STAFF PICK: A great alternative for budget shoppers who find themselves weeping over the price tags on other overstuffed furniture around town. The days of sobbing into ludicrously expensive pillows are over if you head to the unassuming Leunen Sofa Factory. Our search for a "sleeper sofa" came to a satisfying conclusion that only set us back about $300. You have to look at Leunen (all sofas are not created equal, alas); but you can choose the style and fabric, and they'll fashion you a fairly priced couch in about a week.
