I've been getting a lot of emails and comments lately asking if I'm pleased with my Ikea sofa that I bought last March. It's been 4 months and I still love it! I've washed the slipcovers numerous times and they look the same now as they did when I first bought them. I'm glad that I bought an extra set of slipcovers because you can't put them in the dryer and they take a least a day to air dry.

I'm still amazed at the quality of this sofa for the price. It's only $399 and the extra set of slipcovers is only $49.
If I had room I would buy the matching love seat but I think it would be too large for my room. I am considering buying a chair though. I have wicker chairs in my living room now and they really aren't that comfortable so I would like to replace one of them, maybe with one of these:

This chair above is $249 in white but if you want it in pink it's $349! I'm not sure why pink costs $100 more??? Pink wouldn't look right in my place so it doesn't really matter to me. I wish they had it in light blue though.

This chair above is only $199.

Which chair do you like better?

Don't forget, I'll be hosting my monthly giveaway party on Monday! I'll have Mr. Linky up sometime Sunday evening if you want to join in and have a giveaway on your blog.

I like the loose cushion chair better. It looks roomier and more comfortable. It looks more expensive, also. The slip cover is such a nice thing to have. Keeps things clean and spills are not a big tragedy!
Have a good week end, Cindy

I like the first chair better. It looks much more comfortable and expensive. I think you'll be happy with it!

I bet your excited to get a chair- It will make everything look just a little bit different. I think what ever chair you pick will look great. I have two wing-back chairs and I like them because of the height it gives. So you might what to consider that if you need some height in an area. I myself don't like everything at one level.

Take Care-

Hi Cindy,
I have the second chair you showed, I bought it cause whenever I have one of those larger chairs it always seems harder to fit in to small spaces, the little one you can tuck in anywhere I have even put it in my dining rm, now the downside, it isn't that comfy it's ok to sit in but to curl up and read a book in not so much but I do like the size of it and it should be more comfy than the wicker(;

Cindy, I am glad to hear that you love your EKTORP sofa. I wish I had bought that instead of the sofa I did buy eight years ago. My favorite chair is the EKTORP chair. I would LoVe to have that chair. Maybe some day. I hear an IKEA is coming to Winnipeg in the next year some time!!! I am doing a happy dance! Hugs, ~cindy s~ PS Thank you for commenting on my blog. Funny, my little sister is named Susan. I had to laugh when I saw your comment. Cute!

If you are limited on space, the second chair gives the appearance of a small scale. Of course, it might not be, but it looks smaller.

But, putting all of that aside, I like the first chair the best.

Now, I am laughing at my decisiveness.

I like the first chair and it matches your sofa. To me, it looks more comfortable than the second. I wish we had an Ikea here in Arkansas because I've heard great things about it.

I think you should go for the first chair. It looks far more comfortable. You'll never regret it. I'd rather have a cozy chair any day.

Isn't our weather just beautiful ?????

Hi Miss Cindy,

For the $50 difference, I think you should get the one you absolutely love. First one looks almost like a chair and a half.... and very comfortable. Second chair looks more sleek and tailored... but still comfy. You must choose, grasshopper! :) Have fun deciding. Does't IKEA deliver? Is shipping reasonable?
And... a pink chair? Hmmmm... very strange. Hugs, Penny Sue
