New DFS Sofa, Not Keen should i sell?!

Flipped27

OK, my new sofa arrived two days ago...my first reaction was that I hated it! I was in tears for alot of the day as it just seems so huge..

SO.....hubby has agreed if I still don't like it in 6 months we can sell it on ebay and buy a cheaper one from Sofasofa.

I think I would probably only get about £800 if I am lucky (it cost us £1400 over 4 yrs interest free) and the one i like in Sofasofa is £800....

Would this be incredibly stupid of me?!

ps For what its worth, i like the sofa a lot more now, its growing on me, and the kids and hubby love it....

Keep it...

I'm sure over time you will get used to it. We bought a 3/2/1 suite from DFS and for the first few days it looked enormous but then it just blended in.

Thanks, that helps...it certainly doesn't seem QUITE as big now as it did when it first arrived.

I am really worried about people spilling things on it too....what on earth made me spend so much on a sofa?!

Which sofa did you buy out of curiosity as when my DFS sofa arrived I thought I had made a huge mistake! However, after living with it for a week, it grew and grew on me and now I love it. Yes it is big, but it is sooooo comfortable. I love it.
I think you will grow into it as you obviously liked it in the showroom enough to buy it. Stick with it. Your hubby has good sense.

We bought this one:

But instead of black with cream we got brown with cream....it is enormous!! Am so glad that you love yours now, it means there may be hope for me yet....

£1400!! Was this in a sale? How much was it supposed to be? I can never imagine spending more than £800 on a sofa lol

Edit: Link answers my question.

It was supposed to be in "the sale" but I am pretty sure that DFS sales are a little bit made up - no part of me believes that the sofa ever sold for £2500!!!

No, I am not quite sure what we were thinking spending so much?!

It is a nice sofa though, exactly what we are looking for...shame we're brassic

Thanks. So are we - we got in on interest free for 4 years.......it seemed like a really good idea at the time...

Oh but if you are looking for a cheaper corner sofa - this one?

If it helps I much prefer the DFS one other one looks cheap and has the type of open weave fabric that attracts dirt
