Evening,
OK - thanks for all the "advice" about DFS....seams that have a bad name!
Our new leather suite cost over £1k - nothing to pay for a year and then interest free for 3 years on 0% or we can pay the full balance at any time.
My partners previous suite (2 seat sofa and a chair) have been going strong for about 9 years now. There are a few rips (due to a doggy having a play, RIP) in the material but nothing that a recovering wouldn't sort out.
The frame is good and strong and the reclining mechanism is still very functional.
She got the suite from DFS.
IMO!
