Yay? I just bought an as-is Klippan sofa with black cover for only $300 - though I'm paying them $80 to have it delivered. I could have gotten it between 5 and 10 tonight, but I asked for between 4 and 8 tomorrow. Huh. Wish I had a friend with a truck, as we all do that once every 6 months to 2 years we want to move something.

I am not paying them an extra $60 to carry it up the stairs, so I could use a strong volunteer to help me lug it up the stairs. I pray to whatever that it fits in my apt door! Then...to heave off the old couch.
Hmm...if it doesn't fit around that wall in front of the door, I do have a new stanley fatmax extreme 20 oz version that I could use to discuss my disagreement with the wall

Anyone around Rosslyn, VA, tomorrow evening-ish?

I didn't know that! I checked the rental cars they noted at Ikea and they were $40 / hr, $50 day. I know you can get a u-haul for $20 - 30 plus mileage, that always is over $50. For taht I figured close enough. Plus...$560 retail couch (when cover counted) at my house for 380...still pretty sweet.

Good to know for the future though - I'll have to ditch the old one. Wonder if Murky can still take it.

You should get in touch with [livejournal.com profile] jukebox_heroine, she works with a charity that is currently looking for misc. furniture and stuff. I'd link to her post about it, but it seems to be locked...

You can also freecycle the old sofa. Should be a yahoo!group for NoVa.
