It was originally listed at $90, but they've dropped it to $85. Better hurry before this beauty is gone!

I need a small sofa, but not that small!

I could be wrong but wouldn't that be what is generally referred to as a chair by most people?

Gill Thank you, they are more of a Big horn rather than Red horn :) Josh posed they are Horn tree (if all green) and Red Horn tree if there is nice color on plants. ..."Hey, Daniel, you're right, the Horn Trees do have consistently longer leaves than 'Hobbit.' You're also correct that there is the large green version, which (as far as I know) is simply called 'Horn Tree,' and then the Hummel's version which is 'Red Horn Tree.' ...I always thought they are Hobbit but looks like they grew up to be Horn Tree... I have read Oksana's post (on same thread), also remember her mentioning the removal of leaves quite some time ago. I never removed any leaves of different shapes but may try.

Surprised Texasgem did not realize that this is social media but many people do not seem to. Uptown Gal you can already do that on fb. Create a group and add only the people you want to talk to in it. It gets tricky when you try to share things like photos finding the right setting for the group that allows the same photo to be seen by another group. I set one up so that people could ask hard questions when my husband was in the nursing home. No one ever asked the hard questions but anyone can do the same.

Tartan, I actually started as an art major in college but quickly realized I was a very small fish in a big pond. Changed my major to English but kept an art minor. A hundred years later went back to school for a certificate in decorative arts and I work PT as a decorator, actually more like a consultant. But the real reason we have a lot of art is because it‘s the only thing DH likes to shop for. Haha. A lot of our art is from traveling, because we always browse in galleries when we find them. He’s frugal about a lot of things, but will always spend on art. Anyway, thank you for your kind words. 🙂

That IS a small sofa!

I always think it's strange when I see a chair referred to on my FBM as a "sitting chair." As if there's another kind?

Perhaps, but I looked through their other items for sale (including an appropriately described wing back chair) and didn't notice many language/grammar errors. And this is not the first time in my area that I've seen chairs labeled as sofas/couches. Regardless, I sincerely do wish them luck!

The categories that Marketplace makes you autofill can be annoying and frustrating. I can totally see someone finally just clicking something and thinking, "Whatever".

Although on second glance, it's also in the description so ????

Funny indeed 😄

Maybe they just didn't notice the error, if they've got more for sale as well?

carol, it's listed as a sofa in both the title (which I cropped out) and the description. But I do love everyone giving them the benefit of the doubt. Very nice people here indeed!

Hmm, perhaps they don't know what the word 'sofa' means?

It could be that carol. I know when I've searched for sofas I enter sofa/couch.

I looked up the deffinition wondering if there was some back in the day definition about upholstry we were missing--but no. No way do I want to try and sleep there!!

Also, I'm stunned that the listings in your areas include measurements, Here, we're lucky if the single photo isn't obfuscated by a thumb or a dog.

Most people here are pretty good with measurements, but it's not often you seen it right on the photo! It's so crazy not to include measurements, imo, because 90% of inquiries must ask about it!.

So I guess FBM has it's own category of furniture--an upholstered chair can be a sofa, or as Sue pointed a regular chair is a "sitting chair". Guess you could flop out on the "small sofa" type chairs, lol.

And here we have . . . a Slipping Sofa.

I guess you lay across the edge and slide right down! Actually I'm sure they meant a "sleeping sofa". But still funny.
