First time posting in years so please be gentle…

Noticed King Furniture was having a 50% off sale which they have on a semi-regular basis but I’m not sure if they usually include the free leather upgrade.
Seemed like a good deal compared to other sofas of comparable quality.

Edit: includes free fabric protection if you dont want leather (Thanks chillybags)

Edit 2: I asked their online chat, they said it's the first time they've done free upgrade to leather.

Edit 3: They also have sale on their other configurations, but you'll have to call them or go on online chat

    OP, also includes free fabric protection if you dont want leather (only a $229 saving but at least something).

    We bought Jasper II back in feb, with delivery due in June. We spoke with them and they said we can upgrade to leather if we want to - but we are opting to stick with the fabric.

    • MANU7D on 13/04/2020 - 21:42

      Leather was nearly twice the cost.

      • chillybags on 13/04/2020 - 21:43

        Yes it is - leather upgrade is a great deal if you want it

    • NotSpanky on 13/04/2020 - 22:48

      Hi, how hard did you have to work to get them to match the current offer even after ordering? Ordered Delta in fabric in JAN/FEB, would think seriously about leather.

      • chillybags on 13/04/2020 - 23:02

        Not very hard. I called up a day or two after the sale started and they were not sure in store about the sale as it only just started. They had to get onto the manager and called me back the next day and confirmed that we could get it.

  • Izzyq19 on 13/04/2020 - 21:38

  • Bandicute on 13/04/2020 - 21:49

    I have a Delta II, got it about a year and a half ago around these same prices and I absolutely love it. It's a big purchase but I have zero regrets.
    The fabric is still taut but soft/comfortable.

    Nice couches, but prices are erratic and questionable.

    Bought the Opera in highbury fabric for $820 about 18 months ago.

    Now with this "sale", the same couch = $1,450 (!).

    And with the "free leather upgrade", it's now $2,190 (!)…. I'm pretty sure jumping from $1450 to $2190 is not "free"!!

    Wow…50% AND free leather upgrade? Damn!

    Love my King couch - going on 10 years I’ve had it, and still in great condition! Have moved from my tiny inner city townhouse to a family home in the burbs - the modular nature means it can be configured to suit the completely different spaces in a way non-modulars could never do! Love it!

    But I do die a little bit on the inside when I see how much it would cost me to buy the same couch (or equivalent) now, especially this deal, compared to how much I paid! lol :)

      Yeah, someone should complain. See my above example with the Opera couch. Prices have gone UP, and the leather upgrade os NOT FREE!

    • caprimulgus on 13/04/2020 - 22:11
      +3

      Afaik, the NU Touch leather is a different range than the True Touch leather, which is their highest end leather. So it’s a free upgrade to the cheaper leather ranges only. (Free upgrade to Viva leather is working properly)

      FWIW, the True Touch leather is really really nice…but also really really expensive! (And I’m not made of that kind of money!)

      Edit: But yeah, looks like the free upgrade for Opera is bugged out, like dangerdanger said!

      Out King suite is about 15 years old. The premium quality leather is wearing a little on the edges but is still supple and it still looks good. We do look after it, cleaning and conditioning it annually ourselves.

      the quality is at different level. this is a top end furniture in quality. light weight and steel frames all around. many of other sofas are made with timber frames. that makes them heavy and less durable.

      • jellical on 14/04/2020 - 03:05
        +3

        Timber is extremely light (if that's a timber and not some laminated sh*t) and would easily handle several thousands of kilos during hundreds of years.

        Frame isn't the heaviest part of the high end furniture anyway. And your point is invalid, high end furniture is super heavy it simply can not be light weight because of higher quality materials which are heavier than in some entry level furniture.

        Frames also cost literally nothing compare to the price of some good quality upholstery and other materials though, so this is the weirdest proof of quality I have ever heard.

        Couches lose 1/2 (or more) of their value when you take it out the store.

    I’ve got three King couches, bought at different time’s so they aren’t matching, apart from being all black leather.
    They are incredibly comfortable and the leather lasts well. Ours double as single beds when we have people staying over.
    The best deals are when you can buy the floor stock on discount and I would, certainly, go for the leather upgrade. In summer we drape the couches In a sheet and winter blankets but the leather makes is durable and easy to clean up if you spill something on it. The King leather care stuff is very good as well.

      • Foxxster on 14/04/2020 - 08:26

        Yep. I got display stock also. Not a mark on it, was effectively brand new. I paid the same as these current prices, just a bit more than 1/3 of rrp.

          When we got our floor stock one it was sold with the two free leather cushions that were displayed with it. When it was delivered the cushions were missing so we contacted them to see if they had been left on the delivery truck. They couldn’t find the cushions so they got two made up for us and delivered them at no extra cost. We fully expected them to fob us off that the cushions weren’t part of the set and the discount price, blah, blah. Pleasantly surprised.

        • aec on 14/04/2020 - 10:04

          so you guys actually are convincing some potential buyers to check the floor stock which should be even cheaper than the current half-price promotion?

          • Foxxster on 14/04/2020 - 10:42

            @aec: Floor stock sale only happens every so often. Not part of this sale. They will announce a floor stock clearance sale .

            • try2bhelpful on 14/04/2020 - 10:57

              @Foxxster: Floor stock clearances are, normally, about twice a year, from memory. When I did mine I checked out the store beforehand and knew what I wanted, I got there pretty early on the day of the sale, before the door opened and, fortunately, the lady in front of me didn’t want what I wanted. If you are going to do the floor stock you need to check different stores to see what they will have available. The risk is you might miss out if someone gets there before you do and you are getting the “demo” version.

          • caprimulgus on 14/04/2020 - 11:02
            +2

            @aec: I totally understand where you are coming from (obviously well-intentioned), however:

            Firstly, floor stock is listed for sale online. It's not a matter of going in-store and bargaining for the display model - these are older floor stock that are periodically listed on the website, presumably from changeover of what is displayed in store. So it's not encouraging people to go instore to bargain for the display model! It's a periodic sale that they do to clear and refresh floor stock. (Perhaps that should have been made clearer.)

            Secondly, if you don't need to buy a couch urgently*, then yeah - I would recommend waiting until after the lockdown, so you can go in and try the couches for yourself. A couch is a pretty big purchase for most people, and these aren't particularly cheap couches - you'll be sitting on them for a very long time (coming on 10 years for mine). I wouldn't recommend buying a couch sight unseen/un-sitted-on (in an ideal world obviously). So if you can wait until post-corona, I would suggest you do!

            Having said that, this is not an ideal world at the moment - so if you need a couch now, or want to take advantage of the free leather upgrade (who knows whether it will be offered in future), then you might want to buy now. That's up to you!

            *FWIW, if you order from King Furniture, you will not be getting the couch any time soon! Just a warning, but they are made to order (except floor stock, obviously), so you will be waiting months for your couch to arrive from China! So if you need a couch urgently for lockdown, then King may not be the best choice for you!

            :)

            • try2bhelpful on 14/04/2020 - 11:05

                @try2bhelpful: To clarify, you may need to go instore to actually purchase (I haven't purchased floor stock). But the floor stock that is for sale is posted online for each store - so you can browse online before rushing to the store (or phoning?) to secure it! :)

                I was too impatient to wait for floor stock, and just bought mine during their normal sales. :)

      Meowbert - King is an Australian brand? Not Chinese.

      I love both of our king couches. But I’m skeptical if the free leather upgrade. Every time I’ve bought something, they keep telling me leather prices have gone up.

      I suspect they’re pulling a chemist warehouse pricing here. Inflate the price then discounting it.

      • try2bhelpful on 14/04/2020 - 00:57

        I would never pay full price for their couches but at 50% off they are pretty good value and, if you get the floor stock, you can get up to 70% off. Although, you might want to give floor stock a good going over with a sanitiser if you buy it at the moment.

So I haven't bought any since. Do you really think Apple products are fairly priced? They are rapidly increasing in price, and it's been proven that they have ridiculous profit margins. The components are only worth a few hundred, and aren't they assembled in asia now? Probably minimal wages. Yet they charge over $1000

      Frankly I’m more about the value than cheapness. I bought my first King Lounge from Daimaru and they closed down in 2002. So that one is, probably, 20 years old now. The second one I bought because it was so comfortable, but also on special, and the third I paid $2500 for a very generous size two seater couch, including adjacent large size chaise lounge and 2 leather cushions; this one was In their best quality leather. It was Floor stock and too good a deal to pass up.

  • FuRyZ on 14/04/2020 - 07:01

    That is a great deal, we have a Delta III we purchased last year on the last 50% off sale. Would have got it in leather if we had the choice, the premium on leather was painful. Can't complain about the fabric though, its excellent quality.

  • Foxxster on 14/04/2020 - 08:23

    This is an excellent deal especially if you are after leather. Not only is leather the same price as fabric on certain sofas like the Jasper 2, the upgraded leather (next level up not the top grade) is also the same price. Yes there are limited colours for that grade and yes you have limited options but this price will not be repeated I suspect ever. It might be worth going to the online chat to see if you can further customise if you want storage, smart pockets etc, might work, might not.

    I got a leather Jasper 2 that was a display stock and it was this price so getting a brand new one at that price is fantastic. The normal sale price is around 2 to 3k more. Having said that, my display stock didn’t have a mark on it and was for all intents and purposes also brand new.

    Any OzB improvements before I pull the trigger?
    Doesn’t seem to be on cash rewards

    This deal is a bit suspicious.. check some of the comments before you pull the trigger.
