Low(er) cost sofas/corner sofas from ebay, used and the like

[Buffman]

I should (all things going to plan ) be buying my first non rented home in a month or two. I'd like to buy a corner sofa and realised that there are many independent suppliers on ebay and the like that are significantly cheaper (eg £3-500 mark rather than 800-1200 mark from DFS/sofology and the like).

Has anyone bought furniture from smaller independants off ebay? What was the quality/delivery/experience like?

Has anyone bought any used sofas from ebay/gumtree etc? (guess it's a bit of a mixed bag?)

And also, generally can a 3 seater corner sofa fit through most doors? (for delivering it)

https://www.nabru.co.uk seems to get a good write up, but I've no experience of them myself.

I am considering nabru, there's a few threads on here with positive reviews (I'm tempted to bump one).

As for second hand furniture I'm not a prude and would consider them! (I guess the only issue is choice, dimensions and delivery )

In terms of what im looking for in particular it would be long lasting quality, I can pay up to about £1k for the right type of sofa. My only concern with nabru is they may not last?

Luckily I have a bed already! (that I would tend not to scrimp on)...

Any other good outlets in the West Midlands? I've read ( I think from a search on this forum) that here is good

I've never really heard of people paranoid about woodworm infestations tho??
