Does anyone have a list of local factory shops in S Wales please? I seem to remember seeing one on this site but have searched and come up with nothing.
Also can anyone tell me if SofaSofa has a factory shop please as I am after a leather sofa for my mother who is near to Tredegar. Thanks.

    i got my first sofa years ago from a sofa factory near aberkenfig, bridgend.

    i can't for the life of me remember the name of it, and i don't know if it was really cheaper than somewhere like dfs etc
  • SofaSofa has an outlet at the garden centre on the A48 nr St Mellons junction with A48(M), I think it's call Jardinerie, not to be confused with the Wyevale garden centre in Castleton.

    Love the picture Lisa, looks familiar!

    Always Poor, thanks for the info.
    Is that a normal price retail outlet or is it a discount place please?
  • I don't know. I don't think they have discounted outlets. When you walk around it though it seems a bit like a factory shop, it's not very fancy like DFS!
  • The sofa sofa place in St Mellons is not a discount place it's just one of the main stores (I think they only have about 3 anyway) but the sofas there are really good quality and are much cheaper than DFS etc as I don't think they provide the credit facilities that other chains do.

    The other thing is that they are constantly having a sale so it's worth bearing that in mind also.

    Hope this helps
