Thanks all
Looking for some good quality affordable NEW furniture though..any other suggestions 0 -
You're a bit !!!!!!ed there, as good quality furniture is expensive.
Good, Cheap, New - pick any two!0 -
Please, please, for your sanity do not try Harveys!
Sales, will tell you anything to get the deal. Moreover, their Customer Service is abysmal, think they'll ring you back - no chance. You want head office address to write to, they are not allowed to give it out, yes I'll repeat that - Customer service are not allowed to give out details of their Head Office or the name of the CEO.
Do not touch them with barge pole - you have been warned!
Other furniture, I was impressed with the 'look' of the furniture in Oaklands furniture.I used to work for Tesco - now retired - speciality Clubcard0 -
Looking for some good quality affordable NEW furniture
Try a website that isn't about moneysaving, maybe?
As with shockingly little effort you can restore or rehome a preloved but now too big or brown or white or whatever dining suite etc.
Unless you need to furnish an isolation bubble (& that all gets torched afterwards anyway) review your prejudices about second hand stuff as many folk buy, realise it isn't quite what they thought & move it along rather than return it.
As for quality - within reason the older, the better built - as the new stuff has a shorter expected lifespan, so you come back & consume more...
Finally, all this is just before Christmas. Folk are 'buying new for Christmas' so the secondhand market is a buyers dream...
Be really shrewd with every penny til the new year sales if you Must Buy New but get the second hand & it honestly doesn't matter if Great Aunt Enid spills her sherry/ Cousin Judy changes the new baby/ young Bill learns the hard way about vodka on it over the Festive season.0
