Hi,

I have this sofa which is about 5 years now in my rented condo and one part of the cushion is sinking.

I got a quotation of Rm550 to replace the cushion for all the 4 seats excluding transport.

Another quoted about Rm1k+ excluding transport.

I'm still thinking if i should leave it until all the cushions give way or repair it or get a new one (around Rm500-Rm700).

Opinions?

I just bought one from shopee RM600 for my unit for rent.
quite good in perceived quality.
if you want cheap, RM300-RM400 is available too but not comfortable.

For me.. I will only do upholstery only if the sofa frame is from good quality material.. otherwise better buy new 1...

Lasttime i got 1 Ikea 3 seater ektorp sofa.. i cost me around RM1k to change all the cushion & fabric.. i think it worth it as they can change to other design type such as chesterfield or scandinavian type

Noted for fabric and cushion, 1k seems like ok. Did you change it in Ikea itself or was it some other shop?

Not bad considering this sofa has a total new look.

No brand.
I don't think it is much different from your cavenzi's quality.

It's shipped from Muar to KL... warranty is likely not applicable here for this price and location.
Anyway, 100% good review from online buyers.
