We need two new sofas for our dining room. I've seen some beautiful ones in John Lewis, the Barbican range, which I love - but they are not cheap. I know it's makes sense to go for expensive sofas if they last for years and years, but the problem is, we've got three children under 5 and they are the messiest little monkeys! No sofa is likely to survive them - or is it?
This morning I've been to Dwell and seen a sofa I really like (Paris range), at a considerable cheaper price. The quality seems good enough but I have no experience of buying from Dwell, what do you think? My husband thinks it makes no sense to spend a fortune on sofas that will be wrecked by the kids in no time particularly when the Dwell sofas look very good as well.
What would you do?? If we had no kids -or older kids- we would probably invest in the John Lewis, but is it worth it when you know the kids will have it crayoned over before we have time to sit down on it?
