Mint is only for gum or grandma's homemade tea

This whole couch situation is becoming a major fiasco. Well, more of a fiasco then it has been, I should say.

Bas and I headed out last night to pay a visit to our old friend JenniferLeather (JLe, if you prefer) to pick out a new couch that can fit through the crawl space we refer to as a front door.
We found two couches that were in the same price range, under 30 inches and actually quite lovely. Perfect, right? Just pick the one you love the most and order it. Easy.

Well, hell to the no...life for us could never be that clear-cut and easy. Instead, here's what really happened:

The two couches we liked were both strange (ok, ugly) colors. One was minty green and the other was a shiny go-go boot white. Patent leather. Cute for boots, ugly for couch.
Now, both of these handsome styled couches are offered in an assortment of colors-good, right?

Well, hell to the no...like I said before.

If we want any other colors, it has to be "special ordered" which takes 16 weeks to be delivered. That's how they say it, 16 "weeks." I guess by saying weeks it makes it seem not so long. But the sad truth my friends, is that is 4 damn months! You can't pull the wool on me, I can multiply.
That's just abnormal. And Miss Debra (the JLe design consultant, eh hem) said it's because it comes from Italy. Uh, yeah and.....? Is this 1901? Does it have to be sent over on the Titanic? I could even live with a four week wait for the right color. Four months just ain't happening.

You can only get the colors that Jen displays on the showroom floor in the special two week time period. And JLe decides it's a good idea to display mint green and white patent leather? And you have to SPECIAL ORDER off-white or black?
I'm pretty sure it's wiser to require a person to special order mint because only 4 people in the world are going to pick that color. Meanwhile about 16,000 people would pick normal, neutral tones that match everything. Like off-white and black.
Jenny boasts on her website that she has been around for over 31 years. Well, why hasn't she figured out that mint green is a minority color? C'mon. It's not brain surgery Jen!

And Miss Debra was trying to talk us into liking those colors. Yes she was! Uh, sales people!
If you are going to make an expense purchase on a new leather couch, I'm pretty sure you should love everything about it. Color, Style, Comfort, Durability. Not just the freaking size.

We are going to cancel the order, which they are going to charge us $100 to do. But what other choice do we have? We can't very well settle for ugliness. And we can't agree to the whole disassemble thing. It's too costly and too impractical, given that we are renting and plan to buy a house in the next year or so.
When we first started looking for couches, our second choice was to purchase something from the Door Store: http://www.doorstorefurniture.com/

We'll just get something from there. They have items that reflect our tastes and they actually offer them in an assortment of normal people colors.
And their delivery time?

Two days.
