Buying sofa's

Can anyone recommend a good place to buy sofa's from.

I've been looking at a few of the 'shed' type warehouses - and the quality seems pretty poor.

I'm looking for a three piece suite for my mums place.

Thanks
WG

    Why not try Ebay? Some good quality suites on there at the moment. Look for the really good brands like G Plan, Duresta, Wesley Barrell -- they all have excellent frames and can be recovered if you like.

    Style: - traditional-ist
    Budget: - up to £2.5k (i know, I know, I would never pay this sort of money.....but its me mum aint it)

    I've looked at ebay a few times, but a lot of the decent brands are being sold in London (& I'm 3.5hr drive away/7hr round trip)....I'd really like to see it before I bid £1k on a second hand sofa that I need to spend £1k to recover. There was a really really nice one for sale...nr Glasgow.....I will keep looking though.

    Thanks for your suggestions
  • Well, if you are looking for a QUALITY traditional sofa for me there is only one place to go to Brights of Nettlebed

    You should be able to find something within your budget.

    Hope it helps.

    We struggled round loads of sheds last time but found something to suit us at BHS Home Store -not the cheapest- G Plan.

    Go to a barbers, and steal his Bench, the one he uses for the customers to sit.

    after taking it, put cusions on it......
