As the centerpiece of a living space, the sofa typically sees high use and is a purchase you aren't likely to be making again soon — hopefully. As such, how much should you spend to buy a sofa or couch? And, equally importantly, what quality level can you expect for your money?
The price for a good sofa can range from $500 to $5,000 and up, but how much you spend depends on how long you want your buy to last, retain its comfort level, and look good. In other words, quality counts as much as the price tag does. (Though it's important to note that the best sofas aren't always the ones that cost the most.)
