Nabru User Reviews
Opted for a five seater L shaped sofa with built in bed.
Read all the reviews so felt I knew what to expect as regards assembly etc.
From ordering online to delivery took under 3 weeks and delivery was on time. The palette was really massive and covered in shrink wrap, it looked truly formidable and I did wonder what on earth we'd let ourselves in for!
We waited a couple of days until the weekend to assemble the sofa as we knew it was going to take a while!
My main concern was that there would be something missing as there were literlly dozens of different bits and pieces, but amazingly, every single item was present and correct and we got stuck in on Saturday morning!
We found it easier to identify the mdf pieces from the diagram then write in pencil on them what they were. That would be my only niggle really, as it took while to sort them out and it looked like a huge jigsaw puzzle!
I left my partner to get on with it after the first couple of hours and took the dog for a walk as he was getting frustrated (mainly with himself) and the expletives were coming thick and fast!
The metal action bed took abit of sussing out and the instructions for that particular stage were'nt particularly comprehensive, but we got there in the end.
In total it took us about 7 hours from start to finish, including bringing in everything from the pallete in my garage and tidying up at the end.
Several months later I can report that my Nabru sofa in Holland Barley is very comfy and looks good. The sofa bed is also very good, although not the thickest matress in the world, it certainly is more than up to the job and I've had no complaints yet!
The sofa looks just the job in my lounge, fits perfectly and I feel it represents excellent value for money as long as you're prepared to spend abit of time putting it all together.
Of course, a smaller sofa and one without a bed would take considerably less time to assemble.
I would happily recommend Nabru to anyone who's looking for a comfortable, stylish and value for money sofa.

So, our sofa was screwed. It was a very cheap Argos sofa which we inherited second-hand several years ago. It was pretty knackered when we got it, let alone after years of abuse.
Hence, new sofa time (I've never bought brand new furniture before!). We designed our own from Nabru, which turned out to be a lot cheaper than buying something from DFS or the like. It arrived on a pallet, in pieces. I put it together with relatively little effort (or thought!). You might notice I put the arm covers on the wrong way around and had to change them - if I'd paid more attention to what I was doing, it wouldn't have taken more than half an hour or so, probably less.
It's well comfy. It's nice and solid-feeling (heavy!). We got to choose fabrics and colours, and paid significantly less than high-street prices. It's hard to say for sure about long-term comfort and/or durability, but it doesn't give the impression that it's going to fall apart anytime soon. Very impressed.
Note that in the video, I hadn't quite put the seats together fully - when totally finished, there's no visible wood pieces. There were seat options (soft and firm), so wanted to trial each one before final assembly.

Can I just say how pleased I am with the sofa I have purchased from Nabru. I had a great time putting it together and it fits perfectly, I’ve had lots of compliments and enquiries as to where I purchased the sofa from. You designed it exactly how I requested it with no problems. I will definatly use your company again and recommend you to anyone who asks!!
