THE SKINNY ON SOFAS
You've found the perfect apartment in the perfect location at the perfect rent and with the perfect roommates. What more could you possibly need?
Unless that dream apartment comes fully-furnished, chances are you still need a place to sit, to eat and to do homework: You need furniture.
First-time apartment outfitters may find themselves intimated by the prospect of high
price tags and having to know the difference between a "sofa" and a "lovedeat," but Lawrence businesses are keen to make furniture shopping as hassle-free as possible, especially for college students. Many local stores change their merchandise to better cater to the student crowd, and some, high- and low-end alike, even drop their prices around the back-to-school period.
Here are some places to buy furniture in the Lawrence area, as well as some price ranges for those stores.
