It is the most comfortable sofa that we found and everyone likes coming over to ours because of it. It also has a double sofa bed built in which is very handy and looks good. Customer service is fantastic and we had a member of Nabru built it for us. I would never consider building it ourselves. Only negative is that you wont want to get off it! I've lost hours/days! Go for it! We absolutely love our Nabru corner sofa. It is the most comfortable sofa that we found and everyone likes coming over to ours because of it.

Big Time! Unfortunately I can't contact you via Email. I loved the Joke since 1980, when I bought the record. I saw them the first time at a gig in Munich, when everybody spat and they left stage after 30 minutes, and they continued acting along with playback and everybody threw bottles. I was blown away. But when they fooled me with the GOP I stopped buying their records. Nuff said. @Sean – City Manchester England: (post from august 2010)

Came on a pallet which was well packaged. First of all i checked everything was delivered , then started to assemble it. Definate 2 man job, very tight squeeze fitting all the covers on. took about 2 hours to assemble. If you don`t like reading instructions and are on your own i would highly recommend using the assembly service, but for us northerners, we`ve no choice!! Once built i was happy with the looks and comfort, so as long as it lasts me 2 or 3 decades, i`ll be a happy yorkshireman!! :) Just purchased a 2 seater sofa bed last week.

There's always good and bad reports so I shall start with the bad stuff: The foam infills were the wrong size & shape for the back of the sofa. The 'storage compartment' for the armchair is fairly expensive for the room inside it. You can store just x2 pillows inside it. A year later and the veneered covers for the feet have fallen off both pieces of the furniture I purchased. The Scotchguard was a spray tin for £35 which is a rip-off! Good report: The furniture was delivered as directed and it was on time. It was easy to assemble and is stylish for what it is. The lady at the other end of the phone was polite to me when I called about my issues.

Took 2 of us 2 1/2 hours to put it together, once we got the hang of the instructions it was pretty plainsailing!! The sofa is comfy and looks great and the price was fantastic. My only concern is after paying £25 to have it scotchguarded we found a single tin in our delivery that would be enough for a 3 seated sofa. Not sure if it was scotchguarded before we got it and the can is for "top-ups" ?! Our Nabru 5×3 corner unit arrived yesterday lunchtime.
