Their is a lot said in this forum about how to determine if your buying a quality sofa. A high retail price then marked down in by itself doesnt mean your getting a good quality sofa for the money. I have seen manufacturers build the exact same sofa for different markets based upon price alone. Its been said time and time again when looking for a quality sofa, is to know the details: hardwood frames, dowel joinery thats glued & screwed, steel coils or sinuous wire seat, HR foam wrapped and fitted into a sewn cover, backs should have high density foam or back cushions should have high denier polyester either conjugated or cluster (best) fiber filled. Always check their warranty and return policy. You should know this before you purchase any sofa if its 500.00 or 10,000.00

Salesman either lied or doesn't know better. Doesn't sound like a steal.
