Furniture stores with city-sized sofas?

[catskillz.livejournal.com]

I live in an apartment, and I'd like to buy a sofa that can seat three (i.e. not a loveseat - this sofa's for napping).

Are there good furniture shops around here where I can buy a city-apartment-sized sofa (80" long or less) for less than $1000? Bonus if they deliver. I'd like to check it out in person - otherwise I'd just order from online somewhere.

(I bought one from Jordan's Furniture, but it was too big to fit through my apartment door, and all of their other sofas are similarly too big. I also looked at Circle Furniture's website but wow, they're a bit expensive.)

Try Jennifer Convertibles - I was able to get a sofa bed that is only 36 inches wide for about $800. It's comfortable, and stylish. The do deliver, too. I went to the one on Boylston, but I think there's one near Porter? You should try bostoninteriors.com, too. I know a few people who have found great couches there.

Yep, it's on Somerville Avenue in Porter Square.

There's one in the Porter Exchange (next to the Anna's).

I second Jennifer Convertibles. I got a really decent sofabed that I believe is 72 inches long for about $800. It's right in Porter across from the t-stop.

I hadn't thought about them - thanks for the tip! For some reason I thought they offered only leather, but looking at their website it seems like their selection is a lot larger. Yay!

Jennifer Convertibles has a history of delivering things months late, and often of delivering furniture of quality far below that which they show in their stores. Lots of sites have info on this - do a quick search: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/furniture/jennifer.html

I did a significant amount of research, including on consumeraffairs, before I bought my sofa bed in 2004. I specifically asked the sales person about the lawsuits, etc, and she explained that they were working hard to improve the situation. Consumaffairs is a great site, but if I didn't buy anything from the companies listed, I wouldn't have anywhere to shop :)
