Long wait to get living room furniture

Tweet

We made many trips to different stores looking for living room furniture. We found something we loved that was made in Italy and wanted to get it but it was very expensive. For two couches it would be somewhere between $14,000 and $20,000. No way could we afford that, so that was out. Went to La-Z-Boy and what we seemed to like was over $14,000 as they'd have to make it. I didn't want to spend that much money, nor did I love the furniture or find it very comfortable, so we didn't buy it. Then my mom suggested we go to Bloomingdale's and that's where we ended up getting our living room furniture. We got two three-seater couches. One has reclining seats and the other does not. The furniture is from an Italian company (Giuseppe Nicoletti) and it is made in Italy. It is great quality and very comfortable to sit on. Plus, the back is high which is good for us. No need to adjust anything. Bloomingdale's had a 48% sale on the Grazia model we loved. With tax and a five-year warranty the total came out to a little over $5000. By opening the Bloomingdale's credit card we will get $250 statement credit once the furniture is delivered. I originally didn't want to get the warranty ($459) but my mom suggested I get it mainly because of the recliners. The sales guy said that if we do not use the warranty in those five years we can file a claim and that money will be refunded to us. It will be in the form of a voucher to use at the furniture department. I'd have preferred actually to get money back but I will take this over getting nothing. The reclining couch is in production but the other one is a special order. And the factory is closed in August. Because of all this it will be a 5-6 month wait. Our furniture most likely will arrive in 2025. Hopefully, in the beginning of the year. Maybe the reclining couch will come faster as it's already in production. Fingers crossed on that. For the time being we have to figure out what we will sit on until the furniture comes. Can't stay at my mom's house until it arrives. We've already been here since the second week of June. And we have to break in the new mattress we just bought, which means we gotta go home. But I don't want to do that if we have nothing to sit on and no dining table and chairs.
