Have you heard anything like this??!!!

I have just spoken to my friend, who took delivery of a new three piece leather suite from DFS.
The delivery men told her not to sit on the furniture for 24hours.
I have been killing myself laughing as she is sitting on the floor!!!!
I told her to ignore them, as the suite would have been in a warehouse with nobody sitting on them, so what is the problem????

[B00]

Did he tell her why?

I've not heard nowt like this either- will it explode if she does sit on it???

[delboy3]

Tell her to go to B&Q and ask for a long weight.

More like the cheap leather will crack!!

Oooo meowwww funnygirl- lol.

Furniture needs to ' settle in ' it's a known feature in the trade. You can't just junk off a leather settee and expect it to be sittable upon. Advise your friend that she is a complete ar$ehead. Sorry I couldn't help earlier but I only just got in from work and besides you didn't ask your question until nearly 7pm.

It doesn't sound right to me. I don't see what difference it would make whether she sat on it tonight or not. It's designed for sitting on. Sounds like the delivery guy was being funny.

You have to be kiddin, right Diz?

I mean "reverse plumping vacuum machine " and "memory fibres?? Wut?!

It's not April 1st is it?

[figure]

The delivery guys were just pulling her leg.

That's where you are wrong !! Furniture needs to settle in in the same way as a hamster, it needs to adjust to the prevailing temperature and humidity (T&H in the trade).

I think Dizdabiz would go down well on Call My Bluff!!!

When our suite came from DFS recently, it rocked. I'm told it is not uncommon for some slight frame twisting to happen. Ever the sceptic I said 'yeah right'. But they sent a man around who did some chiropractic work on it and its been fine since.

Does DFS mean DONT FLIPPING SIT for at last 24 hours

We have just bought a leather suite , made in England , the same one in Harveys , was an import and more expensive .
So use your local shop and haggle . We had a really deal .

[theonlyone]

That should have said a really good deal !! weecalf MFI
made for idiots ?

[jazzy_lady]

silly cow!!!!! its like buying a car and being told "do not drive for 3 days as it needs to settle in on the drive"

dump ya friend for being a thicko

[smudge]

How ridiculous!

Even if it was true, the salesman should have explained all that!
