P.S. Need I mention that it would go perfectly, size-wise, in my study??? But not right for me.

DH should be real dang glad that that wouldn't fit in this house. REAL dang glad, because budget or no budget I'd be over there with checkbook in hand. That is an excellent price for a near-new H&M couch - and I'll bet you a buck I can name the store they bought it from which is ex-pen-sive and rarely does anything as gauche as have a sale - and I love that boxy "English-library" Chesterfield style. Just not for this house... (Interesting how nice it looks combined with the Ikea Billy bookcases, no? Anyone else notice those?)

*wipes drool off chin*

If anyone is interested but would have to make a trek for it, I run "ovah to Dovah" pretty regularly (couple of times a week on average, it's maybe 15 minutes on a bad traffic day so it's no biggie!) and would be willing to go take a gander at it. And I promise I won't fondle it... TOO much. ;-)

Gawd, don't tempt me, and don't drool on 'my' sofa!

Ever since I saw this, I have been wishing I had my Christmas Club money early - to spend all on me! I wish it was a bit longer - it's sort of between love seat and sofa size. I tried to find an online list of H&M dealers to see what it goes for new, but no luck. I know of Currier's and almost called them, but thankfully got involved in stripping the paint off my front door instead!

IF you happen to run into it...report back to us, will ya?

Oh, and don't forget: That's just the asking price. :)

If it didn't mean shipping it across the country, it would be mine-mine, mine-mine-mine, right this very now.

That was my Daffy Duck impersonation, by the way. Bet you all didn't know i was a happy miser!

LOVE that sofa! All the way to Texas ------- if I had the truck and the gas money ....... sigh .......

Jan (who already has the Billy bookshelves to go with it ......)

sigh ........

my3dogs, it's called an "apartment size" couch.

If you do end up shopping retail for leather furniture, DEFINITELY hit Curriers!! (They don't sell H&M though.) We bought a Bradington-Young couch and chair/ottoman there in 2002 when we were riding the gravy train for a bit and absolutely loved working with them - Jan Currier, the owner's wife, spent hours with us and was just wonderful. They have a (literal) bargain basement that often has some pretty good stuff along with the inevitable "what were they thinking???" items. (The last time I was there there was a burnt-orange Buddha-belly sectional that had to have been at least ten feet long on each side - with two ginormous matching recliners! DH and I both nearly wet ourselves laughing. Jan said it had been a special order that the customer had never finished paying for and so it had been sitting there for years. I wonder if they ever unloaded it.) Their prices beat the pants off anywhere else in the Seacoast, too.

Sorry, OSH, you won't be able to live vicariously through me on this one... it's waaaaaay too formal for this house, even if I had anywhere to put it! ("Your" couch is going in the kitchen sitting area once the LR sectional arrives, and then we'll be overloaded on the "big furniture" - I'll be getting rid of a couple of pieces. BTW, DH still calls you "the couch lady" and asks how you're doing every so often. :-))

I can't wait to see pics of your new sectional.

"The couch lady"??? Ouch. :)

Oh - Now I recall calling Currier's when I saw a set of CL leather sofas by BY. A man in Ogunquit was selling them as he was moving south. You could buy one or the pair. They were slightly curved, and quite deep. My 'furniture store' sister talked me out of them due to the depth, and my bowling alley living room.

Anyone know what this would retail for? OSH,I'm surprised you aren't on their door step, since it's the perfect size for your den, and you've been thinking about doing something to your couch! Fate had you find that listing!

Oh no....I just measured the outside width of my sofa, and this HM one is only a few inches shorter....The inside measurement on mine is longer, but... MUST forget this and go strip the front door. Keep repeating that....
