Hello,

just wondering where the good folk of east dulwich get their sofas these days. I'm fed up of our tatty freecycle sofa but don't really know where to start looking - Ikea is out of the question as their sofas are too uncomfortable, any suggestions? Are DFS too awful for words, or worth considering?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Just a bit fed up of always having second-hand sofas that are never quite right. I appreciate the suggestion though

we got ours from Nabru who were great. They do modular furntiure so you can effectively design whatever you want. Its also useful as they come and assemble it in your home some no problems fitting large items through narrow doors/window removal etc. All their covers are removable with fire and stain treatment too. We got a huge suede corner sofa with a double sofa bed in it for ?800 - less than DFS at the time but far better quality.

Take a trip out toward Battersea rise just before you get to Northcote Rd on eitherside, there are a few shops with "deals" going on, but how much are you looking -ish at spending ?


There is always the frame & own fabric route with a decent upholsterer & it's not as expensive as it sounds.

    • No offence, but why not start from the assumption that the trees team in Southwark Council know what they're doing because it's their job and aren't a bunch of ecogenocidal maniacs looking for excuses to cut back trees? I'm not an expert but if they're not coming back to cut down the rest, then it seems like pollarding. It always looks ugly at first. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollarding
    • It looks like the branches overhung the entry way to the toilets. There's a lot of paranoia about at the moment about branch drop after a couple of sad accidents which have happened recently where beloved trees were propped up but still dropped branches then everyone jumps up and asks why nothing was done before. You might remember when the massive oak fell over in Peckham Rye by the skating park, thankfully no one was hurt.  I've noticed notices in almost every public space warning about branch drop and some trees have had barriers put underneath them etc. These things seem to come into vogue and then pass again.  I expect local authorities in their regular meetings have all been discussing their risk exposure and issues of corporate responsibility etc....and someone will have been assigned the task (and responsibility) of making everything all right. Perhaps this tree fell victim to that. I doubt there is malice and something they feel is safer/appropriate etc will take its place in due course.  I don't doubt cutting it back is an over reaction but at the same time we all bellow at them when things go wrong so there is a difficult path to navigate. It was a chestnut by the look of it, so not particularly rare I have plenty of saplings growing through my beds if they wish to replace like for like.   
    • it was super odd... my first instinct was perhaps this individual was lost or needed help... but when they just stood there looking me dead in the eyes it felt intimidating.  i did call 101 and they were super helpful and seems like i wasnt the only one that rang that night. thanks for the help and advice ... really appreciate it 🙂
    • They don't normally come to somebody's front door specifically to stick their tongues out, having had no prior contact with that person. 🙄
