Sofas are a huge investment. Not just because you’re stuck with them for who knows how long, but they usually do take a big chunk out of your savings. Even those direct-to-consumer sofa brands that promise to sell you a better for less usually don’t come cheaper than a grand. If you do enough digging online, however, you can find some super-cheap sofas that don’t look super cheap. And lucky for you, we did the online digging so you didn’t have to. Here are the best under-$500 sofas to shop online right now.

Hold up – a leather sofa for under $1,000? Not exactly. But this faux leather-upholstered sofa would have people fooled into thinking it’s the real deal. Plus, it’s made in the US, the frame is solid oak and it’s easy to assemble. All you have to do now is check out.
