    But you would be sitting on the flag! You'll hate yourself if you haul that back to your house!

    After ten years of sitting on the same sofa, we've finally bought a new one because it's worn out. We looked at maybe a dozen and on Saturday we put a deposit on one we saw in Olivos - coincidentally the very same shop we'd bought the one from ten years ago.

    I'll upload a pic when it's in place.

    For easier transportation the missus bought a sofa in a box for the BA apartment last year. I believe it can also be used as a bed as well. All I can say is thank God we're hardly ever there as it's very uncomforatble. She'd have been better buying a XL bean cushion.

    UK Man , “sofa in a box?” Is that a relative of gel mattresses, which come tightly compressed in a box, and spring into shape when freed of it?

    Probably, as she got a couple of bed pillows which are made of the same stuff and are as hard as a brick as well. Horrible things!!! Ideal if you have guests to stay over and you don't ever want them to return. :D

    Excellent service from the sofa company because it arrived this morning! However, there was some drama because the lads brought us the wrong one - same colour, slightly different material - but it was easily fixed and they swapped it within 30 minutes.

    Ours is a very smooth material which cats don't scratch and ruin. We know this because my wife's son has one in the same material and his cat hasn't touched it. This one is lovely and firm too which is excellent for our postures!

    Ours is a similar colour. Hopefully yours is more comfortable. ^^

    Looks nice, Splinter , and it’s a nice size for your living room. I predict many happy hours of Netflix ahead!
