Furniture from Harveys

[mckenzie]

Has anyone ever bought any furniture from Harveys? Sofas in particular.
We've seen some glorious leather sofa in there today at a fantastic price and I'm just a tad concerned about the quality, the price seems a bit too good to be true.

We bought two 3seater sofas there about 4 years ago. The frame is doing well, but the covers looked revolting after about 1 year! Though they are that 'shabby chic' (?!) look. More shabby than chic I would say! Although if the leather is of good enough quality you might be okay, but to be honest I have decided to avoid buying sofas at low prices again. They get so much use it is probably better to spend that bit extra. We felt that we got what we paid for.

Thanks Rebi, I think that's what i was afraid of. You get what you pay for don't you?

delivery service was cr*p when we bought dd a bed about a month ago...date changed twice...glad it wasn't for a special occasion

I bought 2seater and 3seater sofas from Harveys, I ordered them on 28 August 2000, they were delivered on 4 February 2001, the delivery men tore the scroll arm of the 3seater, by scraping it up 2flights of stairs, they finally came round to repair it on 26 March 2001, he took a swatch, came back in 3weeks to fix it!!!!!!!!!! My sofas are worth £3000.00, they were on offer for 40% off, and the day I ordered them, an extra 10% bank holiday discount, so they cost me about £1,500.00. That was the only thing stopping me from returning them. And the fact that I had thrown out my old sofas thinking that the new ones would be delivered on time, only one of the cushion pads have lost its shape, the rest of it is fine, I have 3boys, 9,7, and 15months old, and its still in good nick. But I will not be buying from them again...............

Check out these reviews first: I'd avoid Harveys at all costs!
