I sold the couches to a college student and a computer desk to a guy who needed desks for his business. 

How would that be different than having a pull out couch (these are made for this exact scenario).

They can do some damage to the corner of a couch etc without much effort.

@Mat O'Grady - would you please kindly provide the details to me as well.Thanks much in advance,Mic

When they moved in, they severely damaged a door frame & some walls & trim by trying to put a much-too-large couch into a bedroom.

Couches, kitchen table, beds, etc.? 

. $4000 couches and $3000 dining tables are wonderful, but waaaaay out of the range of where could afford.We bought beachy and woodsy things along with some cool pics turned into large art.

Should existing furnishings (beds/couches/cabinets) be kept/replaced/or house left empty?

you also get 70+% of the contracts signed.It is as simple as that.Lastly.. do not try to find a couch when you have done no serious attempt to figure it out.If you just open the door to REI and immediately go asking for a coach it is absolutely pointless.You need to have given it some serious effort so THAT you can legitimately decide if you need/want one, and also to evaluate whether or not that coach is any good.Most people will pick a coach based on popularity and the loudest barkers, instead of their lead generation skills.ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING REI boils down to Lead Generation...Period!

I count 5 pictures of the couch and are there 3 pictures of the same bathroom when you have 2 bathrooms?
