    upgrading the 3 piece suite in the living room at the moment

    Have identified 2 candidates in DFS that we like

    I've looked online at trustpilot and there are a lot of really negative reviews about DFS, but not sure if these are related primarily in the UK or not

    anyone dealt with them (Carrickmines store) and if you have any other recommendations of places that people used

    Thanks

    We went with Kube interiors in Sandyford and EZ living. Kube is great as you can design everything and they work to your budget too.

    EZ living was quicker however!

    thanks, I have an EZ Living very close to me where we live, I'm not out the southside, but happen to be there 2 nights a week which is why I found myself at DFS

    Will have a look at Kube

    went in there earlier (Hanleys)...nothing really took our fancy and they are pricey compared to Michael Murphys

    Found a really nice couch in Murphys so its top of the list at the moment

    Been to EZ Living, Hanleys and did Harvey N earlier today....

    AVOID DFS

    Their products are poor quality, they make up their so called offers and high pressure sales tactics to take coatings, insurance etc.

    Any place that quotes a discount off an "after event price" is making a joke of you.

    My own experience over many years

    Michael Murphys or Finline Furniture (Finline manufacture themselves in Emo just off the M7)

    Many other good ones too, but avoid DFS


    Just saw you are in Naas - we'll worth a spin to Finline at Emo. Less than 30min down the M7

    totally forgot about finline, had a look at their site and 2-3 there we like the look of so will take a trip down Mon morning

    this one is what we've liked so far
    very strong, well built, solid and extremely comfortable

    there is a huge choice of fabrics aswell

    If you go to finline on naas road, you can go to Diamond Furniture opposite it.

    The sofa factory is also nearby in Western Industrial Estate. The quality there is excellent.

    Karl's furniture on Kylemore Road also has good quality sofas.

    So if you go to that area you could look at all of these.

    What brand is that Colerado suite? I have one very similar style that I cant justify getting rid of after 13 years because its still practically new.

    back from Finline on the Long Mile Rd
    Spent nearly 1.5hrs in there, have to say the quality of furniture is of a high end, the choices of fabrics is excellent, really professional setup

    found a sofa and 2 chairs eventually after going through about 15 different fabric options
