Anyone know ???

I'm almost positive that someone on here said they had brought the BOGOF leather sofas from Argos.
Just wondered what they thought of them really.

hi was me, only just saw this..... They are good, I got the black ones. Missed out on the old catalogue ones as didn't get money on time.

They are good value for money and clean well. They are quite low but when we fixed the legs they were a bit higher. comfy. The seats are not cushions like the first lot, they are stuck on IYSWIM.

I did end up waiting ages for them to come though as the stock wasn't in although it didn't say that on website. They did come when they said though. (my old driving instructer delivered them-- weird huh!!)
If you need pics to see them in RL setting let me know.

forgot to add... buy three seater and get 2 seater free.

also the design on 3 seater isn't three seperate spaces but two.

Hmmm thanks Champs. Still haven't decided what to do yet, i'm hopeless.

Bit of a strange question, but is the leather smooth or sort of rough ?

OP posts:
champs · 11/07/2004 03:03

dh says smooth It's not the soft type of leather, it's sort of grainy/ textured.

Beccarollover · 14/07/2004 16:04

Nutty, I didnt see this til now

This is my sofa.

My friend got a BOGOF from Argos - hers was cream - nice but not a very modern shape.

No worries Becca

I have ordered them anyway, and they are being delivered next thursday .

I think i'll like them, they were the only ones i could find for my budget anyway.

OOOOOOOOOooooooooooo how exciting nutty!!!

You must be so chuffed - I hopefully move into my new house next week too :D

champs · 23/07/2004 18:40

nutcracker, did they come!! do you like them?

misdee · 23/07/2004 18:44

nutty, tell me if they are any good pls. i have a sofa which is only about 3yrs old, but hate it as its black, and dd2 throws food everywhere and its badly marked. every speck of dust shows up on it. dh says i can get new sofas when we move (if we move), so am looking for leather ones but cant afford too much.

They are great .

They did seem a bit hard compared to my old sofas at first, but they have started to soften up a bit.
Definatly worth the money too.

The new Argos book is out tommorow so i'd look in there Misdee as they may have changed the offer ones.

BECCAROLLOVER!!! Are you there???

Just wanted to ask you about your sofa/s. I had a look at the link you gave in one of your earlier post and really like the look of the sofas you have ordered/probably have by now. Does this company have a showroom? Doesn't look like it from the website but it would feel a bit odd to buy sofas not having sat on them. Thought I would ask anyway, going to see some in DFS next week so may plump for one of them.

Demented · 12/09/2004 14:43

Bump!

Demented · 12/09/2004 16:56

Bumpety, bumpety, bump, bump, bump!

Come to think of it I've not seen BR posting recently.

Demented · 12/09/2004 17:14

No looks like she was posting yesterday.

Beccarollover · 12/09/2004 18:54

Hi demented - only just saw this!

I have had the sofas for a while now - probably about a year! I got them direct from them so not sure if they have a showroom - Im sure barker and stonehouse stock them though.

They are very lovely IMO

popsycal · 12/09/2004 19:25

I can vouch for Becca's sofas being lovely !

Demented · 12/09/2004 20:58

Thanks Becca, will have a look for Barker & Stonehouse, I would just feel a bit funny about buying a sofa without having seen it first. They do look lovely though, one of the nicest I've seen.

Demented · 13/09/2004 14:38

Had a look at B&S, didn't see your sofa on-line, ended up in Reids today, their sale finishes at 5pm and I'm not sure if it was an impulse buy but we've gone and bought one. Not sure if we've done the right thing but it's done now!
