care instructions.............
 
ok after a 12 week wait we finally have our sofas....only problem is we can't actually 'use' them without voiding the 2 yr gurantee!

Care instructions include; no pets, no children, no sunlight exposure,no belt buckles, no keys, no rings, no sharp objects of any kind, no spillages of any kind, no denim or dark clothing, no dust and finally no toys (adult and kids)! After waiting three months, watching TV whilst balancing on inflatable chairs we STILL have no sofas to actually sit on! They are for admiration only! :p

(popping out tomorrow to get some throw overs!)

Ahh well 7 hours after delivery and kids have already christened it! I made them sit on towels, wash hands, faces and basically not move! My little lad even changed from his dark jeans into light pj's for the priviledge! Have now tucked sofas up for night and locked the door! You may have joked but I asked the delievery guys for the plastic wrapping!!!

Your brave ;) the care guide is a classic...you`ll all have to learn to hover about 5 inches :D

We had a cream leather and dark jeans is a definite NO NO we had one person sit on ours once and left a blue patch on it :eek:

I bet it looks good though!!
