Anyone been in it? We went on today and seemed to have more staff then customers, having said that I saw lots of people signing to buy furniture.

Lots of nice stuff in there but anything we tried was just not comfy, unfortunately !

Today? Was the centre open?

Bought an aubergine leather suite in Dec 2009, Half price!. In DFS.Within two days the arm rests had cracked. They came and replaced all the arm rests, Zipped off the leather and replaced the chip board, it was basically like cardboard . I took pictures. I should have sent the suite back at this stage. One year on the suite was all faded and patchy, leather all saggy and front of seat all hanging down. Back they came and put padding in the seats, said it was the type of soft leather and some fading was to be expected. Not a great job. I am just sick looking at it at now. IOne of the couches, the leather has just turned brown and dirty looking as if they dye has come off. Seats all saggy, and fronts of seats all out of shape. There is a two year manufacture and five years frame guarantee. Phoned last week and they said my two year guarantee was up but as I had problems they would come and assess it. The lad that came agreed that its "not great" but fading was from the sun. Took photos back to the store.The room is north facing and gets no sunlight at all. So it appears you have to keep a leather suite in a dark room? !!. Any way the manager has offered to recover it at a price. I said I have no intention of spending any more money on it. "Bearing with him" till friday to hear the price. Have I a leg to stand on?.

Thanks for that Pat Dunne. I checked that out, looks like I should have been more assertive in the first place, I usually am. Probably left it too long now, but we will see how it goes friday. Still no intention of throwing good money after bad.

You won't find it on Google maps, it's only just opened. It's in one of the retail parks that surround the Blanch Shopping Centre. You can't miss the centre once you come off the M50 at junction 6 (N3).
