Need a Cheap Cheap Sofa

jimmmeh_2

Hey guys, I am moving to Norwich with my girlfriend in a couple of weeks. It's the first time we will be living together and we are both just out of university so are a bit broke! Basically we are looking to get a decent size 2/3 seater couch for our new place. Fabric preferably as the girlfriend aint too keen on leather. Thing is, we only have about £200 (including delivery) to spend on it and from looking online it isn't giving us much choice :S We have tried freecycle and ebay and aren't really getting too far! If anyone could offer us any advice/share any links where we might get ourselves a semi decent comfy couch for about £200 we would be VERY appreciative!

Thanks guys!

Go and see the people who sell furniture locally, on the industrial estate I have a pitch in there's a sofa place, and they take back people's old stuff when they deliver new, it's amazing what just ends up in the skip.

Some people must buy a new suite every year...

Try your local freecycle. You'll be amazed at some of the stuff people are looking to get rid off.

EDIT - sorry Jimmmeh, I see you've tried your local freecycle. Maybe try some others nearby?

Also, keep checking EADT, & see if your local charity shops have a furniture outlet. British Heart Foundation have one in Ipswich, most of it is 2nd hand, but some is production 2nds.

Well worth a try, last week got a cream 3 seater Habitat sofa with removable covers in very good nick. Have noticed several others come up this week also.
