DFS. Discount Furniture Store. TMAACAITWS. The Most Annoying And Corny Adverts In The World Store.
When DFS were introduced into the battle of the furniture stores, they may've looked quite promising. Perhaps people thought, "Wow, these guys might be better than Courts!"
But then, people saw the adverts.
These adverts were bad enough to make people throw up. Literally. One adverts had these 2 annoying 'presenter' type people, to introduce DFS. Then they showed pictures of their 'beautiful' sofas, and all of them were at 'amazing' prices.
Then, they showed a perfect family (sexy, fashionable mother, hunky, strong father, and the perfect little boy and girl.) Once this 'family' had found the 'perfect' sofa for them, the boy and the dad slapped high fives, and the mum and girl hugged.
Now, when I was a kid, I HATED going to furniture stores. They were boring. So, when I walked into Courts for instance, I didn't walk around with my parents with a big grin on my face, looking at all the sofas and beds. I used to play run-around hide-and-seek with my brother, knocking all the little price signs over, and hiding behind all the big desks!!
And when my mum and dad found a sofa they liked, I didn't slap my dad a high five!! I didn't care!! My sister didn't hug my mum!!!
Now, these adverts are the stupidest and corniest I've ever seen. Do they really think that type of advert is going to attract people to their store?? "Oh yes, darling!! Let's go to DFS, where we can be a perfect family, and we can all hug we we find the perfect sofa, which we are defintely going to find!!"
That is not going to happen, is it.
So, when I saw these adverts, and compared them to the mildly amusing Courts advert, I had already decided that Courts were the better store.
I mean, the prices are okay at DFS, but not THAT amazing.
The sofas/beds/desks are okay, but not THAT brilliant. No better than Courts anyway.
I've also had many reports from friends of DFS having very poor delivery and customer service.
The adverts are a little better now, thank god, but I've been to the store, and there's nothing new, nothing amazing, nothing brilliant. Just your plain old Furniture Discount Store.
In my opinion, I advise you to go to Courts, as my family have never had any real problems with their service (apart from the odd late delivery.)
But remember, next time you see a DFS advert, turn the television off. Straight away.
Thanks for reading, Ant.

I've never liked commercials especially dodgy ones like that. I'm lucky enough to not get put the misery of going to a furniture store and I don't really want to go to one.
I can't see anyone enjoying forking out money for a sofa!
