Seeking suggestions and interested to know member experience-buying furniture

No, I will not buy products online if I cannot sit in them first. How would you know if that lounge or office chair will be comfortable or not?

 

This is a thread revisit - but we recently bought Nick Scali (our second lounge from them - first sold with the last house).

Hubby like a leather recliner, so we go a sofa similar to Wylie's for him (different colour) - and Junior and I like fabric sofas with a chaise end ... means we all get a spot we prefer ... and why do they have to be the same material as long as they're complimentary?

We have found their furniture to be very comfortable and good quality - they have a range of seat depths, for those that love or loathe the current trend in mega-deep slouch couches - and service has always been excellent ... all for a reasonable price

 

We have been thru the same process...
Had to buy a set of sofa, and a recliner.
It was a painful experience: Most of them are too bulky/ugly. Warranty for "Real" leather is only one-year for most. Most Recliner needs too much room at the back.
Coupled with Covid where delivery was delayed many times.
Anyway, in the end we found OzDesign and would say it stands out amongst the others.
Funnily enough, from memory the Recliner was made in Oz.

Next we need a big dining table, fun, NOT!

 

@Pumpkin, a large dining table should be easy to make. Scott Pape's first chapter is about (not) buying dining tables.

 

Oh I missed that, mind to give a quicklink since I am too slack to google? Only if you have it..

 

Barefoot Investor
Books — The Barefoot Investor - Scott Pape
I just scanned through it and found what I was looking for on pages 48 and 49. I'm not sure about copyright and public forums, I can post the pages up here if the legal folks say it is alright.

 

Thanks or you can message me?
Which version is that? I have the very first book somewhere around the house...
