Helping Provide Affordable Furniture Since 1981

We are a Registered Charity set up in 1981 to provide affordable re-used furniture, electrical appliances and household goods. We stock a wide range of items over three floors of our Loughborough showroom, including pre-owned furniture for home and offices.

Our stock of furniture and electrical goods are a testament to the generosity of individuals and who recognise the value in extending the life cycle of these goods. We collect 1,000's of items for reuse, and stop 100's of tonnes of furniture and electrical items from ending up in landfill sites!

Testimonials

I'm very satisfied and happy with the service at SOFA. I've been coming for years because the stuff is decent and the people are nice - they help you. I feel welcome and comfortable. It's a friendly environment where you don't feel judged. I've had all sorts of things fom SOFA - units, a chair, lamps, a table, a settee, a bed. The furniture is affordable, reasonable prices - not extortionate or sky high. I love it!

S.H.

I would like to say thank you for everyone's help at SOFA. Tony and Chris were great and they managed to move all the furniture. Thank you.

I just wanted to let you know how grateful we are for the help we have received from all of the staff at SOFA. Your staff are very friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them, both in the shop and on delivery. I feel very happy to nip in when I am in Loughborough. The staff make us feel very comfortable and don't talk down to us just because we are a bit down on our luck. I personally don't know what I would have done without you. I think you are all BRILLIANT!!!

I would like to thank SOFA for an excellent service in providing us with good quality second hand office furniture. We have recently moved sites and needed a whole set of desks and cabinets for our back office. SOFA had a large selection of used office furniture to choose from and also delivered to our site for a small charge. To have bought this same furniture new would have cost considerably more than SOFA charged. SOFA provided good quality second hand office furniture at a bargain price and I would highly recommend their services to any business.
