Confused about sofa suppliers

Help! I've been trying to do my due diligence on sofa suppliers. :undecided We've shortlisted to two, one in sofology and one in barker and stonehouse. The trustpilot reviews, look a bit suspicious to me for sofology, so I was wondering what people's recent experiences were for both companies, esp. for purchasing a leather suite.
Thank you for any feedback :T

  • Take a look over on the consumer rights, and the vents and warnings boards - there's a few threads about Sofology sofas so do make sure the one you like isn't one of those!
    My business sells a lot of clearance stock from Barker & Stonehouse's suppliers as well as the odd bit from Sofology, and B&S are definitely higher quality although not cheap.
    My advice is find something you like in B&S and then have a good search online to see if anyone has it cheaper :) You never know!
    If you want to know how long it will last, go on eBay and do a search for the sofa you're interested in under "used" - that will show you how they look after a few years of use.
    Well informed on the subjects of sofas and wood furniture, and well opinionated on everything else :rotfl:

    If you are reluctant to do business with the DFS group then Sofology was recently taken over by them.

    Will the sofa fit through the front door?

    We've had our chesterfield from Thomas Lloyd since 1992. Only now is it wearing on edge of cushions and suffering from a big lummock flopping down on it.
