Would a Sofa Workshop help?

I reckon that’s as true of sofas as it is of anything else.
A couple of hours in front of the old goggle box, or 60”, surround sound, plasma flat screen home entertainment system, watching a commercial television channel will confirm that. It would appear that companies that sell sofas have a virtual monopoly during the ad breaks in the evening. They may actually have an all day monopoly, but I haven’t, as yet, succumbed to morning and/or daytime telly.
But at night there appears to be no shortage of adverts extolling the virtues of a number of companies that sell sofas. Each and every one of those ads seduces you with the promise of a sofa to meet your needs at a price that only a fool would refuse.
Now while there are strict guidelines on what advertising can and cannot say, and I’m sure nobody is trying to hoodwink anyone in any way shape or form, the reality doesn’t always match the sales pitch.
Forget the fact that in the adverts the sofas are presented in most peoples idea of a dream living room: large, spacious, roomy, tastefully decorated, and with fireplace, flooring and other furnishings equally as idyllic as the sofas. Sure some people live in homes like that, but not the majority of us. So I can get my head round that one.
The amount of choice is another thing altogether. Are there really that many different styles and types of sofas? I mean, how many different styles and types of sofas can there be? Maybe I would be pleasantly surprised to discover that there are as many different styles and types as the adverts lead you to believe.
A sofa workshop might help. A ‘sofa expert’ could lead the workshop and, with the aid of an all singing all dancing PowerPoint presentation, provide the audience with the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about all the different styles and types of sofas that really do exist.
Actually, an even better type of sofa workshop might be one that shows you how to maintain your sofa and keep it looking as shiney and new as it did when you bought it. Then again, maybe not. Because the reality is your new sofa is never going to look as good as it did when you first bought it. Unless of course you keep the plastic coverings on it, ban children and pets from the room, as well as smoking, drinking and eating, and for that matter any actual sitting on the new sofa. Which kind of defeats the purpose of buying the new sofa in the first place.
Could it be there is a market for practical sofas as opposed to dream sofas? That might be a sofa workshop worth attending!
