Sofabedsworld - Any good?

Hi,

I need to buy a sofa bed. Came across this specialist site

http://www.sofabedsworld.co.uk/

Very cheap, but wary of not being able to visit a shop and try it out. Notice 'Unwanted goods' are subject to a £40 collection fee.

So anybody used them? Service good? Sofa's good enough to use as a main sofa?

Anywhere else worth considering?

I'd happily take 2nd hand but not much on Gumtree York at the moment. Frustrating as I used to do house clearance and would often be paid to take perfectly good sofabeds away!

    Guess that's not a good recommendation.

    ordered this item two weeks ago , it finally arrived as agreed on my date , but my happiness turned to horror, the metal tubes were all dented , scratched , bent , welding incomplete, also the bolts and nuts in the sealed pack were totally rusted .the box it arrived in was perfectly ok , no that only leaves the damage to be in production

    i called the call center who said they are really sorry,but they would call me , i explained i needed it for this week and was told " Ummm i don't think I will get one in the next few days " i am going to ask for my money back .

    I noticed on a posting earlier on the foroum they may charge me for unwanted items
