I Want a new sofa

Ok so I have finally conceeded and have decided we have to buy ourselves a nice new sofa.

Problem is i have never bought one brand new before and dont wish to get ripped off.

Where is best/cheapest/best value etc??

We've waited this long so 6,-12 weeks delivery will not be an issue.

Thanks for your help

    When it comes to sofa's I do really believe you get wot you pay for.

    But saying that , some of the really cheap ones advertized on tv are so cheap, perhaps they are only meant to last a few years:confused:

    Couple of tips , so many of the recent styes dont allow you to sit correctly AND have your feet on the floor....... the 'squab'???? is too wide
    ( or I am too short:D )

    Also try and pick up one side, if its really light... made of thin wood and wont last.

    Cant give you any examples , as my last one is over five years old
    (bought from the Funiture Village.. still happy)
