Hi
Where can I buy two leather sofas (one two seater and one three seater) with very short delivery time? All the big shops like DFS, Reid etc are quoting around 14-16 weeks wait
MBG
Was really looking to try the sofas out before buying. I find that the difference in comfort and quality can only really be seen /felt rather than online. So a shop would be preferable rather than online
Try Ikea - they hold 2 and 3 seaters in stock and you generally get a good guarantee on their products. John Lewis also have some of their sofas for delivery within 7 days of your order. Some of the sofas at places like DFS or Furniture Village have a short waiting period as they hold them in stock but I have had bad experiences with both companies and would not recommend them.

black futon
i just asked a question about matching furniture
well i decided to painy by brown frame futon black bc the color is faded and its hard to find matching furniture.
but the frame is finished, and its glossy dark wood. now to paint it, do i just buy black paint and do it? or do i have to do something to the wood first?
thanks
There are very few paints that would take to the treated wood without sanding first. Sanding the frame would make the process a 100 times easier and faster. Good luck!

sofa futon
This morning I let my daughter have cereal on a tray on the sofa - breaking a rule I swore I would never break. The sofa slants front to back so when she spilled her cereal bowl (which of course she did) and didn't tell me about it, ( ditto) it pooled in one spot. I am going remove the cover and wash it if possible. any suggestions about how to deal with the futon?
if the milk soaked in then you have to wash it all out or you will get an awful smell from it for a good week!
so flush it with lots of water and turn it upside down so the water does not flush the milk further in to the futon. just water as it will do no damage.
