We are looking for a new sofa for our new house. I'm happy to go with leather but my husband has chosen this. He loves it. I think it looks like a huge turd! Please tell me it's not just me.

Or red and white, because it would look like Mr Hanky the Christmas Poo.

LavenderRain · 22/02/2016 11:32

2K for a shit sofa!

《faints》

Fontella · 22/02/2016 11:44

Um, maybe you could jazz it up with some non-turdy cushions?

Yeah giant ones - that obscure it completely.

It's not just the colour that's shit. The design is shit as well.

It looks like some kind of spa therapy sofa that will start vibrating andslendertone your muscles or jacuzzi like jets of water will shoot out of the buttonholes.

Ludways · 22/02/2016 11:45

LTB, that's fucking hideous!

Lemond1fficult · 22/02/2016 12:03

Surely you could compromise on something similar in a non-turdy colour that you both quite like?

liz70 · 22/02/2016 12:10

Put some beige coloured cushions on it and imagine it as a giant bourbon cream with the top bitten off. Would that help?

MissingPanda · 22/02/2016 12:21

That is horrible! Your DP obviously has shit taste Wink

RubbleBubble00 · 22/02/2016 12:25

If small person throws up on it - nightmare to clean

ILoveACornishPasty · 22/02/2016 12:55

Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo!!! GrinGrin

The back is too low and you would slouch down into the sofa like sinking into a great big.................poo!

timemaychangeme · 22/02/2016 13:25

It looks as if it's been made out of glued together chocolate bourbon biscuits.

ILoveACornishPasty · 22/02/2016 13:59

Well Time I do believe you win the prize for the kindest description so far! Don't suppose you want a new husband?? Ha ha bless him I think he's going to admit defeat on this one...eventually!

your DH needs to go to the pub with SilentlyScreaming upthread - they can mourn the demise of their poo sofa dreams together.

squizita · 22/02/2016 15:30

OMG Yes it looks like someone fed my 18 month old too much banana and egg then put her in a warm bath. What a floater. Shock

ladymalfoy · 22/02/2016 15:44

Classics!

LovelyFriend · 22/02/2016 16:04

I'm reading him the replies and he says he won't budge.

That's more of a 1 - often followed by a 6 or 7. Grin

toomuchtooold · 22/02/2016 16:47

That looks like what I find in the potty after my kid has eaten half a pound of blueberries.

pigsDOfly · 22/02/2016 16:55

It really does look like a giant poo.

I was lurking on here yesterday and when I clicked on it again today, up it popped, just as ugly and shitty as it was yesterday.

It's definitely not just you OP.

BigDamnHero · 22/02/2016 17:33

That is one ugly turd/sofa!

Love this thread, though. Reminds me of the glittery Facebook crap threads.

In fact, I'd rather buy a load of glitter-dipped glasses from Facebook, put them in a bin bag, smash them up a bit so it's like a big horrendously painful beanbag and sit on that than sit of the turd sofa.

lazyarse123 · 22/02/2016 17:58

It's truly horrible, i hate my sofa but compared to that it's beginning to look quite attractive. Thanks for the laugh it's been brilliant.

Sallyhasleftthebuilding · 22/02/2016 18:13

I found you some new wall paper

It's just awful :(

NeckingtheNightNurse · 22/02/2016 18:32

Hilarious !!!! GrinGrinGrin

ILoveACornishPasty · 22/02/2016 18:32

One of my friends once made a complimentary thread about a Fat Face (I think) product and in the end it had so many comments that Fat Face sent her a freebie. I'm somewhat concerned that I may get letter from DFS suing for compensation. Which would be preferable to them giving me a free turd sofa....

It's horrible even DH who likes leather thought it looked like a turd. Bet DFS don't shift many of those...
