Sofas- Sofa.com / Barker and Stonehouse? Anyone bought?

[IslandsInTheSunshine]

Looking into buying a new sofa and it will be close to £2K.

I like Sofa.com Bluebell and perhaps B&S Durant, Sloane and one other.
Neither is in my area so we'll have to make a long trip to the stores.

Are there any nightmare scenarios with these companies?

My parents used to buy B&S decades ago as they are based in the north. So I know they are supposed to be reliable.

I do like a couple of J Lewis sofas but they get terrible reviews.

anyone?

I have barker and stone house corner unit and chair. Had it 6 years nearly and it’s wonderful still. Also have kids and dogs and it’s still lovely

There’s a thread here in 90 days about sofa.com - I’ve got no experience with them so can’t comment on it from my perspective

We have one from barker and stonehouse (down south not up north) and it’s really great, plus excellent customer care and delivery services etc.

Thank you! @Talipesmum @JonjoMonjo21
I knew I'd seen something inthe press about one sofa company struggling and wasn't sure which.

We have a Sofa.com armchair that we got from a seconds place. I don’t find it comfortable at all - really hard. I personally wouldn’t buy a sofa from them - I see a lot on some of the seconds sites, which makes me wonder why so many are available/returns..

I recently bought an Izzy sofa ex display from sofa.com after trying out many many many sofas. It's gorgeous and I got it at a massively reduced price.

My parents have a Barker and Stonehouse sofa and it has worn well. I really recommend Sofas and Stuff because they have the most amazing clearance section online and lots of stores to try out the sofas. The quality is a step up from the alternatives I tried out.

I have the bluebell sofas, they are very comfortable & are still in excellent condition but they are nine years old, so was surprised at the sofa.com thread a shame if the quality & customer service has gone to pot since we bought.
yy Sofas and Stuff again were excellent quality would have bought from them but delivery time was long & we needed sofas quite quickly.
