ABOUT US The Sofa King shop, in the centre of Northampton, has sold 1000's of end-of-line, ex-catalogue, catalogue return, factory return and warehouse-damaged sofas and suites for the last few years. Upon arrival at our warehouse each sofa is unpacked and checked by our trained staff, who then allocate it a stock code and a grade from either A or B grade). All the sofas we sell are in stock so we don't have to wait for manufacturers to make them to order. Hence you get your sofa more quickly and, of course, at a lower price.  If you're looking for a brand-name sofa, a 3-piece-suite or furniture at up to 50% off the original catalogue price for yourself or a loved one, then you have come to the right place! Here's how we do it! The Sofa King has managed to secure these mail order catalogue returns and clearance bargains from one of the largest suppliers in the country and from the manufacturers that supply them. (We're not allowed to mention any names - but you know who we mean). What is wrong with the sofas? What is the catch? Answer - in most cases absolutely nothing! And there is certainly no catch! To all intents and purposes they are nearly all brand spanking new. We can sell them so cheaply simply because the catalogue companies haven't the time or the inclination to re-sell them themselves. For an easy life, the catalogue companies either return them to the manufacturer, who then sells them on, or they are sold in bulk from the catalogue companies. Catalogue customers return furniture for all sorts of reasons - wrong colour, wrong size, can't pay for it, wouldn't fit through the door, arrived too late, changed their mind or it doesn't fit in the room. Sometimes there is an odd mark or blemish due to transit or delivery. We sell sofas returned for all these reasons and we also sell package-damaged stock and end-of-line sofas.   Once the furniture is in our warehouse, it is checked by trained staff, given a stock number and a grade (see below for details)      The furniture is then re-wrapped ready to be sold at a massive discount to you, the public. Grading system explained A Grade - These are normally 100% perfect with no marks at all, if they have a mark on it is normally so small it is hardly noticeable and is always at the back. They could be cancelled orders, wrong colour delivered, end of line (that means the catalogue company no longer have this style in the catalogue, so all the old stock is bought in bulk and then re-sold it at a massive discount), or even the wrong style/colour delivered. A Grade tends to arrive at our warehouse still in the original wrapper, never having been opened. We of course open them up to check they are ok and ready to sell at a knock down price. A Grades are normally sold at between 30% and 50% less than their original catalogue price. B Grade - These are normally 98% perfect but may have a few small marks on, normally caused in transit. Please note: the leather or material on the B grades is NEVER ripped or torn, merely scuffed or scrapped. Don't be put off by the B grades, the grading system goes right up to F grade, but we choose to only sell A and B grades. Remember you can always come and see the sofa prior to purchasing. B Grades are normally sold at between 40% and 50% less than the original catalogue price. Example of B grade sofa damage, pictures taken from typical examples recently sold.   So, because of small marks like this you could save a small fortune.
