After quite some time the wife and I finally found a place that's gonna be the almost-forever home. We saved for a little longer and wound up skipping the middle step, and now we enter the realm of having money to buy any furniture, TV, appliances, and so on that we want. What's puzzling to us is if this stuff is worth it. We've had great $500 couches and crappy $1500 couches. What's a good guideline for furniture? We've got an Ashley Furniture store locally that could set us up pretty nicely for a decent price, or we can spend 2-3X that for what appears to be the same. Where's the knee in the cost:value curve?
