I'm not sure myself how long sofas are supposed to last these days? Are they supposed to be relatively consumable?
The DFS HQ is about 3miles from where I live and I know where the money goes

Posh offices and fast cars for the directors!
Apart from the fact when i went in for my sofa they told me I COULDNT pay cash! I mean what kind of outfit are they running!
They just wanted me to opt for the free-credit option (but I don't believe that kind of thing exists for 80% of the time)
