          • D1977 on 28/12/2021 - 20:11

            @geshc: I guess it depends on your budget. My 3 seater with a chaise from Harvey Norman was about $1300 on sale in 2009. Still going strong and still looks good. If your parents are going to get pets or have small kids around don’t go crazy on a lounge that could get damaged or dirty.

            • geshc on 28/12/2021 - 20:13

              @D1977: Around your price too. Looking for 3 seater for up to $1500-$2000 (if can be found under, then fantastic!).

              • D1977 on 28/12/2021 - 20:18

                @geshc: Try Amart or Fantastic Furniture. Lots on their website on sale at the moment. Look for a long warranty on the frame. Mine had a 10 year warranty on the frame.

            • Richardc on 28/12/2021 - 20:35

          Not in our case. Parents bought a leather sofa years back, over 3k on sale you'd expect something that expensive to be good.. right? They had it in a room no one used for a couple years then when we started sitting on it, within a month or two the cushion you sit on deformed/kind of flopped out. No one's over 80kg so weight was not an issue. Obviously out of warranty. Since then i've deterred as many people as I can from nick scalli

            @johnnytran: Not out of ACL…. considering price paid, you would expect years of service, so you can claim

            • johnnytran on 28/12/2021 - 23:35

              @TimOfEastBNE: It's been too long (probably over 10 years, had no idea about ACL back then)

        • Drakesy on 29/12/2021 - 15:36

          Nic scali's stuff is actually pretty good
          Their business model is smart though that most things are made to order so they rarely have clearances
          Although the wait times are 3 months on custom sofas

        At the risk of getting abused… Harvey Norman… big range, with many Aussie options (quicker delivery, better warranty) at a decent price. You can always pick the one you want and call around until a store proprietor does the deal you want. Also their furniture warranty is good if you have kids that own textas.

    Click and collect not available, is it available for anyone?
    It says not available for this item and add an extra $195 for delivery so more like $1,443 total for the 2.5 seater (probably good idea to + delivery to the post title), which for a malt leather product seems a bit of a deal (maybe worth $2,000 elsewhere but $5.5k seems a bit off).

    Assuming the sofa costs $500 to manufacture and ship here, that's almost a 1000% profit margin at full price…

    • henno on 28/12/2021 - 20:15
      +13

      Is this a number just plucked completely from thin air to be mad about margin?

      • Hamlet on 29/12/2021 - 09:47

        Not mad about margin, just wondering how their business model works. I'm assuming that they earn from high profit margins instead of by volume given the premium product that is affordable only for the wealthier middle class market.

        I'm not an expert on furniture so yeah, the number is plucked out of thin air to make my point. You are welcome to make your own guess but I suppose we may never know the true figure.

    • JelIyfish on 28/12/2021 - 20:19

      Assuming the sofa costs $5000 to manufacture and ship here, that's almost a 75.05% loss margin at sale price…

      • financialminimalism on 28/12/2021 - 20:37
        +3

        I guess you could just make your own and save that margin.

    • t25 on 28/12/2021 - 23:11

      Doesn't matter what it cost to make. Unless you have the means to get it at cost it is irrelevant. Even if the cost is $1 shipped to your door it means nothing unless you can physically secure it at that price.

      • Hamlet on 29/12/2021 - 09:45

        Thinking more from a business sense, it does matter. These are higher-grade premium furniture products that, based on my understanding of the industry, makes money from profit margin more so than volume. So it's interesting to hazard a guess at their profit margin at RRP.

    • odysseus on 29/12/2021 - 01:35

      Hey, if you're going to pluck numbers out of thin air, why not assume it only cost $50 to make? Or $5? Or maybe even $0.50?

      • Hamlet on 29/12/2021 - 09:49

        Because just shipping alone costs more than $50. My $500 figure is pretty much plucked out of thin air with the guess that the company makes money through high profit margins. You are welcome to make your own guesses.

    • abc on 28/12/2021 - 22:17

      I added a random pair of shoes which were also "discounted in cart" and the price of the sofa jumped to $3846.50 which is 30% off the full price of $5495.00

      Not sure about whether it's a price error as adding other items to the cart has no effect on the $1248.00 price.

      Saw in my email that there was an "extra 10% off" deal for Rewards members which ended yesterday. So if this was an additional $124.80 off (ex del) I would be jumping on board but not too sure about it for $1443 delivered :(

    Used to be fantastic quality and made in Melbourne. Then the Chinese bought the company and the quality is nowhere near what it was but still expensive because of the reputation the original Moran had. At this price it's probably ok value.
