Anyone have these Sofas?

'Venice' suite from the usual Homebase / Argos type place.

I'm looking to buy a suite (1 large, 1 regular sofa) for < £600 thats in cream/white leather. Anyone got any recommendations?

Or does anyone actually have the above sofas and can vouch for them?

Cheers!

light coloured suites are a bad idea...

Why ?

Isn't it obvious? Harder to keep clean...staines...

Colour transfer from clothes too.

I'll try and be helpful now...the style is very cool but the colour isn't UNLESS you intend to cover them with a few blankets/throws when you have parties or whatever. Depends how careful you are.

Well, the walls are magnolia, and the carpet is blue. The room isn't the biggest so I thought lighter sofas would be better.

Black is an option too on that style.

Unless your prepared to spend a wee bit on cleaners and throws I wouldn't get light coloured sofa's.

To answer your question the sofa's are ok but again colour wise I wouldn't get them.

same ones, but in black.

Black will show up seaman stains more

j/k

I've got to say having a second look at those the large one looks ok, but the little one looks a little bit too squashed

Get dark brown leather.

When did are culture all of sudden have the need for sofa and chairs in the house, what was wrong with standing, or sitting on a carpeted floor?

Hate · 3 Aug 2008 at 19:37

The smaller one (i've sat in one a similar size) is OK for 1 person, but its not curl uppable on. Alas the room only allows for one that size

Parents just got new lounge decor n suite. Got light coloured suite and throws on both couches, looks nice and suits the room.
If you're scared of stains then don't eat/drink in the room or let people lounge all over them in dirty/wet clothes

No, just a well known goalie. He does all my staining.
