It doesn't matter if you live in a tiny studio apartment or legit grown-up home, a great sofa is a must have for any space. (After all, where else do you expect to take Zoom calls, watch Hulu, and bond with your besties over a great glass of vino? I rest my case.) Problem is, couches can get expensive fast — and I'm talking a month's rent kind of expensive. In fact, a simple sofa can be so pricey that you might even reconsider getting one in the first place.
The good news is buying a couch doesn't have to be a zero-sum game between you and your wallet. Turns out, Target has a bunch of great sectionals, loveseats, and sleeper sofas that are cute and reasonably priced. Don't believe me? Take a gander at these 12 standout styles, all of which can be yours for $500 or less. I know, a couple hundred dollars isn't exactly chump change. But compared to the thousands many models do cost, you'll be sitting pretty knowing you scored a great deal.
