Also, what are the Pit's opinions on furniture from Ikea for a married couple with no kids? My hang-up with our living room is that we only have a recliner and loveseat. We don't have people over that often, but when people visit I hate the fact that I don't feel like they can relax...pulling up chairs from the kitchen table isn't really the same thing. I'm thinking about buying some affordable furniture, maybe something like this with some one-pieces we can move around:
i'm personally about to buy some ikea furniture myself. i don't personally see anything wrong with it. that said, go to ikea and sit on the couches/chairs before buying anything. lots of them are REALLY uncomfortable.
