Sofalistic - has anyone purchased a sofa from this site?

I'm looking to update my spare room for my kids to use as a chill out room. I'd like to put a sofa bed or corner sofa in there but can't stretch to a brand new one and everything on FB market place looks like a scam these days (beautiful new looking sofas going for £20!).

I have come across this site, Sofalistic which sells secondhand sofas via the owner, it looks good and the reviews look good but with so many scams out there these days I'm not sure what to think.

Has anyone purchased a sofa this way?

I have bought perfectly nice sofas from Facebook for £20. Sofas are essentially worthless once no longer new and you have to pay the council to take them away if you don’t have a vehicle to get them to tip. Also environmentally awful when in perfectly usable condition. I have a sofa surfing labrador and scratchy cats so anything new would just be ruined.

Wish I could find a good sofa for £20. All those I ever see on FB are scams sadly. The ones for £20 are as shabby as hell.
