    You can judge the size of the sofa from the special model sitting in one corner of it. Here is one such special sofa model:

      No tulip Sherlock!

      Of course it's better for THEM.

      The question is WTF nobody serious can offer 1 week max wait for these things?

        Interesting bit is that DFS offers 4 years loan - 0% interest apparently, nothing to pay in first year! Someone must be financing it - they were totally uninterested in me paying cash in full to give extra discount ffs!

          Look, DFS is for those that:

          1. Have no money and can only afford a sofa as it is buy now pay later 0% APR.
          2. Don't mind waiting for it.
          3. Quality is not important.

          This isn't you is it, so ******* move on and find a small retailer that:

          1. Expects you to pay up front.
          2. Has the sofa in stock and can deliver quickly.
          3. Has good quality products at high prices.

            Are you taking the piss now? With all your 'economic expertise' are you telling me you don't know why big companies prefer 4 Year interest free Loans over cash? Really?????

              FFS!! You are Russian. Your nation has waited centuries for chairs, fire, indoor cludgies, and the wheel.
              Is it too much for you to wait a few weeks for some "quality" furniture?

                Wait list for flat was like 15-20 years in USSR.

                Tulip car was around 10 years, IF you have the money - around 10k rubles, which was around 5 annual salaries of a PhD (assuming during this period they did not eat anything and did not spend any money otherwise).

                KGB/party favoured car Volga was 16k rubles, it was not allowed to get it in Black colour as it was special mark of power...

                --

                So here I am - around 20 years since fall of USSR I declare very clearly - DFS can

                **** right off with their 12 weeks waiting. Might as well go to Italy and buy there

                  Usually I'd say this sort of thing is there to get someone hooked on debt and then get totally ****** on very high interest rate.

                  However given very long period of 0% - 4 years, and nothing to pay for first year this is a rather odd scheme clearly designed to boost sales of otherwise unaffordable items.

                  It is therefore totally retarded that someone with cash to pay upfront won't get a healthy discount: 30-50%.

                  Nevermind that 12 weeks waiting period
