I have been shopping for couches and chairs and find that I like the quality and style of Massoud the best, but the price is beyond my finances. Is there another brand that you could suggest that I look at that might be comparable or a step under Massoud? Thank you.

Try C. R. Laine. They really are a great value in upholstery. If that is still out of your reach take a look at one of the good name brand companies in the medium quality/price range such as Broyhill.
