A Stella if anyone is interested.

I went down to the warehouse a couple of Sundays ago for a recce to check out the quality and such. Nice people and comfy sofas and the place was packed out. Given it has no passing traffic so it's a destination shop only, I was impressed to find it so full.

Thanks!

What's your budget?

I probably need two medium sofas or a corner unit, ?1500??

Brought from both M&S and DFS in the past. I'd recommend both. Were only replaced because we moved or fancied a change - nothing to do with wear or quality.

We have an M&S sofa, it's very comfy and the construction is solid. The designs aren't exactly cutting edge, but there's a decent selection of styles and fabrics. The delivery men were very good too, they managed to get it in through the front sash window!

I used to have a crappy one from DSF/Courts/Land Of Leather/whatever, the carcass was made from chipboard held together with glue and staples. The M&S one has a solid wood frame and seems very sturdy.

Thanks Jeremy, very helpful.

I have bought all my sofas / armchairs from sofa workshop. They sometimes have very generous sales - my sofas I got on buy one get one free, the quality is good and they have a fair range of price points so there's something for most people.

The online range is usually cheaper (you get a more limited choice of fabrics) though they usually have those models in the shop so you can see them in the flesh (so to speak!). I need to know a sofa is comfy before buying and ended up buying something completely different to what I was planning last time round once I'd tested a few. Looking at the prices, it would probably still be top end of your budget but I still think they are pretty good value for money.

The branch on Tottenham Court Road were helpful when I was last buying armchairs.

Highly recommend Sofas and Stuff

Went to their Parsons Green showroom and they were very helpful. A huge range of sofas on display. Got 10% off my order and delivery in a month. Delivery men were great, took all the packaging away and made sure the sofa and chair were exactly where I wanted them

Huge thanks to all for all the excellent advice!
