- Investing a significant portion of your budget in a
high-quality sofa (80-90 inches long) ensures longevity and comfort
as you move between homes.
- For families or individuals with pets or frequent guests, opting
for mid-tone fabric sofas over white linen or leather can provide
durability and ease of maintenance.

Macy's, which offers a wide range of options, including mid-century
modern styles at various price points.
