The best couch in Toronto


Apparently, this is it. As you know, we're moving soon and you know what that means-MOVING SALE! The liquidation has already begun as we needed to make room for a couple new chairs we bought and so, the beloved blue Ikea couch must go. The couch is sort of your classic Ikea couch-comfortable, stylish, and has an expiry date of about 5 years. I posted an ad for it on Craigslist and Kijiji and to my surprise, I got 15 inquiries on it in about 24 hours! I've had a couple people say they'll take it immediately and can pay cash-sight unseen, and one guy even said he'd pay double my asking price for it! What the heck?! Is there a massive couch shortage in Toronto that I don't know about? Is blue the new black? Anyway, Craigslist and Kijiji are freakin' sweet and once again the question has to be asked: What did people do before the Internet?

Many of you have sat on this couch, laughed on this couch, possibly even cried on this couch. As a sort of memorial to the Blue Wonder, please feel free to share your favourite memories of the couch in the comments section below before we say goodbye to Ol' Blue Eye forever.

I've been lounging on that couch since '01. Works really well when you lay down on it sideways.

I'd throw in an offer for it, but it seems the market value for that couch must be so ridiculous you need to sell it to the highest bidder. It's like a 1992 Honda Civic...300,000km, rusty, but some chump'll still pay $3500 for it.

Wow, here I thought the blue couch might actually come live at my house one day! I think it's rapidly gone out of my league!

It's been a comfy place for chats, movies, and games of six nimt, but I suppose all great things must come to an end!

Good-bye fair blue couch! We'll miss you...but we'll always have the memories!

My memories of the couch are not as sweet as the others, however I have had some good snoozes on it. I will forever remember it as the couch that made everyone think that I actually like blue furniture. My parting words to the couch are 'times are a changing'!

Beautiful tributes all of them...except Joel's-giving us all a bad mental picture man! STELL-AAAAA!

It's clear the blue couch has made an impact on all our lives. May she continue to do so as she enters someone else's living room.
