I'm looking to buy the iconica salone range from DFS. Does anyone have any opinions on this sofa range?
Is it good? Does it sag?
Before I spend £3g, I'd definitely appreciate some feedback please.

Thanks

Probably not quite the response you're after but here goes...
I really like Iconic Salone sofa and although I ended up not buying it, occasionally wish I had - mainly for the electric footrests.
I pondered for ages before finally choosing a Natuzzi Livata sofa from Barker and Stonehouse.
Both very similar in style and price, apart from the DFS sofa was leather and had footrests.
Probably a good job I didn't get the Iconica Salone as the Natuzzi got jammed diagonally against the ceiling when the [very careful but persistent] delivery men tried to stand it on its end [it was longer than the floor-to-ceiling height] whilst also turning it 90 degrees to get it from the hall into the living room (the Iconica Salone is 10cm wider!) Definitely need to think of how you can get it into your house. They're bulkier than they look!
On the plus side; I did see a blue one in perfect condition for sale at half price as it was ex-display (£1500 saving!). Worth checking out the clearance section of the DFS website just in case.

I actually didn't think about this at all. Very good information, and thanks I measured and looks like I have space to get in through the back door. (mine I detached and have space the back way).

Also, this sofa which you suggest Natuzzi Livata, is it still in good condition? No sagging or anything? Would you recommend that sofa?

We got ours last October and so far it's still in fabulous condition!
I actually got melted chocolate on it (a Hotel Chocolat Gemstone which i'd dropped without realising until I got up..) on the evening of the day it was delivered to us. (My husband reckoned if he'd done it, I'd have killed him!). Anyway, it cleaned straight off, really easily thank goodness.
I can't help thinking leather would be a wiser choice with 2 children in the household but it is very nice to sit on a sofa which is immediately warm to the touch. It's very snug and comfy.
We chose the exact same colour as the sofa advertised on Barkers website, for practical reasons.
Currently have 2 grey cushions + 2 mustard cushions on it. Towards Christmas time we change them for red & purple velvet cushions which we also got from Barkers.
I like that cushions don't 'slip' over against the fabric - unlike leather.
It took me ages to make my mind up which of the two to go for and I don't have any regrets.
