    The saving looks massive but I think the real saving is half price:

    * Please note item 6290807 has previously been on sale at £489.49.
    Current selling price valid until 17/02/2009

    cheap enough though. Can anyone comment on the quality of these?
  • yeh they look nice, but they always do in the pictures, do the larger Argos stores have these on display?

    I can't comment on the quality but would there have been anyone dumb enough to have shelled out over £1K for it? If only something could be done about misleading rrps
  • at that price, not even sure if the sofas are leather!!

    Well they are but they aren't if you get what I mean. Basically leather coated PVC

    Upholstered in a high quality leather/PVC combination

    • Upholstered in a high quality leather/PVC combination, with solid timber feet at the front stained to a mahogany finish, this suite is both stylish and practical.
    • Outer fabric 100% leather.
    • Inner fabric 100% PVC.
    I thought by this description that the bits we can see....arms, seat, back etc were leather and bits, like under the cushions, were PVC......am I just being naive?

    You are correct. In these kind of sofas the facing surfaces, like cushion tops, face of back rest, are leather, whilst the sides, back, all unseen surfaces are pvc. My friend got one from Sofa, Sofa and it was a good match unless you looked very closely.

    RRP is so misleading - on what planet was this ever a £1k sofa? You could buy a completely leather, top quality sofa from Marks and Spencer for that. Still, may be good value at the reduced price. You can always send it back I suppose.
  • Anybody seen these or reckon on the quality?
    I need a new sofa and was willing to spend around £500 - I'm a bit picky too and these look 100% perfect! So obviously would be good to save £130 - or would I be better spending £500 or so at a better company?
