Dear everyone,
My wife and I would like to purchase a sofa. We have been searching around and currently found some in Sofology and Denlli https://www.denelli.co.uk/ 
I have read some bad review about Sofology and I wonder if anyone could share any experience on Denlli? Currently Denlli is on sale and there is interest free finance offer which seems attractive to us. There are some sofas in Denlli look good but I wonder if the quality is as good as the look.

Thanks everyone in advance!

    right, I purchased Denelli sofa today, I was told it was designed in Italy and made in China, it can be made in Italy but the price will be double. I will update this post when i receive the sofa, fingers crossed!

    That wouldn't have filled me with confidence.

    why? because it is made in China? I guess most products nowadays are made in China?

    Me neither, then again most DFS sofas are made in the U.K. , I had one a good few years ago and wasn’t impressed with that either

    DFS own Sofology and both have some bad reviews. My sofa was shipped from China and arrived damaged and the quality is definitely not the same as you see in store or online.

    You didn't exactly give people much time to respond to your request for feedback.
    You asked the question then purchased less than 10 hours later.
    I guess you'll get what you get when it arrives.

    No, not because it's made in China, but because they've already told you they're making your lovely new sofa as cheaply as they can.  If price is more important to you than quality then that's fine, but you started this thread concerned about quality.  You didn't wait for any feedback on that and have bought on price grounds instead.

    well, I don't think it affects this post as I am still listening to people's constructive views.
    I have also searched DFS/Sofology, guess what some people gave very positive reviews but some gave very negative. Unless spent huge on sofa, we probably couldn't avoid it. But more feedbacks the better. 
    I don't think just because it was made in China, the quality becomes a concern. It would happen else where. The post is mainly for people who got experience with Denelli and willing to share their experience.

    That's great, and other people may benefit from this thread, but how is any feedback going to be of any help to you now?  What will you do if half a dozen people pop up today with terrible reviews?

    But doesn't it make sense to listen to constructive views before you part with what is probably a fair amount of dosh?
