After friends telling me to avoid LeCornu like the plague, I ordered a couch with Discount Lounge Centre (paid in full upfront). Both stores had a similar couch, the one at Lecornu being $1800 and an 8 week wait, DLC being $1600 with a 12 week wait. After 12 weeks I went and enquired about the status of my lounge. Was told it would be another month. Went back a month later to be told it hadn't shipped from China yet (3 weeks by sea, another week in customs). Was offered free delivery and told it was shipping the next week (I was given an exact ship date and everything). I left it another month and went to check thinking it would almost be here to be told IT HADN'T EVEN SHIPPED YET. So after 6 months from my order date I told them to stick it and got my money back, headed down the road to LeCornu and was told the similar couch was in stock there and I could have it that week. Suffice to say I would never, ever recommend DLC or only buy a stock item from there. Must admit their staff were very embarrassed and very polite but communicated terribly (why did I have to chase everything up?).

Approximate cost: $1600
