If they don't have fook all in stock then their overheads should be minimal - margins on such sofas should be next to nothing, yet somehow they make 50% discounts and still clearly making a killing on it.
How long does it take to build a sofa anyway, provided materials are available (which they should be given the price). One week wait should be max - not for common colours either.Comment

Why are you still going to the big stores?
Do some research then pick a local shop/manufacturer."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
