Outlet/discount/warehouse furniture

Picklethekitten

Hi guys,

I have just bought my first house with my boyfriend and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to where we can buy cheap but good quality furniture? We both live with parents so have pretty much nothing to take with us furniturewise!

We have bought a dining table off gumtree but there are certain things that either he or I don't want to buy second hand, like mattress, bed or sofa. We are looking for a grey corner sofa and grey divan bed so nothing fancy.

I have heard that there are places you can go where the furniture is unbranded but they supply the bigger retailers such as Next and M&S but can't find them on Google - does anyone know of them?

Any tips would be great, we live in the East Midlands but can travel 100 or so miles.

Thanks in advance

Congratulations on your purchase!

Most of our furniture came from http://www.furniture-barn.co.uk/ and is lovely stuff. Sofas from http://www.sofasofa.co.uk/. If you want brand new but at a bit of a discount those are really good. Unfortunately SofaSofa is based in Wales and there is nowhere else to see/try out the sofas before you buy. However, they have a really good returns policy and the customer service is excellent, as are the sofas! My whole family have used them and have always been very happy with them.

If you are based in London, there is a Swoon Furniture warehouse sale in SE1 this weekend (I think until Sat!). We are hoping to go tomorrow!
