Looking for a new couch

We need a new couch. Can't really afford new furniture till after I finish school, but felt like looking anyway. I found this site that sells Designer Furniture, and went looking. I looked around for a while and realized that Modern Furniture is another way to say ugly furniture. Some of it was not too bad and there were some that were kinda cool, but oh my, look at those prices!

I guess I'm not their kind of clientelle. I would not want to waste all the ozone that would be destroyed by taking such a large peice of Italian Furniture and shipping it across the world. Yes, I've bought stuff that was born across the world, but I've learned a lot since them. I'm now trying to be a better buyer of local, or at least made in America, buyer. Even made in Canada or Mexico would be much better than buying something from the other end of the world. China is closer, by the boat, than Italy is. I could not imagine flying those products here!

Alright, I might be a little harsh. Not all of the stuff they have to offer is ugly. Some of it is cool, but it is still way too expensive. I don't think that Contemporary Furniture is my style though. I'm more of a Goodwill Cheap type. I do have a lot of stuff that is made over seas (like this laptop), but I am trying to limit that, as I learn more about sustainability, it is becoming even more important to me.
