Large battered leather chesterfield sofa wanted

Norma_Desmond

I've looked on eBay and searched second-hand shops but boy! do they go for a price.....I don't want to buy new because the quality just isn't there, and besides it needs to fit in with the rest of my scruff.......er, 'shabby chic' home. Any ideas? It needs to be basically sound, a 3-seater, and preferably in oxblood or dark green. Any ideas?

it's a tough one as they are still so fashionable. E-bay sellers have cottoned on to this and charge a massive mark up

The only other idea is to look in local magazines or papers.

most of them do have a web page so you can look online. I don't know where you are..but I think most towns have a "www.thisisxxxxx.co.uk" (all the x's being the name of the town - eg: https://www.thisisgrimsby.co.uk) you could pick towns near and see if thye have any in their classifieds

here is an example from the grimsby site

hope this helps

Keep your eye on the freecycle groups local to you too as a chesterfield went on my local group just last week.

Wow! I would have snapped that up for £100 if I was closer to Grimsby! Thing is I live in a very remote area and although I've got an estate car, I realise that I'm probably going to have to use a courier to transport the thing (when I get it). I'll keep hunting!

what about pre loved?

Thanks Claudius - I'll check pre-loved too - it's just offering new sofas on eBay at the moment.
