    I don't suppose anyone from here has these sofas? I'm thinking about ordering the sofa and 2 chairs for my nan but wondered what they were like?

    I just found these deals still available on Marshall Ward's website, but unfortunately the two reviews said they wouldn't recommend them as they were unbelievably small and each would seat one person only, being more like a big armchair than a sofa. Sorry to disappoint those that have ordered them. :(

    I agree with elektra, I wouldn't order an item such as this without being able to see it or at least sit on it first.

    the 2 seater sofa is tiny...I got 2 ages ago same dimensions but slightly different arms (mine doesn't have the cushion bit over them)....they were like toy pretend and everyone laughed at me in a nice way lol....they are now through the toy room for the kids...

    in saying that I suppose it depends how big your rooms are....?????

    good bargain though...x

    I'm glad I got the larger sofa in that case! If the two seater only fits one person I'm gonna have fun trying to sit in the arm chairs though haha :o

    To be honest I don't think anyone ordering at that price is expecting something amazing so to speak, just value for the money spent and for those prices, as long as they are comfortable and you get a good couple of years out of them I can't see where you can go wrong.

    Mine are due for delivery next week but we're moving into our new place in August so they're going straight into storage... will try and steal a 5 minute sit down so I can report back!
  • has anyone got theirs yet?

    was wondering what they where like

    mine was down for delivery for tday but now its the 16th.....iv done the measurments of this suite and its basicalyy the same as the one iv got now so i dont think size is gonna be an issue for me and some of the comments arnt all bad on littlewoods site....all i would say is if you can beat the offer and get a leather suite for 340 delivered let us all know about it......

    hmmn, but it sounds like there's a very good reason this leather suite is only£340!

    agree with other poster - reviews are atrocious, i badly need a new suite but those reviews put me right off.

    Comments about Mc Cord "Panama" large sofa plus 2 chairs:
    I purchased this product for my conservatory, was amazed at how cheap I got it in the sale at less than half the orginal price. Both the large sofa itself and the chairs are extremely comfortable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others, beautiful colour and I've had remarks about how good it looks already. If I'm truthful I wasn't really expecting this sofa to amount to much due to the price but I was very wrong, quality item for the money.

    Comments about Mc Cord "Panama" large sofa plus 2 chairs:
    A very modern and comfortable suite, is quite firm but both myself and my partner prefer this. Smaller than we expected it to be but this was also beneficial as it fits in our sitting room perfectly. Goes great in a modern contemporary setting and very easy to clean. Arms are quite low and this may not suit everybody. Tones in brilliantly with oak furniture. A fab suite.
