Would you trust a couch from a thrift shop or facebook marketplace?

It's time for a new couch just about. The one I have is older than dirt and I bought those little boards to place under the cushions to give support. Starting to feel the springs in some places and the cats used one side as a scratching post over the years. Thankfully they stopped doing that.

I don't like going to furniture shops because of the salespeople who swarm you and don't give you peace.

A leather couch is less likely to have cooties living in it, but the frame might. Some people buy things and then decide they don't like it or they are moving or whatever. You can get some deals if you search, also no taxes to pay, but then you also need to arrange for someone to deliver it if you are unable to do that yourself, and of course no warranties.
I find Marketplace to be kinda fun.
