You’ve seen the ads: “Entire living room for $799!” It feels like a win… until year three when the cushions are flat, the fabric is pilling, and the frame is literally creaking every time you sit down. At Anna Goods in Denver, we’ve heard the same story hundreds of times: “I wish I’d just bought the good one the first time.”
Let’s do the actual math.
Year 0 Fast-furniture sofa: $799 + $199 delivery = $998 Anna Goods solid-hardwood sofa: $2,200 (free white-glove delivery)
Year 3 Fast-furniture sofa is sagging, stained, embarrassing. You replace it → another $998 Anna Goods sofa still looks brand new → $0
Year 6 Fast-furniture buyer has now spent $998 × 2 = $1,996 and is about to buy a third Anna Goods buyer has spent $2,200 once and is still getting compliments
Year 10 Fast-furniture buyer: $998 × 3+ = $3,000+ and counting Anna Goods buyer: still $2,200 total, planning to hand the sofa down to their kids
That $799 sofa just became the most expensive piece of furniture you’ve ever owned.
What “cheap” really means

- Foam density under 1.8 lb (bottoms out in 1–2 years)
- Fabric under 30,000 double rubs (pills and fades fast)
- No corner blocks held by two staples instead of glue + screws
