I want to buy a 3 piece sofa set HELP PLEASE!!

I want to get a 3 piece leather sofa set been to dfs and scs and lost really with regards when to buy, I'm worried if I leave it too late the prices will shoot up after the sales but I'm not sure whether to hold out untill they reduce them further, can anyone please advice when to buy please.

  • hmm... when was the last time you saw a DFS advert on the telly for "we are not having a sale, you won't need to pay for 4 years interest free" ?

    I would much rather spend my time finding a quality piece of furniture.
    eg - if it's leather - then the cushions can be lifted out... (important for leather )

    I have had a couple of sofas from DFS... never again... they are cheap and nasty and just won't last.

    Good luck with your search....

    I was told at SCS that prices star rising again after this weekend coming. Apparently this time of year is the chaepest throughout the year.

    They would say that of course but I think I believed him.

    Marks and Spencer have all of their furniture reduced upto to 50%. I bought my last suite second hand from ebay for £175 in perfect condition 5 yrs ago. It's now 10 years old and need replacing (young kids!).
    Iwent into the store and bought two large 2seater sofas for £900 with 2 yrs 0%.
    At least you know there is better customer services at M&S if things go wrong.
