nabru sofa beds

Ive had mine 2.5 yrs and it still looks as good as new. It doesnt creak at all... just make sure you put all the pieces together and firmly in their places. My dealings with this company have always been good and on my 2nd order they threw a few cushions in for free.

THese sofas are stronger than any other sofa I have had, previous one was an Ikea sofa which put up with all sorts, people jumping over them etc.

They are comfy and look great.

The reason they are cheaper is because they are transporting flat packed, so they dont have the costs involved of putting a sofa together etc and then transporting it.

The quality of build though is 100 times more than a ready built sofa.

i got my sofa yesterday i went for the atto 3 + 4 corner sofa and it cost £785 we ordered the sample fabrics first which arrived the very next day ! super .. we decided to go for the max in mink.

it was delivered 2 days later on a pallet shrink wrapped and the lorry driver helped unload the bits into my house which was good of him
when i had all the bits in the front room i sort ov thought OMG wat have i done as there was so many pieces of mdf and to be honest it looked tacky however the cusions all looked fab so we decided to go ahead and build the thing. building it was fairly easy if your good at that sort of thing however it would have made it even better if the pieces had of been labelled as matching the bits to the drawings was a little difficault when they all look pretty similar, however it all went together and took around 2 1/1 hrs between 2 ppl and i have to say it didnt look tacky any more it looked amazing!
the way it all fits is fantastic and id say the main tip is if it doesnt just simply slot in its not the right piece as evrythin fits like a glove. the structure is so sturdy and strong im sure u could get an elephant to sit on it.
I wont lie as it is fiddly getting the fabrics to be perfect and you sort of become ocd whilst doing this!
Now its got pride of place in my living room i cant belive it looks so good its so comfortable too , i went for the softer seating option it is quite firm but nabru say it should soften over a few weeks to be just right.
I honestly cannot fault this company their customer service was fantastic when i called and thier correspondence has been great all the way through i dont know why people would want to spend 2 -3 k in dfs or the likes when these seem much stronger once built and so stylish.

If i had any faults to pik there would only be 2 :

scotch gaurd is basically, they send the cans of spray for you to do yourself , which for me is a pain as i have a 6 month old baby in the house and you need to vent the area for 12 hrs ...nearly impossible for me !

the parts are not labelled like abc and so on , this would make it much simpler to build and problay half the time too !

I will definately use them again in the future and will never go to a "normal" sofa shop again ever
LONG LIVE NABRU !!!

I agree on the scotch guard this should be done at the factory and impregnated as the spray is not very good I dont find.

Seeing the reviews on here made me go ahead and by my sofa, which I love. However if I'd known it would take me 8 hours (9 hours with breaks included!) to put it together I'm not so sure I would have purchased it!

The instructions really are pretty hopeless, and I cannot believe the parts arrive unlabelled. I spent two hours recognising (this is tricky in it self) and meticulously labelling each part as I unloaded them from the pallet. I followed the instructions, again meticulously, and although the sofa looks good if you look closer you can see that the backs dont fit together properly and the foam shows in small areas where it was impossible to stretch the fabric any further. If you dont mind this and if you have time to put it together (hopefully with a friend who will patiently help you without getting frustrated and ending in an argument!) then go ahead and buy, they are very well priced and once put together good quality - although moving house might be a problem as they are very heavy and the sofa will need to be dismantled some what-make sure you have the sofa in its correct place before building! I opted to have both hard and soft seating - however the instructions don't cover this, and I still havent summed up the energy to work out exactly how this is meant to work.

Final words, make sure you can leave the sofa outside until you have time to build the sofa (it's unlikely you will get the pallet through the door and the delivery guy won't be able to help you), that you have at least 8 hours and that you have plenty of space to distibute all the parts and preferably no other people around (especially not children - I came away with a couple of small injuries!). Otherwise it will be extremely stressful!

I read the reviews, I ordered samples and we designed our own corner suite to be the main feature in our newly built conservatory. It arrived as promised in a few days the driver being very helpful and leaving it directly adjacent to the rear conservatory doors. I tend to agree with gstephens, the instructions leave a lot to be desired, I never did figure hard and soft seating so opted for just the soft but pushing the frames into the cushions left me feeling this was not how it was meant to fit. I persevered and likewise the fabric didn’t stretch enough to entirely cover the wood. The cushions had stray fibres that needed cutting and wood dust from the MDF spread everywhere but in a day by myself I had it built and looking pretty good. Overall the construction is very rugged, being solid three quarter MDF I had no doubts about its durability; I found it very comfortable and easy to relax on. However the wife never got over the initial frustrations and was never settled or comfortable with it so reluctantly I spoke to Nabru and true to their word they agreed to take it all back. The wife ordered a corner unit from DFS costing over twice the price with a 6 week delivery date and I dismantled and palletised the suite in just over an hour, it was collected the next day and within a week I was refunded. Nabru are good to their word, at no stage was I pressured to keep it and I now have total confidence in them, enough to order a sofa bed later in the year.

9 hours to construct??? I am thinking you are not the best with your hands. I bought my sofa in 2006 (1.5 hours to construct) and it is still going strong. I recently noticed that fabric had been a little damaged and called NABRU to see if it could be replaced. I was advised that the fabric was no longer available but he asked for me to send it back so that he could check in the warehouse for old material. Unfortunately no fabric could be located so he called me to suggest that his sewing team could take a section from the rear and do a repair. This was done and I received it back within in a few days - all for free!!!!!

Excellent service all round

Had my Nabru Corner Sofa for 4 months and absolutely love it, best thing I ever did was buy it. I was abit sceptical as they just seemed too good to be true and I did alot of research before I even thought about ordering a sofa. Designed a corner sofa in colours and fabric I wanted and just fell in love with it. I rang Nabru first to speak to someone just to make sure they were actually real lol. I ordered the sofa in the end and could not believe how quick the delivery date was. Ordered it on the Thursday, it came the following Tuesday!! Came on a pallet as descirbed and did not look like a sofa. Took me and my husband about 2 hours to build, do think they do need to label the parts. Cushions are so comfortable and I love the fabric. Very durable for my 3 children. Havent dealt with customer service as of yet for anything but I dont expect to for a long time to come. Deffinately recommend this company, absolute bargain and as I said best thing I ever bought for our house

I have been looking at this company and have had the fabric samples too.

I know that it says and reviewers say that its strong, but some of my family members are rather chunky/obese etc and I am worried that when they throw themselves onto the sofa, the MDF will crack..... Like my current, old MFI sofa.

No they are seriously very strong.

Dont worry about it they are very strong sofas and will take a lot of abuse. Ive had house parties since people dancing on the sofa and everything, all it needed was a quick fluff up of the cushions and all was good!

Don't do it. The company charged £15 for "delivery" of some additional fabric to cover a chair which then was delivered by the Royal Mail for £7.84. The company have refund to refund the additional charge. Their customer service has been inadequate & at times rude.
