Is Sofa Club The Ultimate Renovation Hack? I Put The Viral 'Sofa In A Box' To The Test

I’m renovating a 150-year-old flat and have reached my breaking point with 12-week wait times. Could a sofa that arrives in 24 hours actually be... good?

There are many harsh realities we face as adults: cheese is actually really expensive; the worst person you know is probably being told by their therapist that they’re really reasonable; and that we are doomed to spend the rest of our lives forever trying to find the answer to ‘what’s for dinner?’.

But one I didn’t anticipate is just how difficult it is to buy a sofa.

I’ve spent the last six months renovating a 150 year old flat in Edinburgh and thanks to that being one endless stress, I officially only want to walk the path of least resistance where I can.

Unfortunately the road to getting a sofa is full of potholes. First of all you’ve got the time element. I don’t have it in me to assemble anything after spending all day stripping........
