DF had asked me help her choose a colour as she thinks they're "fab" I can't get my head around them!

Hope she doesn't read this thread...

They'll look great in the right room with the right styling. It's all about context.

Longdistance · 27/04/2017 22:55

It's a different taste.

I wouldn't buy them, but actually, they do look comfy.

honeyroar · 27/04/2017 22:55

It does look like pant liner material!

Yuk.

DontTouchTheMoustache · 27/04/2017 22:56

I'd go for the slate if I was choosing, but I probably wouldn't choose them.

Crunchymum · 27/04/2017 22:58

Thanks for clicky (how lazy am I? Grin)

Wouldn't dream of it being my main sofa but don't completely hate it?

Crunchymum · 27/04/2017 22:58

Yes yes to the thread being a bit mean OP.

nakedscientist · 27/04/2017 22:59

I love them in green!

Chavelita · 27/04/2017 23:00

Nope, they're quite fun. Ugly sofas are those puffy cream-coloured or brown leather corner ones that make fart noises when you sit on them, and have a recliner footrest bit.

Admittedly, the ones in your link would leave very odd imprints on you if you had sex on your sofa.

TheElephantofSurprise · 27/04/2017 23:00

Not for me. They make me feel like throwing up.

innagazing · 27/04/2017 23:01

Avoid at all cost!

MrsA2015 · 27/04/2017 23:01

Just to be clear we have the type of friendship where we are brutally honest with eachother! Not the MN friendships where friends can't seem to talk to one another when needed Wink

I told her they're garish and wouldn't last two seconds, she has 3 children under 7! She's trying to convince me but I will send her the link to this thread just to prove my pointGrin each to their own I suppose

Definitely not my taste. In any colour.

EveningShadows · 27/04/2017 23:04

I've sat on one and they are VERY comfy - bit too "out there" for us though Grin

icelollycraving · 27/04/2017 23:06

At first I thought hideous. Then when I clicked on the grey I noticed it's the same as a cushion I have.

PyongyangKipperbang · 27/04/2017 23:06

They would only look good in the sort of apartment one has to pose in. Not family friendly at all.

MarcelineTVQ · 27/04/2017 23:09

Omg now I want this in slate!!! Orange on the other hand makes me want to vom

BuzzKillington · 27/04/2017 23:10

Ooh, they're bad.

At least no-one else will have them though. Unlike the ubiquitous brown pleather corner horrors.

kingfisherblue33 · 27/04/2017 23:13

Fugly. And the texture - eurgh!

38cody · 27/04/2017 23:16

I love the orange and turqouise - I'm after a new sofa for teenagers bedroom - thin you've found it! Thanks op.

DevilsDumplings · 27/04/2017 23:17

No you are not being unreasonable to think those sofas are ugly Grin

They look a caricature of a sofa iuswim. Cartoony sofas!

PickAChew · 27/04/2017 23:20

Looking on a laptop, so can see that the cabling is a fake sticting effect, rather than knitted. i think the stitching would probably snap and beging to look scruffy.

The colour is great - an easy one to team with a neutral or colourful room. The fake cable and the ordinary shape of the sofa are pretty incongruous, though and it's quite expensive for such a risky effect on something that could look uninspring and messy after a year.

MrsA2015 · 27/04/2017 23:21

Looks like she's leaning towards the biscuit, her living room is nicely done up I just don't see how it will fit in! Perhaps it'll look better as part of the room?

I like them but then I loathe black leather sofas and people love those

JakeBallardswife · 27/04/2017 23:24

I'd love one for my kitchen but doesn't look like washable covers so realistically, not much use!

Bedsheets4knickers · 27/04/2017 23:26

Nope not for me x
