Terrible company. Bought some stuff from them a couple of years or so ago, when I say some stuff I mean two expensive leather setees. There was a delay in the property purchase and they totally refused to delay delivery in any way whatsoever. They delivered to my address just days before we moved out. >:( B****rds
I ordered some other stuff from Oak Furnitureland and they were absolutely brilliant :y They couldn't have been more helpful

You can do without such headaches during such a stressful time. You can, of course, just tell yourself that they've lost any future business you may have put their way, but I doubt they would give a toss. They know folk just can't resist a £1200 sofa for £25 a month.
-
Don't tell me, it is their biggest ever sale.
-
Probably. The wife seemed pretty overwhelmed ;D

It's amazing that people go for those deals. EG: ONLY £25 A MONTH !! (for the next 50 years).
If you can't afford it DON'T BUY IT !

I disagree. We could easily afford to pay cash for what we bought, but it costs no more to spread it into almost negligible monthly payments. When we have paid for this one, we'll chuck it and do it all again. :)

Well I spose, but I just hate the long term commitment. Never know what the future holds financially, well I don't. Ah yes, Mrs S's state pension ! Nearby we have one of those shops Bright Homes or something. Everything is stupidly expensive, they don't expect or want you to pay in one go. All aimed at ppl on benefits who want the latest crap.

Totally different, Rog. That was originally a Crazy George's, then Brighthouse and it's now Perfect Home. They should really have renamed it Chav World. Total rip off but it's the only way Wayne and Waynetta can get a 50" TV and a Smeg for £20 a week from their benefit money.
DFS is positively saintly compared to that lot.

I bought a 6 piece suite from them a few years ago. Superb quality, £1400 on interest free credit, came with a complete set of new covers which we never used. The only reason it went was it was slightly too big for our room, We replaced it last year with a set of G-plan which was the only 6 piece we could find of the appropriate size. Not built to half the quality of the DFS one, and cost at least twice as much. :y
-
6 piece? That room must be some size.

And I didn't think the back of a Shackleton was that spacious.

Just to be clear.
The quality etc of the DFS stuff is really pretty good. It's just service and attitude I have a real problem with.

Nope. Still pissed off at 'em. Had to move two settees in the back of cars as the removal men had already emptied the house.

Try to move on. Harbouring feelings of rage is not good for your blood pressure. Have you considered counselling?

No. But unlike all the saddos ;) nice people who spend their Saturday nights on here (ahem), I'm off out :y

I work in the furniture industry and its the standing joke that when DFS dont have a sale on its the day they have gone pop. It makes us look a joke though when we do have a genuine sale though

OK, Rog, I hope the rain hasn't made the field all wet and slippy for you both.

They'll be fine as Rog will be wearing his wellies with the little straps on the sides. :)
It's the law in Wales! ;D

Settee, 3 armchairs, two footstools, not so much. :y

Our last sofa(s) cost £30 from Ebay.
£10 for an unmarked 2 year old Laura Ashley 3 seater.
£10 for an unmarked 2 year old Laura Ashley 2 seater
£10 for an unmarked 2 year old Laura Ashley chair.
Young couple in their twenties bought it brand new when they moved into their (also brand new)Persimmon home......complete with two brand cars on the drive.
She, especially, couldn't wait to get rid of it as she liked everything to be brand new. Thinking about it now I should have charged them for taking it away.
Later found it online for the thick end of £3000. :y

What is it with young couples these days ? Everything has to be designer this or "certain label" that along with stupidly expensive weddings somewhere exotic. All trying to live the Beckham lifestyle.
Anyway, last furniture we bought was two enormous leather recliners, as new. High quality. You could sleep on them. Local auction £120 the pair. These would easilly be £700 to £1000 each new. This local auction has some great deals, but you need to wait until something you like comes along. We recently saw a very decent leather Chesterfield 3 piece go for £30. It just wasn't what we wanted. There is also a load of crap, but that's the nature of auctions. And of course no warranties etc
-
We got this rather large piece from a discount place in Sheffield. It cost us £295. Inside one of the drawers is a brass plate with 'Willis & Gambier' engraved on it. I can't find the exact piece online, as it is an end of line, but similar ones cost around £1100.

Your slippers make me envious.

If memory serves I think they got hitched and took their honeymoon in the Seychelles.
She didn't seem like a Skegness type of girl to me. :)

Yes..judging by the colour of the two lads who carried it in. I thought one of them was about to expire. :o

Looks like their normandy range with a diffrent handle. The price is very good for that. Im pretty sure they wouldnt have paid much more for it than you brought it for :y :y
