I hav 1. Not top class but can use la. It won't last 10yrs if using it frequently. For the durability it's considered a bit pricey. If u ask me I ll still buy ikea again. It's fine to me.

ok noted. thanks for the advice.. icon_rolleyes.gif
Maybe because their marketing are so well that people endup buying ikea products.. biggrin.gif

the cushioning for ikea not that great. the frame not big issue as got 10 year guarantee or some crap. sofa is worth spending the money on as should last 10-20 years without the cushion becoming like damn flat. my sis bought from macy's last time (dunno where its gone). but the sofa still gooding. i think 15 years di. just color not nice. but cushioning top notch till today.

wow amazed by macy's sofa! rclxms.gif

Thanks sir for the advice! thumbup.gif

Managed to get a Friheten corner sofa at Ikea at a discounted price last week.
Normal price is RM1,990.00 and discounted price was RM1,490.00. Savings of RM500.00!

Two of my sisters in Australia are using this sofa as well and one of them has 3 kids but the sofa has stood up pretty well so far  in 4 years against rowdy kids as they often throw parties for the children.

For the price that I paid for, I guess it is worthwhile if it lasts between 5-8 years.
For me, I need some freshness in the house every now and then, so I will not be buying expensive sofas to use for more than 10 years...
Just my point of view...to each their own!

Interesting!
Thanks for ur review..
but i think the price have already lowered to RM 1490.00..u can check their website.

I have been told this is going to be discontinued.
The best is to go to the store itself and check if they have stock.
Their online inventory is not accurate. Sometimes if you call, the operator gets it wrong as well.
I bought mine during the sale in March. This was selling fast at that time and I was monitoring the availability closely. I called to enquire and was told it was sold out. I doubted her and went to the store to check. It was still available and I managed to get it at RM1490.00.
Mine is still not assembled as my house is just about to complete renovating.
But I guess for a sofa bed like this costing less than RM1,500.00, lasting 5 years or more with normal usage will be considered very good already.

Agree, should check the store.. thumbup.gif

Atleast you've made up ur mind and bought the item..
me, on the other hand still searching2x..haha sweat.gif
