this one. Looks quite nice and it isn’t leather (I don’t want animal leather)

I don't know, I don't think I could drop £600 on a couch without sitting on it first.

If you like it, buy it. Not sure why you'd ask strangers on here. I know you could say that about anything really but it just seems a bit odd to me.

AHungryCaterpillar · 20/04/2022 19:59

It’s got loads of reviews so just read them 🤷‍♀️

What's the unreasonable bit?

Cheap for a recliner, I would worry about how long it'd run smoothly.

So long as you or anyone is going to use it is under 17 stone, yes.

Yea bought my first sofa from Argos in 2000. It was leather, we only got rid of it in 2014 when we moved back from Oz.
I’ve just bought a sofa bed from them, it seems fine. But with all sofa’s, they don’t really last. So it’s hit and Miss. you could buy one from dfs and it could be shit after a year.

As a disclaimer, it was 20 years ago, so quality might have changed since then, but we bought sofas for our first house out of the catalogue from Argos, and we sold them eight years later pretty much as good as new.

Look carefully at the reviews, and be realistic about how long it might last, and if it’s right for you, now, then buy it!

Bought argos leather sofas about 7 plus years ago and they are still great. Would definitely buy from them again.

I got a leather Argos sofa 4 years ago and its absolutely crap. It scratches too easily, the arm broke when I stood on it to put the light on my Christmas tree (🤭), the 3 seater seat has sagged in one corner. My previous IKEA lasted for 8 years, so this was really disappointing.

MistyGreenAndBlue · 24/04/2022 20:00

It wont last. Faux leather cracks and looks awful in 6 months or less.

If you're against animal skin, get a fabric one. And try it first. I wouldn't buy a sofa or a bed sight unseen unless it was second hand and dead cheap.

A plastic sofa will be really sweaty when it's hot.

My sister just bought a sofa from Argos (not that one) and is very happy with it. The dog was less keen, but eventually came round.
