Ms daisy vaisy, you’re doing that thing again 
Obstructing people from having meaningful conversation on household related issues by your frolics. Please, we are all very serious people here.

Sir, I say with great respect that I never “do that thing”… this is an utter falsehood and I will as you to refrain from making these deeply hurtful and libellous accusations. it is very rude and very unEnglish!
If this thread was about meaninful conversations it would have had a suitable heading for example “meaningful conversation regarding decorating and furniture.”
nevertherless I will provide you with some information…
use websites, and little adverts at the back of newspapers…sometimes larger stores take quite a large commission from their sales.
smaller retailers may be able to offer you a better price… For those in the UK In small quality manufacturers do this…you can get hand made leather chairs and sofa’s for a lot less than in say “land of leather”
as for Ikea type furniture… with some pieces its good for a few years has to be renewed and if you consider renewal costs over the years its not economically sound, if you have the finances its worth investing in a few pieces …bearing in mind that nowadays furniture does go out of fashion comparatively quickly
If you have a certain style especially a “timeless” look its easier to get way with buying long term furniture
a French farmhouse or chateau look, georgian, victorian or an eclectic mix…
these looks last
if you look back a few years at the modern furniture on sale…you’ll find that its different and that look looks aged.
Now for the iron issue
someone said you can get an iron cleaning solution or a little block thing that is made for the purpose
Or warm up the iron and use a washing up scourer to scrape of the muck
ps you must buy flowers and candels for ambiance
