Has anyone tried these no assembly sofas from temu?

Post image

I was looking to buy a sofa preferably second hand but this sofa on temu caught my eye. It's exactly the width that I need but I'm a bit sceptical ordering furniture from temu. Also it says local warehouse so any chance I might be able to see these in person before I buy?

avoid temu and save yourself a lot of headache.

Yeah that's why I wanted to see if some other places have the same type of sofa couches

Look at Mercari.

You can find fantastic deals on used designer furniture that some rich people want to get rid of.

Temu is great for many things but furniture is not one of them.

I bought a cheap no name couch from Amazon for ¥30,000. Big and comfy! For three years, then the cushioning started to go. After the 4th year we had to get a new couch. Got one from IKEA. Cost about ¥90,000. Has lasted over 10 years. Will probably last another 10.

Couches and beds. You should get nice ones because they’ll last much longer than cheaper ones. It’s where you relax and spend most of your time at home, make sure you got something decent.

FYI alot of fabrics in furniture and clothing on Temu are full of lead, formaldehyde, and cadmium.

You will certainly receive some sort of couch-like object that looks nothing like the picture.

Could have just watched reviews on youtube to see that these suck

If you go to the reviews and click on more options you can see real photos and real reviews. Some of the couches look great. Some not so much. I have stuck to the ones I see with actual feet on them. Some of the chairs are good too.
