New Sofa time

[Lonewolf]

We went to Sofology today, didn’t like anything as the sofa’s too modern looking. Also gave DFS a nosey, I liked a few and the girlfriend also like one or two, only problem is we didn’t like the same thing.
Doesn’t help when our choice has to take into account cat claws.

My in-laws have a brown leather M&S sofa and their dog uses it as a bed. Not sure if dog claws are comparable but it is coping extremely well.

We walked into oakfurnitureland looking for a wardrobe and ended up buying a new sofa lol

It's the most comfortable thing I've ever sat on. Think it's called the goodwood, we got it in the suede grey.

We bought one from Swoon a few months ago. Not cheap, but not too expensive either. It seems decent.

You pay for what you get and I have only ever bought Duresta.

Pretty much anything Long Eaton based right?

Loaf is made in Long Eaton too, I wouldn't be surprised if it is under contract from someone like Duresta.

I think duresta sofas are made in Nottingham (long Eaton)

That's what I meant, oops!

Fyi OP I'm looking for a new sofa and I've found a great choice of nearly new stuff on eBay... Mega savings over RRP.

I got a Multiyork sofa about 9 years ago, still in reasonable condition, not sure what I'd do for my next one.

Multiyork died out in 2017 after going into administration

I absolutely agree with you, the goodwood was a great sofa and one of the most comfortable I found in our recent hunt. Unfortunately it wasn't so comfortable in leather and with young kids wipe-clean is still a must for me

Loaf do a material called smart velvet which opens up spill-resistant/wipe down a bit beyond leather. Probably nowhere near as comprehensive as leather but another option if they've grown out of it slightly.

Thanks, I've already ordered one now though. 12weeks delivery though

This, as you can buy some beautifully made sofas, even though they might be years old.

We recently bought an awesome Lignet Roset 3 seater sofa, that has a fully adjustable back which also can click down to become a double bed. Circa 2009 I think but hardly looked sat on and the quality of materials/manufacturing was incredible.

Buying a sofa from chain stores made of balsa wood and some rubbish leather is akin to buying a Persimmon new build

This is exactly what we do now. There is no pint paying many thousands for a quality sofa when you can get them from ebay for many hundreds instead. We have bought several Parker Knoll sofas and chairs from ebay sellers and have been more than happy. Once you know what you want search ebay and they will often appear.

We purchased a 3 seater and single seater electric recliners a couple of years ago from Sofology in the same range as below (in black with soft leather). I was wary ordering from Sofology due to bad reviews but after spending weeks/months looking we couldn't find any others we liked elsewhere.

In the end they turned out to be delivered on time as expected and no issues as of yet!

What was the old sofa time like?

How drab! I thought my monitor had broken in to greyscale mode for a second .

It's a black sofa, and no idea on the room as it's not ours - just an online image of what the sofa looks like.
