Nabru Sofas - for those on a budget

[Minnie_the_Minx]

John Lewis £299

The legs are slightly different though

Nabru

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Yeah but it was only a few inches, easier and quicker to do it ourselves. We just went with the standard seating, we're on a budget, and its very comfy, especially with the chaise. We've already started fighting over who gets to sit on that side.

Yeah, we stuck with standard as it's firmer and b/f has osteoarthritis in hips. Figured firmer seating was the better option













and it was cheaper

Just ordered a Nabru corner sofa, delivery booked for Thursday. All those in the "sales" like DFS and Harveys look like overpriced tat.

I went and sat on loads of DFS and Harveys sofas but couldn't find anything comfortable for £300

Did you go to their workshop and try them? What colour are you getting?

 

[marty21]

To make it fit where I want I'm thinking an extra wide one seater with only one arm

I'd have a sofabed, but they don't do them with only one arm

I had a single seater sofa bed once, armchair bed? it just rolled off the chair, into a single bed, it was for guests, i slept in it a couple of times, quite comfy, no idea where it was bought, rented place, doubt it is still there, I moved out in 91

HTH though

 

[marty21]

I want a leather sofa, but can't seem to find any for under a grand, and I don't want a leather sofa that badly, brown leather, anyone recommend anywhere?

Nope, didn't go and check them so I hope they're good. I'd looked at similar on sofasofa for the last year and these seem very similar but cheaper, quick to deliver and the varied choices in the "build your own" section meant I could fit one exactly into the corner space I have.

Went for the claret Dundee material to avoid red wine stains

That's a lot of money to spend if you don't even know if they'll be comfortable

Yeah, I dabbled with Sofasofa but had read bad reviews on them so decided to steer clear.

Arrived yesterday, and building it was included in the delivery cost.

It's great. Very high quality, good solid construction, much better than the £800 Ikea job which broke after 3 years and I put up with for another 5. Colour and fabric all good and most importantly, its incredibly comfortable. I got the storage system added for £28 which adds large storage space under 3 of the seats.

At a total of £667 with delivery for a large L shape sofa its great value.

I've just ordered 2 x 2 seaters in some trepidation, but I'm halfway up a tower block and have a silly narrow front room door, and an impossible turn into the room. I've ordered sofas before that wouldn't go into the room, and the delivery guys ripped the one 've got now getting through, so Nabru is the obvious solution.

Much happier after reading this, though! - thanks for posting, Ringo.

Building included in the delivery cost? Do you mean you actually paid £40 for it to be built as that's what the charge is?

Our cushions are starting to relax now. Might be the weight of my bum so going to switch them around so the other side relaxes a bit more.

Pictures would be nice.

Who made it up for you, Pete the Pole?

I should ring them up and get commission.

I've settled on one of these:

http://www.futonsofabedsdirect.co.uk/acatalog/Emma-2-Seat-Foam-Sofabed.html

It's probably not as comfy or as well made, but it's only 120cm wide and 68cm deep, which is the perfect size for the boat. It's also got a 110cm wide matress, which is nearly a double.

Oh, and it's 140 quid

PS: I didn't bother with the drawers as there's storage underneath anyway and the drawers apparently just sit on the floor.

similar shape to what we had before. Arms not at all comfortable.

I'm guessing that, but if you want a 120cm wide sofa then unfortunately you've got to have very thin arms.

Get a bigger boat

 

[ymu]

Get a bigger boat

Then it wouldn't fit through the locks.

There's only so much you can do when you live in a 6' wide corridor.

Oooh. I just phoned em up and ordered one.

They're going to deliver it to a friends boat at a marina and I'm somehow going to get it from there to my boat

why the confused smiley?

What did you get then?

One of these in a textured red fabric:

I'm confused cos my boat isn't even in the marina and I doubt it will be But they need a postcode for the delivery.

I know it's not the best looking/comfyest/well made sofa in the world but it's the right size and function. Hopefully the textured fabric will make it look less shit.

They do sofabeds that go on the floor?

Shame, due I guess to space restrictions, you've had to go for the skinny arms. The low wide arms are great as tables

Looks like it. I'm sure I remember these being the norm when I was growing up and these fancy arse spring action things being a relatively recent invention.

Yeah, but I've got a little stool for that

I didn't pay extra for the build, they said it ws included in the delivery. I was at work but it was by a friendly Polish chap.

Still very pleased, very comfortable.

Yeah, I had one myself, so did b/f, but I didn't realise Nabru did them.

Strange. OK, how much did you pay for delivery?

Oh. Mine's not from nabru

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

You plonker

 

[mentalchik]

Bump.......


any chance those with Nabru sofas could say how they're holding up ?
