I am looking at replacing my living room furniture this year and I need some suggestions? First, we have 2 cats (and yes they sometimes scratch the ends of the sofa and loveseat that we have now-in fact it looks horrible) 2. The upholstery fabic we have now has piles all over it? I don't want to go down that road again when we choose new living room furniture. The room it will go in will be sat on constantly (no formal living room in my house) and occasionally napped on. I need suggestions. I not not going to spend a fortune on the new furniture, but I would be willing to spend some extra for it to last for at least 5-7 years (if not longer). Any feedback would be appreciated.

Yes leather is hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I have leather in the vehicle i drive and put some cloth seat covers on them. If you have cats they will ruin that leather. I have a cat long haired and she sheds on my furniture. I keep a blanket or sheet where she likes to sleep .. Its hard when you have cats. But i had rather have cloth at least you can use one of those sticky roller brushes and get most of it up. I have had the same sectional sleeper sofa for 10 yrs now.and it still looks good.

I am redoing my room, and I am going to get new furniture. I am getting a double bed, bookshelf, desk, drawers, and a glass case for my snow globe collection. I am trying to find a good brand to by from, but I have zero furniture experience... What is your opinion of the best furniture company, and where can it be bought?

Hi,

I am have just formed a new company in my home and want to contribute my old furniture (in addition to money) as a start-up investment. This furniture is about 4 months old and I do not have any receipts for them. I do have CC statements though.
1) Can I contribute this furniture as start-up assets to my business?
2) How do I decide FMV for the furniture if I do not have receipts?

Thanks

You should start by reading the IRS rules for home office expense, and deciding if the furniture qualifies as being deductible. Personally, I wouldn't try to take a tax deduction for it unless it was in an area of my home designated as the office, and 100% used for that purpose. If the furniture is in your living room and used partially for business use and partially for personal use, the IRS will see a red flag if you get audited.

If you do have a deductible home office, then the furniture in that office can be treated as a capital asset and depreciated over the life of the furniture. You may also be able to deduct the entire amount right away using Section 179 depreciation expense.

It seems the credit card statements could serve as proof of your cost. However, since it has only been four months you might also be able to get your retailers to provide you with copies of the receipts.

I would take a reasonable percentage of the furniture's cost to assign market value. If it is only 4 months old, it is probably in near new condition. Nevertheless, it has gone down in value somewhat. I think they say a car goes down in value by as much as 25% when you drive it off the lot. Seems like you could value the furniture at 70-90% of what you paid for it, depending on its condition, since it is so new.

An even better way of valuing the furniture might be to decide what depreciation would be over the life of the furniture, then compute the amount attributable to the 4 months of home use and reduce the cost of the furniture by that amount. I hope this helps.

I'm moving to New York in October and trying to figure out the best and cheapest way for me to get new furniture. I live in Tennessee, and there are a lot of nice and large-chain furniture stores down here that I can get good deals with. However, transporting and moving furniture might be a problem and getting it delivered up there is not an option. Are there a lot of nice and cheap furniture stores in New York or in surrounding areas?
