NOPE! Way to lure me in with your discounted blenders and then leave me hanging, Amazon.Īt this point we had been living without anywhere soft to sit for almost 2 months so I bit the bullet and purchased the Amazon sofa. The planets didn’t align on that front, but Amazon Prime Day was coming up and I was hoping their sofas would go on sale. I also spent a fair bit of time on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist looking for a used sofa that didn’t look like it had been through an apocalypse. Amazon can deliver an in-stock sofa in about a week. That meant I needed to find a sofa that was not quite so budget-busting and able to be delivered relatively soon. It should be noted that many retailers carry versions of their sofas that can be delivered in 2 – 4 weeks. We also had zero soft surfaces to sit on besides our beds when we moved home, so waiting three months for a sofa to be built and delivered was also not ideal. However, we had just made a costly international move back home to the United States and dropping thousands of dollars on a sofa was not in the budget. My first choice was a sofa from either Article (most similar in price and features), West Elm (more expensive) or Pottery Barn (more expensive). The Amazon Rivet Andrews Leather Sofa was not my first choice. How We Over-Thought Made Our Purchase Decision

This is not a sponsored post, but I do participate in the Amazon Associates program. We purchased Amazon’s Rivet Andrews Leather Sofa in July 2018 and have lived with it long enough (over 6 months) to feel comfortable sharing our experience. Spending a ton of money on a sofa you bought online and NEVER SAT ON is the stuff of nightmares. Spending a ton of money on a sofa is worrisome.
