Were doing up a 100 year old stone house slate roof etc and have been decorating in keeping with the house age.
Come to buy sofas. I know a sofa for £500 with a free carpet isnt going to be of great quality so we opted for a Lazeboy from Costco for £1450 for a 3 seat chesterfield.
The four feet sit squint, the middle supportive foot underneath you dont see is about 15mm off the floor! and the frame which you can see through a zipped opening is the usual mix of cheap ply and the odd missfired nail from a nail gun. Its utter sh*te!
I know you get ripped off paying full retail in these furniture sheds that always have a sale because the stuff isnt actually worth the full retail price it supposedly was. We went Costco because youve got great hassle free returns etc and they normally sell decent stuff, but this seems no better than DFS's finest.
Ive looked online at the likes of Saxon in Bolton and a few places in Wales.
Am I looking for something that doesnt exist these days, a good well made sofa that will last a good 20 year?
Thanks
