Hence why my current couch looks like shit and I refuse to replac the furniture I don't actually sit on... It's there for visuals only.

Also the reason why I refuse to step foot into Ikea. If your furniture needs to be supported by the house/walls be bolting it in, it's not worth a thing to me. Their stuff is so rickety and garbage it's surreal people even shop there

They shop there because it is cheap.

Exactly... And it's a trap by design. Low quality = constant spending and waste.
