Reversible Modular Sofa

One of the main benefits of having a modular sofa is you can rearrange the assembly to a different shape. Here is a couple of videos I  find quite interesting. The second one is more interesting to me. I always tend to look for the best value for money I believe buying modular sofa is far better than a fixed shape sofa. Easy to transport, convenient, easy to dispose, easy to fit in your room and above all much cheaper.

Modular Sofa

Looking for cheap modular sofa? Have a look at my Nabru Sofa Review. 

Modular sofas goes into your home or any confined space easily. This is because they have independent seats which can be move separately.  They can easily be reconfigured to different shapes including U-Shape and L-Shape. Many modular sofas can be rearranged to use it as a bed. The direction of the L Shaped sofa can be changed by just turning the corner sofa and the associated seats.


One of the main advantages of modular sofas is it's easy to move across and fit in the difficult access areas.

So if you live in a flat where you have difficulty in getting a pre-built sofa, or want to furnish your loft space, or put sofa in your boat  or any other confined space, then modular sofa is the best choice.

Another advantage is it is easy to expand according to your need. Also if you spoil a part of your sofa, you could just replace that module which is much cheaper compared to buying a full sofa.

There are companies who offer self assembly modular sofas. Their prices are amazingly cheaper. One of the UK's top self assembly modular sofa is from Nabru sofa. They manufacture and retail their own line of sofas and sofa beds. Here is my review on nabru sofa.

I live in a third floor flat with narrow corridor where a large sofa can not be brought in as a single piece.  My search for  DIY sofa  brought up Nabru website and I found their self assembly sofa quite interesting.

The gallery on their website showed a wonderful collection of nabru sofas and the price was so cheap! 

Sofa Fabric Samples

Their cheap price on sofas made me sceptical about the quality and I decided to have a visit to their showroom which is  in Uxbridge. I was quite impressed to see the quality and the variety of combinations of their modular sofa. They offer sample fabric pieces for you to take home and decide later. I believe their showroom has atleast one sofa on display for every cloth/leather they offer.

Sofa Seat MDF board

I entered their showroom from the rear where they had a huge stock of sponges for the seats and I had the chance to actually feel it. They were of great quality and had good thickness. Another important thing I want to mention is that the wooden part in the Nabru sofa is actually MDF.  They are very strong and unlike wood it does not contain knots or rings. 

Coming home I designed my three Seat sofa with Wide Arm. Nabru Sofa Website has a 3D designer tool to design the sofa, giving us the choice to decide how the sofa should look like. Here we could choose from a variety of options including the size,  shape of the sofa,  Sofa Arm Width, Seat Width, clothes, chaise seat, softer seat and loads more. I designed my three seater nabru sofa and bought 4 cushions. The check out was amazingly easy and transparent. Full information on delivery was also given and I was speak to the  courier team to find out exactly what time they would deliver my sofa.

How Nabru Sofa Delivered?

Waterproofed Sofa Pack

The sofa comes in a flat pack, with seats, cushions and covers  in plastic bag and all water proofed. It was quite easy to take each item into my flat.  I would strongly recommend this self assembly sofas if you are looking for loft sofas or studio sofa. The heaviest bit in it was the Sofa Arm. But I found a good reason for that. Inside, it has an MDF piece support, making it really strong.

Nabru Sofa Assembly

Once all the bits insde in my flat, I was excited to start assembling. It was quite easy to distinguish all the parts (There weren't many ... no screws...or bolts). The instructions are very clear and easy to follow except putting the MDF board in to the seat cushion as the sponge in the seat cover was very tight. The instruction manual provided hints on how to do this easily. I think for an extra money Nabru offers assembly service.

Here is how I did the assembling.

• Put the back board into the back cushion

I store car jack, axle stands and loads more

Nabru sofa offers storage box which I didn't find of much use. Instead I use the empty space under the seats to store my car and diy tools. It's actually placing the items on floor directly but concealed by the sofa. You wouldn't believe, it has a plenty of space inside. Of course, once you start using that hidden space, it would be difficult to move the sofa.

Good thickness (8 inches) for the seats.

I opted for piping. I feel it adds more to the sofa.

These are the assembly manual pages. They are quite obvious to understand. There is no screws, bolts or anything that would confuse. I found the assembling quite easy. Nabru sofas offer assembly service for £40.

Finally, I am happy with the purchase. Genuinely, I find it great for such a cheap price. I would definitely recomment it to my friends. I shall update this review after six months to let you all know how my nabru sofa is performing.
