WANTED:Where to buy leather sofa's

I'm looking at buying a new 3 piece suit (3 seater and 2 singles) and I would like to ask all you bargain hunters, where is best place to buy from?

My preference is a rustic brown sofa with square edges.

I have a £1500 budget for this.

I visited most of the popular showrooms on Sunday and they were unwilling to budge on price (probably because I spoke to weekend staff and not someone with any authority).

In fact I could get a 3 seater and a 2 seater for £1500 from harveys, but it would cost over £2200 for a 3 seater and 2 one seaters.

Anyone got any ideas?

    Argos currently have a sale on where their (very nice looking) leather suites are reduced (including a very interesting one with recliners at either end I am pondering over - I do not need a sofa, I do not need a sofa :D )

    DFS have some leather suits around your budget. You could even win one in their comp.

    Hope you get what you want for the price you wish to pay.

    Good Luck.

    I bought a great leather sofa/chaise lounge at the Greenwich market (new) for £500.

    They offer free delivery in London area, prices are low as there is no overhead for showrooms - although I've read recently they do have a showroom in Wimbleton now.

    We've been really happy with the quality of our sofa. I highly recommend them.

    if you leave in central scotland I have posted a map link for a shop which sells returned orders etc. from marks & spencers etc for half shop price. I got a 3 seater leather sofa for £800. look on the scotland board if you live up here for more details. If not it is always worth checking if there is a similar factory shop near you, the prices will be similar to DFS but the quality is much higher and it will last much longer.

    Hi there,

    We have just got two lovely new brown leather sofas from Sofa Workshop, which I think MFI own, and who have concessions in MFI, but who are NOTHING like MFI in other respects (and they organise their own delivery etc) They are gorgeous and great quality.

    Here's the ones we got:

    Sorry the link's so long - don't know how to make it shorter!

    We're really pleased with them. I think we spent about £1300 on a large three seater and a two seater - but if you wanted a three seater and two armchairs, I think you're going to be over budget :( Anyway, just sticking my oar in, because we are so pleased with ours!
