Buying a Sofa?
Hello
A very silly question, but where do you buy sofas from? I've had one since being married and it was bought for me, so I have absolutely no clue.
The only store that springs to mind from vast amounts of brain washing television is DFS, but I assume they wont barter to give me a better price as I don't want nothing down and 0% for 10 years?
Thanks,
Steve

I got my large double sofa bed from Alders, now Debenhams, but don't do the same mistake I did.
This was way back when I moved into a 1 bed flat, problem is it was too big to turn through 90 degrees in the narrow hallway to get it under the door into the lounge. I had to take the door off, knock a hole in the wall to widen the doorway. Then it was a hallway/through lounge
Let more light in lol

Oh, and in my case the DFS cheap sofa was only if you wanted it in red (extra for any other colour) and it cost extra for solid feet instead of casters

John Peters are good. We got a 3 seater and a chair for £1000. Maybe a bit expensive but very good quality and looks good. Good customer service aswell which is always a bonus!!
Wherever you buy from I would go around a bank holiday. We found they mark up the prices so they can reduce them to the 'correct' price during sales.

I can't comment on the whole range, only what we bought, which was leather and has stood up well to beer, kebab grease and a dog so far.

Bought mine from DFS 18 months ago, £900 brown leather job. Took out 3 years interest free credit, ie not nothing to pay for 12 months then 36 monthly payments, just straight forward 3 years interest free...........Up until this months bank statement they've taken exactly nothing for it!
Not even one Payment 
I think they might have forgotten about me, trouble is i'd like another 2 seater to match but i'm afraid of going back in just incase when they put my details into the computer they'll figure it out

Hello
Bought the Furniture Village one in the end, I just couldn't cope with DFS. Probably the same quality but Furniture Village one felt so much better.

DFS are all smarmy and nice on a Sunday with cheap sparkling wine and orange juice thrust at you as you wander round. Felt like tipping it down the side of one of the sofa's.
Is that sofa in your "owse" or on set at Furniture world?
Nice Gaff AND nice sofa if it is Boxst
