Talk to me about Bob's couches

I've had an Ikea couch for years now and recently the springs have popped out so the couch is dipping and the springs are hitting the floor so needless to say, I need a new couch and saw that Bob's was pretty cheap but I'm not sure if it's "too cheap" meaning that it will bust just like this Ikea couch

We have had our Bobs couches for over 2 years now with no issues...we love them! Our bedroom set is also from Bobs and made really well. I love Bobs! You cant beat their prices

Re: Talk to me about Bob's couches

BIL got his entire living room set from Bob's and loved it. It's about 2 years old now and still no issues- in great condition. We're actually thinking about going this weekend to check 'em out.

Re: Talk to me about Bob's couches

My parent's Bob's couch is microfiber--and after about 2 yrs it has started pilling inbetween the cushions. They've called to complain many times and got nowhere.

We have a couch and loveseat from Bob's. We bought them about 3-4 years agao and they are holding up great. We did get them protected from spills and stuff and that really helped. DH and DD spill everything on those couches.

We bought the "Patriot" couch and loveseat in 2008. It was on their cheaper end...and therefore, is holding up just ok. The cushions seem pretty flat (which DH hates) and the pillows are fraying. DH cannot wait to get a house so we can get new couches lol.

My friend bought a new couch from them and it only lasted 1 year before you could feel like a bar or something through the cushion.

It reminded me of the futons in college!

It was a microfiber sectional sofa. Purchased in 09.

Re: Talk to me about Bob's couches

I have a loveseat from Bob's and I hate it. In less than a year, the frame started to bow out and the cushions sank way down. I don't think I would ever buy from them again.

Re: Talk to me about Bob's couches

We have 2 sets. One that we barely use and the cushions are fine. The other we use daily and they are starting to sink. They definitely aren't as fluffy as they were when we bought them. We have a lot of furniture from Bob's. Our couches will be 3 years old at the end of August.

I have to agree with the pp...I've had my couches for two yrs and the one we use the most is starting to sink. Other than that my couches are great as is the other furniture I have from them.

We have had our leather couch and loveseat for about 3 years now with no issues. They're actually super comfy!

Re: Talk to me about Bob's couches

When we were there we noticed if we put our hands on the arm of the sofa and used that to support getting up the whole arm of the sofa would move 2-3 inches. Maybe it was just because it was on the floor and heavily used, but I wasn't about to risk it. It wasn't *that* cheap that I'd want to throw it away after a year so we went to Lay-z-boy instead.
