Save your money and put it towards getting the hell out of Banbury. Seriously, you owe it to your family...

I don't live in Banbury man, I live in Oxford (not far from the centre) that is the worst town ever, I always think its like one of Stephen King's horror town, will never ever ever think of moving there

Why not have your sofa recovered in something other than leather, I'm getting mine done in velvet with a scotchgard protection. I looked but couldn't find anything as well made as the one I had and re-covering seemed a good option.

I already explained why - kids, accidents etc !

M & S - way overpriced but had the only Sofa I could find that I wanted. 3.5k for 2 leather sofas- 3 seat size, but with 2 large cushions each. 7 years later it still looks virtually new.
No offence but that sofa is one ugly mother.

Need new sofa and a couple of armcharis, prefer leather - what's the best place ?

Don't want to go to DFS, its all the way up north from me ( in dreaded Banbury )

Bought a 3 and a 2 seat brand new black leather sofa off ebay 2 years ago for £500. The guy had them delivered next day. He had loads for sale at the time.

Just bought our leather sofa from here - with power recliners! Don't forget to bargain for your additional "employees" discount. And pay in cash.

Only a fool buys a sofa for cash unless they are physically loading it in the van the moment that the dosh is handed over.

Furniture shops have the absolute worst record in the high street of going broke and if this happens, and you paid in cash, your money is lost.

Always, always, always, buy large furniture items that you have to wait 'n' months to be delivered with a credit card (or some other form of protected loan).

There's a reason why furniture companies offer you a good deal for cash. It's because they are having cash flow difficulties. Processing the card costs a maxmum of 2%, a discount anything larger than this for cash should ring very loud alarm bells.

We've asked it to be delayed until May while we redecorate. Standard is 8 weeks I think.

In heavens name man what were you thinking?

Cancel the order, don't start decorating: get some design lessons. Then, armed with a better appreciation of form and function begin life again.

Feck me that's the ugliest piece of furniture I have ever laid eyes on.

Here's some advice. If you want help in choosing something fashionable, chic and attractive, don't come to an IT Contractors forum.

Sorry your sofa looks like an inflatable turd

With shifty eyes like that!

With the rate these sofa companies go bust taking your money with them, I think I'd be inclined to use a credit card.

Hi LB...Hmmm, didn't think of that. We've put a 15% deposit down, full payment on delivery. Fingers crossed.

Love to order designer stuff but we've forked out stacks already on renovating the house/office.

[hyperD]

Which one did you go for ? how long did it take them to deliver?

In any case, I am a bit puzzled as this is a contractors' board. Do you not do as I do and send your man along to Philippe Starck to discuss your requirements and arrange for them to design a bespoke solution?
