Yuck. I think you and that sleazebag with the high sex drive are one and the same

Peckhamgatecrasher is right. If it is old, worn out, and you spent many weekends hunting high and low in vintage shops, flea markets, etc then it's awesome. It doesn't matter if it's too big or it sags in the middle, just imagine telling all your great chums how you stumbled across it and just had to have it!


However, if you order one from a regular shop then it's tasteless mass produced junk.

Ha Ha


I think what Jeremy is getting at is: Why spend a few hours looking for a tasteful leather sofa which will last you twenty years when you can spend the whole day going to Ikea to buy a horrible one for the same price - that lasts two years, and was shite in the first place.


Right, Jeremy?

Oi, when we first moved into the house we bought we literally filled it to the brim with Billy bookcases.

They're brillyant (geddit).


We slept in them, bathed among them, even put ornaments and books on some of them. And the best bit is that you can make a nice fire out of them after two weeks when they all fall apart.


Geni?s!!

I love Ikea, Jeremy - for some things. But ultimately it's a false economy, in terms of time and money. If (for the sake of argument) you get all your furniture there, I'll warrant that you'll spend more time going there, and more money re-buying furniture than I will during my lifetime.


So (putting the element of 'taste' aside, which is personal of course) your usual arguments of 'not being able to afford it' or 'not having the time' simply don't cut the mustard.


RE leather sofas, I believe the height of manfacturing excellence to the 1970s-1980s, where (Keef) I believe your wishes for soft, cosy leather could be accommodated - in style.

New sprayed leather as opposed to Tanned hide is not that nice ( a little sweaty unless you wish to invest serious money )

We have a couple of danish 60/70's vintage Stouby leather sofa's & they are quite beautifully distressed, in the winter we have dark brown sheepskin rugs on them .Add a log fire & you really can't complain about cold/ hot scenario




Grr

Have you considered hiring-out for porn shoots? There's good money in it. Or if not, you can at least stay and watch.

I now see where you're coming from but I'm afraid that your reply to PGC's deco taste contained about as much sarcasm and 'Klippancy' as a Swedish furniture designers sense of humour. If in future you want a post/message to convey a sense of either sarcasm or flippancy then I suggest think a little bit harder regarding the posts content and how it matches/mocks the post you're attempting to get a rise out of as to give us an ikea as to what you're going on about.

Schoolboy error Brendan - blood and sulphuric acid is no good at all for leather

I think we should put a stop to this. This lovely young lady asks a perfectly reasonable question and immediately gets inappropriately propositioned by Mr Wolf. The conversation then swiftly degenerates into people taking baths in amongst objects with frankly mucky sounding Scandinavian names and wild unsubstantiated claims about the physical properties of mustard. Then quids decides to do a Freddy Kruger on my old sofa.


Enough already.

    • Hi, The seller has already been restricted from making posts on the forum (including in the For Sale board) straight after you initially reported this. They do however still have access to their private messages so that they can contact you. If its clear that they have no intention of resolving then they will be permanently banned.   I would recommend making contact with the company as you will require evidence that the item is stolen if you plan to report this to the police. If so there is useful information on the Citizen's Advice website: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/somethings-gone-wrong-with-a-purchase/if-you-think-youve-bought-stolen-goods
    • That's like the cartoon of the person who goes to IKEA for tea lights, comes out laden with stuff and says "Damn, I forgot the tea lights"  😂 
    • Have you tried contacting the company the laptop belongs to? I expect they would be interested.....
    • Last week I bought a Galaxy Chromebook Go on this forum, the seller was not home when I went to pick it up, I texted him and he found an excuse apologized and said he could deliver,  I accepted and later that evening he delivered the item in the original box ... all seemed ok until my son (it was supposed to be a present for him) opened it and tried to log in his google account, to our surprise it stated that the laptop was property of a company and could not be used without authorization. We tried to contact the seller, and he initially provided some excuses, but after his initial responses, he stopped replying to our messages. I informed EDForum but no action has been taken as the seller is still present on the forum... I am very disappointed
