Of course my best recommendation for buying inexpensive but better quality furniture is to go the used/vintage route (Craigslist, KrrbLA, flea market) plus it's better for the earth. A $399 sofa does provoke the question 'How is that possible???' and I'm really scared of the answer.
But you know what always irritates me is when rich pretentious fashion editors advise us that we should simply save and 'invest' in that perfect $600 blazer or $1200 pair of boots that will last for 6 generations. It's like obviously, that is a good idea, if you have that kinda cash lying around in your walk-in Lisa Vanderpump closet. I remember being so broke in my 20's that every time I read that in a magazine I would scream, YOU ARE RICH AND YOU PROBABLY GOT THOSE BEAUTIFUL 'INVESTMENT' CHLOE BOOTS FOR FREE!!!!! For us normal people when it's Friday afternoon and you have fun plans to go out that night and you have $450 in your bank account, a trip to Forever 21 to buy a fun top whose hem will probably rip out within weeks, just makes you so happy. Same with your home — when you don't have an extra $2-4k to drop on that awesome sofa, sometimes just having a new, simple, inexpensive one will make you so much happier when you walk through that door. Then when you get rich you can buy this one (for me).
