Buying a Sofa, some help please!!

Hey, does anyone know of any good second hand shops for cheap suites/sofa? or what charity shops hold them, either in the belfast or Ballymena area?

Also has anyone ever bought a suite from Argos? Dont know whether to go second hand for a while or go straight for a new one now as we are in the middle of redecorating and have a load of Argos gift vouchers! however a little unsure of the quality of Argos suites, it would be a leather one we would be wishing to buy new.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :rotfl:

    There's a big charity shop at the bottom of the Newtownards Road, attached to the East Belfast Mission.

    For new, we just bought from Land Of Leather in one of their sales and got the suite very cheap. So far we're delighted with it.

  • I bought a leather suite (2 settees) from Argos about a year ago & no problems with the quality. they were better made than my previous from the Sofa Workshop! Had to wait a while for delivery though
  • what ever you do dont use csl! we have had nothing but trouble with them!

  • My leather suite came from Argos almost 3 years ago. £499ish for a 3 + 2 seater and its fabulous, retained its shape no sagging, perfect, unlike my previous one which came from a well known leather centre and cost 3 times the amount
    :rotfl: l love this site!! :rotfl:
  • Thanks guys, we've got about £600 in argos vouchers but like I said didnt want to spend the money if the quality wasn't good! x
