas in different colors and fabric.

4/3/2006 11:38:25 AM

did you move in with another boyfriend already?

4/3/2006 11:46:55 AM

^ha, someone got called out

4/3/2006 11:56:52 AM

Yeah, I moved in with him after dating for a year

4/3/2006 12:04:50 PM

what do your parents think about moving in with all these different boyfriends?

4/3/2006 4:46:49 PM

try checking http://raleigh.craigslist.org/fur/ daily-- you can find some sweet moving sales on there.. I got a $2000 leather loveseat and couch set for like half the price because i picked it up in a hurry.(ah the benefits of having a pick up truck)

4/3/2006 4:51:07 PM

I keep checking Craig's list every so often.

^And seeing as I've only dated 4 people in my life and the last one for 5 years, I don't think they are too worried about my judgement. Now if I were dating a prick like you, they'd probably have a problem with that.

i know you said you weren't looking for leather, but these look pretty nice
