    It's a wardrobe for coats in the hall. We need less than 78cm so I'm limited on options and I wouldn't want it to sell out by leaving it too long.

    This might sound daft, but I'm assuming I can't take out over 50s insurance if I'm not actually over 50? :o:rotfl:

    Welllll, if you are never intending on actually claiming .............

    BUT if you can play the long game, M&S do have sales with 20% off furniture fairly frequently so it could well be worth waiting, but then that might risk it selling out (though I find that doubtful unless it is an end of range one). Those sales generally cover all their furniture.

    I personally am still waiting for Next to reduce a bed we want, annoyingly it has gone up by about £50 since we've seen it, was convinced it would be in the next sale and that was 15 months ago :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
