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.

    • It’s not great, but this only happens when a business is in trouble and is facing bankruptcy. The landlords are free to say no. The restructuring will often then have to be approved by a High Court judge, so it’s not a total gun-to-the head. It does upset landlords quite a bit though, because if the business does go under, they’ll likely not see any pay out. So they often feel under pressure to comply. 
    • "Sitting around doing job related things". Do you mean sitting and doing their jobs? "have you had your COVID jabs?" Perhaps instead of spending your time on here insulting other posters, in this case me, you would be more effectively employed contacting the practice management with a detailed description of exactly what you say you saw and when. And then see what they say. You have made a lot of assumptions with presumably absolutely no idea what those people's jobs are or when their break times are. I am not defending the practice, which seems to have some problems  I just don't like seeing people who aren't here to defend themselves being publicly attacked by someone who apparently doesn't actually know what those people were doing and why.
    • Relatively recently, they employed a couple of young people on front desk work they were excellent. I don’t know if they’re still there. And yes, they may be doing something on their computers that’s important but when you see  people queuing and no one appearing for many minutes the system seems inefficient.  Some simple changes could make a big difference.  But those changes would have to come from management rather than individual workers choosing to jump up and help. 
    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.
