Have to agree! Got mine from here, over 10 years ago (probably nearer to 16!) and I am only having to replace it now. My daughter left home last year and got hers from them and the customer service is excellent. I was worried about buying without trying but everything was fine.

If you look on ebay - you can get exactly the same sofas that have come from the same factory, but at half the price that the high street sellers have them (even in the sale)
Example: Look at this corner sofa at DFS:
You get the corner sofa, a swivel chair and a footstool for £749.00
And that was the first one i looked at - you can probably do even better. Dont ever buy from the high street sofa sellers!!

Wow, didn't know that you can get the same sofas direct from the manufacturer, especially through eBay. I'm assuming that they're the same quality?
