Sofa Satisfaction.

 

Scanned the sofa showrooms and Internet looking for the right sofa for my ‘playroom’.  Most seemed to be too big for the room or too expensive as this project is being done on a budget.  The idea being that as and when we have enough money to buy a better sofa we will.

I eventually found the perfect looking bed settee online at ASDA Direct.  It was only £220.  Bargain I thought even if it is a bit cheap.  Unfortunately when I went to order it they had put the price up to £275.  Mmmm. I thought.  I see their cunning plan to put the price up so they can lower it for the January sales.  So as I was in no rush I waited about three weeks and sure enough the price went back down to £220.  I ordered the sofa and waited.  When I logged on and noticed a change in the status I rang to find out what was happening to the sofa and was told it was on its way and the delivery company would contact me.  Well they did at about 8pm one night to arrange delivery the following Monday between 7am and 9am.

It was delivered at 7:45am on the Monday which was great.

And it looks great.  I couldn’t be more satisfied.
