Sofa Workshop

I like this sofa chain. It just seems less… superstoreish than some of the other places you only get to on a weekend when there’s 1800 other people trying to place their buttocks on the same piece of furniture you’re considering. It really does feel more like a workshop than a giant clearing room.
I think their sofas are nice too: they have both classic and contemporary styles in fabric and leather, but they all seem to have an elegant simplicity about them. And I like simple furniture.
The best thing about the Ealing branch (
) is that it’s one of their few (only four in the UK) factory outlets. Go upstairs and you can wander around a large room of clearance stock. You never know, maybe you’ll find your perfect sofa up there for a bargain price.
