  • Anyone here got Swyft sofas? Looking at the model 10 before the current sale ends.

    Or indeed any other recommendations for aesthetic and comfortable sofa that isn't 4k ++++ Cheers.

  • No, I have a saved search on eBay though and they come up periodically. Good for getting up small staircases.

  • How to you ad a battery and motorised wheel to a sofa?

  • I rate our Model 03, great delivery, easy to install and very robust. Still happy 3+ years later

  • and much more comfy than the Cybertruck sofa

  • Ahh yes - vitsoe and £270 bib shorts are a solid hallmark of ‘intentional inclusivity’ I’m sure.

  • It’s pronounced vitsoooo

  • until five or six years ago, there weren’t really any communities in cycling as such

    take that on the chin lfgss !

  • Now I buy cheap bibs and don't have any vitsoe I am 100% on board with this sentiment.

  • Thanks, that's good to hear.

    Has it had to stand up to pets/kids ?

  • Yeah, the only thing is say is don't get a light grey one if you have pets/kids, that's our mistake more than the sofa

  • Here for sofa recommendations. We’re looking for something like an l shape ish, the main thing is one end to have an attached foot stall type thing.

    Swyft are massive corner sofas or the model1/2 is a little too traditional.

  • Selling this Muji wireframe desk in classifieds. Looking for £50 collected.

    I’ve listed it in millimetres to signal its credentials. Rumour has it this range was designed by Industrial Facility as part of their Muji retainer.

  • Any tips on extendable kitchen tables that don’t have corner legs and also don’t wobble?

    Trying to save floor space and have a bench on the wall side that can be accessed without pulling the table out.

  • Has anyone replaced the webbing on their ercol chairs / sofas / daybeds? Seems straightforward enough but would be good to hear of people experiences of doing it. Where did you get the webbing etc?

  • Replaced webbing on a 203/2 sofa using materials and instructions from here https://ercolstraps.com about 9 years ago. They were very responsive / helpful at the time.

    Actually fitting them definitely needed two people, though easier once the webbing is up to room temperature if it's cold outside. Also tried on the matching footstool, which was a nightmare (less length to stretch?). Doable, but much swearing.

  • Very easy. Have done a couple of chairs and a footstool.

    Just check as even the same models have slightly different patterns, depending on era.

  • Nice, thanks for the advice @small and @DanS I have put an order with Ercol straps.

  • Anyone repaired ripped leather furniture?

    I picked up three Eames soft back chairs a few years ago as payment for some work. Two EA217 and one EA208. There vary in condition from quite tidy to quite fucked so the intention is to strip and rebuild them using all the best bits to make 2 chairs.

    Annoyingly the leather is ripped on all of them so at least two need to be repaired. Getting them professionally reupholstered is definitely off the cards and it looks like getting the leather off the frames to be repaired sympathetically is a mammoth task that involves drilling out the rivets that hold it on to the frame. Which leaves me with patching them up. The bad news is the areas are quite big and one of the rips is essentially a broken seam. The good news is the leather is all the same colour, age, patina and each of them have ripped in a different location meaning i could cut sections from the worst one to patch up the better two.

    This bloke says it's doable but i'm wandering if anyone here has tried it themselves?

  • Why not embrace it and do some kind of sashiko-inspired repair? I was just about to patch up our leather sofa that way but the cat decided to mark its territory in it so binned it instead

  • what's this lamp, please?
