Best Living Room Sets Under $500
Below is a thorough list of several different types of living room sets under $500 that you can find and order on Amazon.
Poundex 2 Piece Reversible Sectional
Features:
- 2 Pieces
- Includes 1 sectional sofa and 2 pillows
- Weighs 120 pounds
- Slate, Paprika Red, or Tan
- The armrests feature a stud design that stands out among the otherwise monochromatic sofa design.
Overall Poundex 2 Piece Reversible Sectional Review
At first glance, the Poundex reversible sectional is as straightforward as living room sets go, but it has just enough features to stand out compared to a plain couch. The two pillows feature a white geometric pattern on fabric in the same color as the couch. The light brown wooden legs, studded armrests, and tufted back cushions elevate the minimalist design for a living room or office space.
It is not quite long enough for the average person to use for a quick power nap, but it’s suitable for an intimate but comfortable seating area. Assembly is easy, being just light enough to maneuver on your own or with a partner. The reversible function gives you options for which side the long end of the couch will be depending on your living room or office arrangements.
It currently has one review, which describes the sectional as a decent couch, and rates at a 4.1 out of 5-star rating.
Powerstone Upholstered Loveseat and Accent Chair Set
Features:
- 2 Pieces
- Includes 1 loveseat and 1 accent chair
- The maximum weight capacity for an armchair is 265 pounds and 530 pounds for a loveseat
- Blue, White, or Yellow
- Each color features its own floral, nature-inspired design accenting the fabric colors
Overall Powerstone Upholstered Loveseat and Accent Chair Set Review
The Powerstone living room set is a fun, modern choice with roomy cushion space if you’re trying to integrate different patterns and textures to all your room’s components, from furniture pieces to artwork and decor. Both pieces have armrests made of light brown rubberwood on a sturdy wooden frame, and the cushions are a thick elastic sponge covered in linen. Depending on whether you purchase blue, white, or yellow determines the type of floral or nature design on the linen cushions, creating an inviting seating space.
It currently has 4.4 out of 5 stars with 47 reviews.
Esright 88.6” Convertible Sectional Sofa Couch with Ottoman
Features:
- 2 Pieces
- Includes 1 Sofa sectional and 1 Ottoman
- Maximum weight capacity is 750 pounds
- Black (fabric) or Brown (faux leather)
- Sits between two and four people
Overall Esright 88.6” Convertible Sectional Sofa Couch with Ottoman Review
For a living room set under 500 dollars, the Esright convertible sectional sofa couch looks more expensive than its actual price. The L-shaped furniture, if purchased in black, comes in fabric or faux leather depending on your style preference (brown is only available with faux leather material). With a movable ottoman, you can put your feet up no matter your place on the sofa, or use the ottoman as a miniature albeit squishy table. You can comfortably fit a group of four for the ultimate Netflix marathon.
Currently, the sofa has a 4.4 out of 5-star rating with 45 reviews.
Sectional Sofa for Living Room Furniture Set
Features:
- 2 Pieces
- Sectional sofa with removable ottoman
- 110 pounds
- Grey, Light Grey, Blue, or Tan
- Long cushion can transform couch into corner sectional or a couch with free-standing ottoman
Overall Sectional Sofa for Living Room Furniture Set Review
Compared to other sofas, I like that all four color options of this FDW Store sofa look great for any living room style. The memory foam cushions combined with strong springs provide a comfortable yet supportive seating space that won’t leave an embarrassing dent as evidence you spent your whole afternoon off sitting on the couch scrolling social media. Depending on how you want to assemble the sofa, it could be a one-piece corner sectional or a small sofa with a footrest.
Currently, this sofa has a 3 out of 5-star rating with 168 reviews.
Walsunny Convertible Sectional Sofa Couch with Reversible Chaise
Features:
- 2 Pieces
- Sectional sofa with removable ottoman
- Maximum weight capacity is 660 pounds
- Brown, Dark Beige, Dark Grey, or Light Grey
- Linen fabric for breathable, comfortable feel
Overall Walsunny Convertible Sectional Sofa Couch with Reversible Chaise Review
Although this couch looks similar to the FDW couch previously mentioned, it is a slightly smaller option if you live in a small space or want to maximize your living room. Having a removable ottoman can lend itself to a great extra seating option while still looking cohesive with the design. Linen is a little more breathable compared to sofas made with leather, and won’t have you hot during summertime siestas at home.
Currently, this couch has a 3.9 out of 5-star rating with 330 reviews.
AODAILIHB Sofa Sets for Living Room 3 Piece Mid Century Modern Sectional Couch Set
Features:
- 3 Pieces
- 1 Loveseat and 2 Armchairs
- Weight capacity up to 660 pounds
- Dark Grey
- Thin armrests
Overall AODAILIHB Sofa Sets for Living Room 3 Piece Mid Century Modern Sectional Couch Set Review
The AODAILIHB sofa set is a good choice for around-the-table seating if you’re big on game nights. Seating is similar to other couch sets under 500 listed here, but the difference is that the three pieces can be arranged more creatively than sectionals with removable ottomans. The dark grey coloring gives a more sophisticated look to any room while the soft fabric of the set is comfortable and invites anyone to sit back and enjoy. You have the freedom to set the pieces any way you need to maximize your relaxation space or help amplify your fun evening with friends and family.
Currently this loveseat and armchair set has a 5-star rating and four reviews.
Poundex F7855 Bobkona Aria Faux Leather 2 Piece Sofa and Loveseat Set, Black
Features:
- 2 Pieces
- 1 Sofa, 1 Loveseat, 4 pillows
- 179 Pounds
- Black or Espresso
- Comfortably seats four
Overall Poundex F7855 Bobkona Aria Faux Leather 2 Piece Sofa and Loveseat Set, Black Review
Made of faux leather, this living room set is worth the money because the material is less likely to crack and is stain resistant–an imperative feature if you’re entertaining young children or even clumsy adults. Both Black and Espresso colors plus the brown throw pillows create a professional-looking living space. As one of the heaviest options available on this list of furniture sets under 500, I’d take caution during assembly so as not to hurt yourself. No one wants to break in a sofa by having it be their second bed as they heal from an assembly-related injury.
Right now this set has a 4.3 out of 5-star rating with 106 reviews.
Ohuhu Upgraded Convertible Sectional Sofa Couch, 4-seat L-Shape Sofa Couch
Features:
- 3 Pieces
- 1 Sofa, 1 Storage ottoman, and 1 storage bag
- Maximum weight capacity is 660 pounds
- Grey
- Longest dimensions of any couch on this list
Overall Ohuhu Upgraded Convertible Sectional Sofa Couch, 4-seat L-Shape Sofa Couch Review
Some new features to note with this set compared to another couch set under $500 is that this couch has four seats and the longest dimensions of any sofa listed. Whether you’re tall, want extra room to stretch out and relax, or want to pile on all the people you can, this is the right choice.
It also comes with a storage bag for a few remotes and a book or two, and the ottoman doubles as a storage space for blankets or maybe some snacks. In other words, I’d say this is the best option for such a great price. All you need is to spend a little money on a table and you’d never have a reason to leave the couch as you head into a rewatch of all the Lord of the Rings movies. Okay, maybe a bathroom break here and there.
Currently, the Ohuhu living room sofa couch has a 4.5 out of 5-star rating and three reviews.
Edenbrook Lynnwood Upholstered Sofa with Square Arms and Tufting-Bolster Throw Pillows Included, Charcoal
Features:
- 1 Piece
- 1 sofa and 2 bolster pillows
- 102 pounds
- Charcoal, Black (faux leather), Light Grey, Navy, or Camel (faux leather)
- The thin legs make the sofa appear as if it’s floating
Overall Edenbrook Lynnwood Upholstered Sofa with Square Arms and Tufting-Bolster Throw Pillows Included, Charcoal
If there was a couch that screamed great style, search no further than the Edenbrook sofa for your living room. The deliberate textured design of the tufted cushions, small bolster pillows that seem more decorative than functional, and sleek square edging creates a simplistic and sophisticated space for your home. I wouldn’t have guessed this couch had such an affordable price considering how expensive the design makes it look.
Not only that, it comes in enough colors so as not to seem too basic if you and your bestie decide to buy the same sofas.
The Edenbrook sofa has a 4.2 out of 5-star rating with 108 reviews.
Handy Living 4-Piece Wicker Indoor/Outdoor Furniture Set
Features:
- 4 Pieces
- 1 Loveseat, 2 Chairs, 1 Table
- 80.5 Pounds
- Dark Espresso Brown
- Made of wicker for indoor or outdoor use
Overall Handy Living 4-Piece Wicker Indoor/Outdoor Furniture Set Review
If your plan is to get items for your living room that give a little class but could also function anywhere in your home, try the Handy Living furniture set. I think this set is better suited for an outdoor space because the wicker material makes me think of hanging out in the backyard enjoying drinks during a summer cookout. However, the Dark Espresso Brown coloring of the chairs and table plus the elegant light creamy yellow cushions and pillows can easily find its place indoors. Move over leather, wicker is having its moment in the sun. Literally.
Currently, this set has no customer reviews, but the look and price is enticing enough to give it a try.
Poundex F7858 Bobkona Aria Linen-Like 2 Piece Sofa and Loveseat Set, Grey
Features:
- 2 Pieces
- 1 Sofa, 1 Loveseat, and 4 Pillows
- 179 Pounds
- Grey, Black, Beige, or Espresso
- Back cushions are accented with comfortable tufts
Overall Poundex F7858 Bobkona Aria Linen-Like 2 Piece Sofa and Loveseat Set, Grey Review
Similar to the Poundex faux leather sofa set mentioned earlier, the grey color option is made with a linen-like material, which makes for a breathable and comfortable lounging experience. There are just enough pillows to provide good back, neck, and leg support, and a lap table for your laptop when you’re working from home and trying to clear your email inbox.
Currently, this set has a 3.7 out of 5-star rating with 73 reviews.
LifeStyle Solutions Collection Grayson Micro-Fabric Sofa
Features:
- 1 Piece
- Includes 1 sofa
- 83 Pounds
- Black or Dark Gray
- Has longer dimensions compared to other sofas on this list by nearly six extra inches
Overall LifeStyle Solutions Collection Grayson Micro-Fabric Sofa Review
Of all the sofas in the world, my favorite material to lounge on is microfiber fabric. It seems to be a popular option among several users because this LifeStyle Solutions sofa is ranked number four in the Sofas and Couches category on Amazon. And to think this is part of other cheap living room sets under $500.
Not only is this sofa made of the softest, most inviting material, it also has foam cushions that contour to your shape while still supporting your weight. That, plus the longer dimensions to either comfortably fit up to three people or intimately fit up to four is the formula for the beset living room sofa.
Currently, this item has a 3.8 out of 5-star rating with 1,067 reviews.
Esofastore 2pcs Sofa Set Bobkona Living Room
Features:
- 2 Pieces
- Includes 1 Sofa and 1 Loveseat
- Blue, Coffee, or Citrus
- Foam cushions look fluffy and comfortable
Overall Esofastore 2pcs Sofa Set Bobkona Living Room Review
One way to give a living room real personality is to source your color from your sofas. The shade of blue this Esofastore set comes in does just that: it’s soft enough to complement any combination of color palettes without looking tacky. Aside from the color, the foam cushions look fluffy and uber comfortable.
Currently, this furniture set has zero reviews and ratings, which can be a risk if you need reviews to make your final decision before buying. However, based on the item descriptions, it may just be worth the risk–I’d buy it for the color alone.
Furniture of America Rise Transitional Upholstered Accent Chair and Round Table Set, Gray
Features:
- 3 Pieces
- Includes 2 chairs and 1 small round table
- 53 Pounds
- Gray
- Design looks fit for a home office
Overall Furniture of America Rise Transitional Upholstered Accent Chair and Round Table Set, Gray Review
Whether you’re filling a home office or want to add to a current living room set, these are easily the most suitable chairs for your place. The gray upholstery gives a sleek, professional finish to the chairs and the table provides a space for beverages or a small lamp. The cushions may not be as plush as chairs featured in other cheap living room sets under $500 mentioned here, but they are sturdy and easy to clean.
Currently this set has no ratings or reviews, but you could take the gamble, be the first to try it out, and provide a (hopefully) positive review on Amazon. If it’s not to your satisfaction, a simple email makes it easy to remedy any concerns or issues.
Blue Floral 2 Pieces Modern Living Room Sofa Set Upholstered 2 Seat Loveseat Sofa Couch
Features:
- 2 Pieces
- Includes 1 Loveseat and 1 Accent chair
- 60 Pounds
- Blue Floral
- Both pieces have wide backrests and deep seating
Overall Blue Floral 2 Pieces Modern Living Room Sofa Set Upholstered 2 Seat Loveseat Sofa Couch Review
This living room sofa set is identical to the Powerstone set mentioned earlier, but offered by the Almacen brand. The floral print and wooden frame set the tone for a casual space, whether it be for your living room, bedroom or mudroom. The wide backrests and deep seating give the ultimate space for relaxation with just enough cushion to stay comfortable.
Although this brand’s offering of the sofa sets have no ratings or reviews, I’d think it’s safe to take a look at Powerstone’s 4.4-star ratings for reference.
Poundex F6906 Bobkona Tyler Linen-Like 2 Piece Sofa and Loveseat Set
Features:
- 2 pieces
- Includes 1 Sofa, 1 Loveseat, and 4 Pillows
- Weighs 164 pounds
- Citrus color
- The black and white chevron design on the pillows offset the yellow material of the couches for a modern, fun living room.
Overall Poundex F6906 Bobkona Tyler Linen-Like 2 Piece Sofa and Loveseat Set Review
I absolutely adore this sofa and loveseat set because it reminds me of Charlie Brown. I imagine this product arranged in a room filled with artwork and tables adorned with memorabilia of the famous Peanuts characters and that iconic piano music setting the mood for a playful and fun room. As much as I think you couldn’t top that kind of inspiration, if Charlie Brown isn’t your style, this sofa set could be paired with an equally eclectic table and other monochromatic decors for a chic, modern aesthetic.
Currently, this set has a small handful of reviews and a 3 out of 5-star rating.
Yellow Floral 2 PCS Living Room Sofa Set Upholstered 2 Seat Loveseat Sofa Couch
Features:
- 2 Pieces
- Includes 1 Loveseat sofa and 1 Accent chair
- Net weight is 60 pounds
- Yellow Floral
- Thick cushions for soft seating
Overall Yellow Floral 2 PCS Living Room Sofa Set Upholstered 2 Seat Loveseat Sofa Couch Review
This set is another iteration of the Almacen living room sets, except in the Yellow Floral colors. It has all the same great features from the thick cushions to sturdy, ergonomically designed wooden armrests and frame. Between the two colors, I like the Yellow Floral best. The shade of yellow provides a bright warmth to any room. I also prefer the nature-inspired pattern on the material.
Again this item has no ratings or reviews, but I would still consider this as a top option among living room sets.
Esofastore 2pcs Sofa Set Bobkona Living Room Sofa and Loveseat
Features:
- 2 Pieces
- Includes 1 Sofa and 1 Loveseat
- Available in Citrus, Coffee, and Blue
- Linen-like fabric gives a comfortable, casual look to the space
Overall Esofastore 2pcs Sofa Set Bobkona Living Room Sofa and Loveseat Review
This couch is similar to the other Esofastore living room sets mentioned earlier, but the key difference is the color. It has the same casual look, with comfortable cushions and easily seating up to five people. If I had to pick between the two, I’d go with this couch because the Citrus color brightens up any room.
Living Room Lounge Set of 2 Tommy Chairs and Nicky Rectangular Coffee Table
Features:
- 3 Pieces
- 2 Chairs and 1 Coffee table
- Available in light gray
- Tommy chairs give laid-back beach feel for relaxed lounging
Overall Living Room Lounge Set of 2 Tommy Chairs and Nicky Rectangular Coffee Table Review
Compared to the Furniture of America set, this 3-piece set not only has a more casual look but also covers more surface area with longer dimensions all around. The reclined style of the Tommy chair sets a scene reminiscent of an easy-going day at the beach right in your living room, but without sand getting stuck in your toes. The light gray cushion and the beech-colored wood gives a contemporary feel to the chairs.
The coffee table has the same beech-colored wood to complete the set’s look, featuring a shelf to stow away board games or throw blankets for your cozy afternoons.
Although this lounge set is void of ratings and reviews, you could take a chance on the product and help other Amazon users see why it’s worth the buy.
ioHOMES Mayetta Transitional Padded Fabric-Like Vinyl 3-Piece Chair and Table Living Room Set, Light Gray
Features:
- 3 Pieces
- Includes 1 Accent table, 2 Chairs
- 49 Pounds
- Available in Light Gray
- Faux leather vinyl is soft to touch for a more comfortable chair
Overall ioHOMES Mayetta Transitional Padded Fabric-Like Vinyl 3-Piece Chair and Table Living Room Set, Light Gray Review
For a 3-piece living room set under $500, the ioHOMES living room set works well as extra seating for a living room or as primary seating for a sunroom or covered porch. The deep cushions and fabric-like vinyl chair material make for a soft and comfortable seat, fitting one person per chair. The espresso-colored table matches the chair legs, creating a cohesive look for any home. Although the table isn’t that large compared to other tables mentioned on this list, it’s just big enough to hold a couple cups of coffee or tea and a small plate of cookies.
Currently this furniture set has zero reviews and ratings, but based on the affordable price, it may be worth the risk to invest in this living room furniture. If you’re not satisfied, however, Amazon has a 30-day return policy on furniture.
