So as someone "in the know", where should one buy a sofa then ???
Furniture world or village , can't remember used to have some nice stuff. But I think they went bust. Probably because people would rather buy inferior crap from DFS. You are best going to a smallish independant or small chain tan one of the big boys.
In another life I used to work in the home furnishings industry. Avoid DFS like the plague. The products are of the worst quality I have seen. My guess is their mark up is at least 5 times what they cost to make, hence the wonderful interest free offers on a 1000 suite that cost 200 max.

That's exactly the one....When we got there, the Sofa's looked sh*t and there were life size cardboard cutouts everywhere of some tart off a 'do your home up' type tv show...the same woman who does those irritating Currys adverts.
Is that one of those furniture shops where, when you've paid, they plant a tree. When the tree has matured, been chopped down and seasoned for a bit they build the sofa. Then they ring you up and arrange delivery. By which time you've died.
That's exactly what I thought Milan (after i'd stopped laughing to myself). I never laughed in front of him (so he couldn't hear me) and then I immediately told him he was grounded for the remainder of the day!
Naturally as far as he is concerned I am now enemy number 1!
Last night, the missus and I decided to go to DFS (cos it's local) to look for and hopefully purchase a 2 seater sofa for one of my son's bedroom.
I rounded the missus and the kids up, told the kids to put there shoes on as I and the missus waited in the kitchen. We heard my other son ask his bro where we were going...his reply was 'Da ******* Sofa shop'! What a cracking tagine for a business! Laugh..I nearly wet myself....oh wait a minute I think I have............................
