    Is it me or is the left hand sofa a different colour than the others in the leather? I thought it was just the light in the photo but its the same in the other pictures too :confused:
    It is, looks weird once you see it- well spotted.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    To me it is the second one on the left that is different, it is more reddish.

    Second in from the left and far right seem to be the same shade, the others dont :confused:

    They do all seem different shades though. I must admit I know its personal taste but I really dont like the design

    We`ve had it in the garage for 8 days !

    Yes, thats the one - its chenile fabric so does look funny in the photos! but its actually a really nice and comfy sofa!

    Still haven`t had a reply for the seller, he is also trading under a different user name now, so must have 2 accounts.

    If the communication was anything like it was when I was trying to arrange delivery, then I could be waiting for a response for awhile!

    It`s such a shame as the bloke was actually alright!

    If they are delivering themselves, there would be no tracking details so Paypal wouldn't have proof of delivery if buyer claimed non receipt and the seller would lose out every time a claim was made.
