bergkamp 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2009 Yes, same design can be found in different shops at different prices...but cheapest ones are definitely cheap for a reason. They use poor material and workmanship. So dont just compare by price, check material and manufacturing source too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really regretted buying from them. They cant even explain to us properly exactly what kind of leather is on the sofa. Before I buy they say full genuine leather.... its NOT.

Before I buy they say full genuine leather.... its NOT. that time i also went to King's showroom at an industrial area, for a quick look, many selections, but we didn't like any of the designs, so didn't buy anything there. didn't knew their salesmen also dun have product knowledge too.

I wish I had the legs for that. Love to compare products? Did you end up buying? I've been to a few of the "cheaper" furniture retailers before checking out IFC. My take on furniture is that you can find the same design in different prices, but workmanship and materials are almost always relative to the price tag. I'm a pretty big guy so I can tell if a sofa, bedframe or mattress is up to par. When I went to IFC i told myself I would walk back and check out all the other outlets. In the end, I found exactly what I liked there and knew from the previous weekends of window-shopping that the likelihood of me finding something as comfortable at much cheaper was unlikely...
