Flat-Pack Sofas

[Robbie Barr]

I'm looking at getting a sofa for my little boat from Nabru. Does anyone have any experience with these or can someone recommend me an alternative?

We have one at home, and it's great. The only thing I would say is go to the showroom and look if you can. The seat base is slipped into the cushion cover so you end up with a hard strip across the front of the sofa but you only notice it if you are sat on the floor leaning on it. The plus is you gain storage space underneath but don't bother with their storage boxes they take up too much space! The sofas are quite deep, 93cm springs to mind but if you have the space go for it, we saved over a grand for a 3m x 3m corner sofa with dbl sofa bed.

Ours is IKEA, flat packed and got it in through the side hatch. 2 seater for under 200 pound

Have a look at INTOSOFA.COM (not a clicky) they make modular seating of all sorts to go in restricted places. We have a super 2 seater sofsbed which is really comfortable and the parts fitted through 500mm doors etc. They have a good website and will send you swatches of material.

Visit your local re-cycling/re-use shop - you should be able to pick one up for under £20 . . .

We have a nabru sofa on our boat...we replaced a fixed L shape with it. The nabru is much more comfortable, and i think was pretty good value...you can replace bits in the future and even get spare covers etc.

 

The only slight draw back in my view is that they are quite deep and come out almost half way across the boat even though it buts up right under the gunnel.

We bought a sofa bed from nabru last year and its lovely. Her indoors was a bit tipsy one night and as she started to make the sofa bed up she damaged the base but after a guick call to nabru ,a replacement part was sent out, no quibbles.

 

Before we bought it they sent out a bunch of material swashes and you can mix and match to your hearts content.

We wanted really nice quality sofas with the need to get then in the boat. We found these people and the make them disuse babble if you require.

Boy are they nice. We were simply stunned when they arrived.

I'm just fitting out a lined sailaway and we have been searching for a sofa and a chair, not too large. IKEA have a small sofa flat packed on offer at £89 and a tub chair at £39. Both only come in off-white but the addition of cushions or a throw will enhance them. The chair is less than 50cm so will go through or rear doors. Hope that helps.

Thanks for all the suggestions! It was the 90CM depth that has been putting me off but that small ikea one at that ridiculous price is perfect!
