Does this sofa look dated to you?

[LaTristesse]

This one here

I need a reasonably cheap one quite quickly. I'm not sure whether this chunky cord stuff looks nice or dated? It's going in quite an ordinary room - cream walls, wood floor, no outstanding features. (No I'm not underselling it!) Thoughts anyone?

I rather like it. I like the chunky cord stuff - cosy.

But Asda though...? Would you?

It doesn't look dated because the long thing is in fashion at the moment.
And no, I wouldn't get one from Asda having experienced their appalling delivery services (or lack of!) before.

Honestly I think you have more of a problem buying from Asda than the style. Because it is cheap it will not be sprung and the cushions are probably cheap foam blocks compared to feather or even scrunched up fabric/foam which means in a year it is going to look really old, saggy and worn.

Could you buy second hand off ebay etc? You can get some absolute bargains on sofas etc.

I don't think the sofa is dated but the long bit sticking out is just very odd - the proportions are all wrong. You need a sofa with less bulk to have that addition imo.

I was going to suggest ebay as well.

Agree with the others better to pay the same for a second hand but quality sofa It will keep its shape and structure better for longer.Corner sofas only really work in very big spaces

Sorry i wouldn't pay £425 for this. And i agree with Nancy's post about the quality.

Tbh i dont like chaise-especially cheap ones. Either, you have the space and the cash for a big good corner sofa or get a small normal sofa. Ikea has some good and cheap small sofas and with removable washable covers in funky colours.

I get what you're saying about 2nd hand vs a cheap new one, but I have no means of picking up a sofa myself. God knows how I'm going to get shot of the old one yet either...
Interesting about the bad Asda experience - noted, thanks!
Thanks for the replies all...

Check Ikea

I think an Ektorp from IKEA is a much safer bet than the Asda one. Plus, IME, a cord sofa looks really shabby after a very short while.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about ASDA quality, but you probably get what you pay for with a sofa, no?

I really like that, Mine is DFS in the same soft cord in aubergine.
It's so soft and comfy to site on.
I wanted a corner one but it wouldn't fit my room.

Now I like the Ektorp, but am not feeling the flappy bits of fabric round the bottom, like a skirt. Prefer the tucked-in look... Any other suggestions?

You could freecycle the old one.

Top stuff people, thanks!

Marjoriew I thought about that, but then the cat peed on it. Don't think that would tempt anyone!

Freecycle the cat - then it won't pee on the new one:)

It's tempting, believe me!

Late to the thread, but I cant understand buying a sofa from mail order/on line without having a chance to sit on it first.....
