Big Lots was having a sale last weekend (old)

20% off everything. I got a new sofa for $240. The cats tore the old one to shreds, lol!

What will you do to make sure they don't shred this new one?

[modhatter]

Have you ever bought any furniture from them before? How did it hold up?

[Rich Cabeza]

First time buyer. As to the cats I'll just have to deal with it.

I'm a huge fan of Big Lot. Shop there quite often. I bought two faux leather recliners about 3 or 4 years ago. Still looks as if it was brand new. Of course, I don't have kids or cats.

Get the cats some great cat furniture -- cat trees! They leave our stuff alone and use the trees. You might have to do some training along the lines of "No!" and taking them to the tree and putting their paws on it and praising them and giving out treats when they do it, but cats are smart and they'll figure it out soon that it's there for them to be a CAT on.

I bought a chair there once - ended up giving it away snce we didn't have space for it in the new place.

They carry close-outs of many of name brands - Thomasville and their lower end line - Lane. I think I've also seen some Basset there as well?

wow, great deal on the furniture. Wish I had known about the sale. Congrats on such a good find!
