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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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...
