This brilliant Black Friday sofa deal just saved my wallet and my marriage

I know what you're thinking. That headline. That's clickbait. But let me tell you a story. In June of this year, my wife and moved from the city to a small and very old cottage in the countryside. It's proven quite the adjustment, moving from the city to the land of sheep and grass. But the biggest culture shock of all has been the stairs.

You see, getting anything up our cottage's pokey spiral staircase is an exercise in extreme frustration and, ultimately, failure. And nowhere has the sharp edge of defeat been felt more than in our attempts to install a sofa in the living room, which is upstairs. First we tried bringing our old sofa. No luck, it couldn't even turn the first corner. Then we ordered a 'modular' sofa from John Lewis. After an eleven (!) week lead time, it finally arrived in three parts. And yep, you guessed, it, these didn't fit up the stairs either. Talk about a disappointment.

By this point, tensions were high. My wife began questioning my sofa-choosing ability, as well as her husband-choosing ability. But then. Then! This week I learned about the 'sofa in a box' company, Swyft, whose entire range is currently up to 40% off for Black Friday.

From the moment I saw the installation video (below) for the Model 06, I was sold. These things are truly modular – and the ease of assembly is almost unbelievable, thanks to the ingenious 'hook' design (no screws required). And because of that modular design, you can fully customise the shape and size of the sofa to fit your requirements.

My 3-seater Model 06 arrived this morning, and I am delighted, nay, ecstatic, to tell you is currently sitting proud in our upstairs living room. Crisis (and divorce) averted.

With a timeless design, the Model 06 3-seater sofa, is as generous in space as it is in comfort. It has foam-filled cushions, large proportions and high back support, and the modular design makes assembly incredibly simple.
