DFS Sofas

I hate the adverts and hate the image but - much as it pains me to admit it- we've had a DFS 3 seater, 2 seater and chair sofa-set for about 14 years now (they still sell it believe it or not - the 'Vienna' ) and they're all still going strong and still very comfortable; Okay the covers are worn,grubby,frayed and past it now (I notice they currently throw in a free extra set of covers with it) but they've survived 2 kids and 2 dogs that we didn't have when we first bought them (a word of caution - never go for cream/white as a colour if kids and/or dogs are involved!). The springs, arms and frame are all fine (apart from the single-chair springs which are goosed, though ...  Read the complete review

Having purchased settees on 2 separate occasions from DFS, I thought I'd give you my view on them. We first bought a fabric settee 5 years ago when we lived in Norfolk. The shopping experience was pleasant enough. The store we bought it from was spacious enough but not huge so we didn't struggle too much to decide and picked one fairly quickly. At the time they offered one year free credit, which we took. The settee was sturdy and comfortable and we got some good use out of it for 3 years. It survived a move to Yorkshire but unfortunately our cats liked to dig their claws in the fabric and my husband made a massive rip on one of the arms by trying ...  Read the complete review

I moved house a year ago and my old sofa did not survive the move - I set out to find a gorgeous replacement. This wasn't as easy as I had expected, especially on a budget. To cut a very long story short, I settled finally on DFS. To be honest, I didn't enter the store actually intending to buy, but having asked a few questions about a sofa my daughter and I were interested in, the salesperson was going nowhere until I had made a decision. I felt slightly pressured into choosing, however, having done that, I felt very pressured into agreeing to extras such as a stain proof coating. I initially said no, and the salesperson implied I was mad or foolish not to ...  Read the complete review

Due to moving around quite a bit before we finally took the plunge and bought our current house, we ended up with 2 mismatched sofas, one of which was on it's last legs. So when we saw the January offers on at DFS of 4 years interest free credit we thought 'well what have we got to lose?' As we already had a cream leather 3 seater which we were keeping, we decided to go for 2 electric leather recliners (one each!) to replace the other sofa. We visited the Cannock DFS store and wanderered around for a while, as the shop was quite busy we were not pestered by a sales person as soon as we walked in the door which is what usually happens, and were left ...  Read the complete review

Sorry this is long but it is entirely true, order at your peril! I, no doubt like many others, was suckered by the prices and buy now pay when you can't afford it option. I bought two Oasis 2 seater leather recliners - total cost £2500ish. They look lovely in the showroom and that's the only chance you get to sit on them for 12 weeks whilst you wait for delivery. Both sofas arrived after about 13 weeks, OK, I'll let that go. My wife was busy with the kids when the delivery guys were trying to fit them together - there is a metal base with pegs and slots that have to be slotted together to make one sofa. She ...  Read the complete review
