the sofa

The thinking man’s sofa (Oh please! – someone take that copywriter out and shoot him). In all honesty though you may notice that this sofa is a little dearer than some of our others, and for good reason. Those deep tufted and pleated buttons take very considerable time and skill (if you want it done properly – there are ways of cheating), and there are lots of them. The spring system rocks, the frame comes apart into four for ease of access, solid oak legs…blah, blah, blah. Listen, if you love this spectacularly elegant, modern design you’ll just have to reach a little deeper.

Answer:

I am afraid that we are only able to deliver to mainland UK addresses. Having said that hundreds of our sofas have made it across the channel. If you find a shipping company to use then they would be able to collect from our warehouse, or alternatively we could deliver to them at their holding bay!

Answer:

Hello!

The Descartes sofa breaks down into four separate pieces (2 arms, the back and the base) as standard and as such is superb for fitting into properties with tight access.

In addition to this you needn't have to worry about taking it apart yourself as our drivers will happily dismantle your sofa, bring it in your property and put it back together for you as part of the delivery service!
