Pros and cons
Habitat
Pros
- Delivery of 0 weeks ranks 1 of 50 brands on delivery time, the strongest of its measured results.
- Returns run 30 days, which gives room to live with a sofa before deciding it is wrong for the room.
- The catalogue spans sofas, sofa beds and armchairs, so a living room, a bedroom and an outdoor space can come from the same seller.
Cons
- The warranty runs 1 year, placing Habitat 57 of 78 brands on cover length.
- Assembly included is a no, so flat-pack pieces are built at home and the listed price carries no build service.
- Free delivery is not available, and orders under £100 carry a delivery charge.
Sunjoy Group
Pros
- Returns run 30 days and delivery is free, so a set that does not suit the space can go back without a shipping charge added to the cost.
- Garden and dining pieces sit next to storage in outdoor furniture, dining and storage, so a full patio can be built in one order rather than across several sites.
- One store carries furniture, kitchen and lighting, which makes Sunjoy Group a place to buy garden seating alongside kitchen, lighting and decor.
Cons
- Support runs on email and help centre only, so there is no phone line to call about an order that is running late.
- The trial period runs 0 days, so a set has to be judged in store, while the longest trial among listed garden furniture brands reaches 100 nights.
- Assembly is not included with delivery, so putting a set together falls to you or to the separate assembly service.
Who each suits
Habitat
Who it suits
- Buyers in the United Kingdom, JE and GG who want a wide range under a single brand, with delivery listed at 0 weeks.
- Renters and short-stay households who may need to send a piece back, with 30 days to return.
- Material-led shoppers, since sofas come in fabric, leather and velvet and machine washable rugs sit in the rugs range.
Who should look elsewhere

- Buyers whose main event is a sofa or a bed should look at Dublino Moebel, whose product types cover sofas, armchairs and beds.
- Shoppers wanting a specialist in a single outdoor chair can compare Everywhere Chair, which lists outdoor furniture and dining.

Questions about each
Habitat
What does a sofa cost at Habitat?+
Sofa prices start at £285, which is the entry figure used when comparing UK furniture brands. The price is paid outright at checkout, so nothing renews afterwards and there is no subscription to cancel. Sofas are listed in fabric, leather and velvet, so the material choice moves the final figure above that entry point.
How fast is delivery?+
Delivery is listed at 0 weeks, which is the figure to plan a room refresh around. On the tracked delivery measure Habitat ranks 1 of 50 brands, the strongest of its results. Anything needed for a fixed date, such as before a tenancy start, is worth ordering well ahead.
Sunjoy Group
What does the cheapest Sunjoy Group garden set cost?+
The entry point for Sunjoy Group is $42.88, taken from the patio furniture sets rather than from a single promotional line. Ranked across the field, the brand places 6 out of 108 brands on price, so the floor sits at the cheap end rather than in the middle of the pack.
How long does delivery take at Sunjoy Group?+
Delivery takes 2 to 4 weeks, as set out in the shipping policy. The window covers every destination the store serves rather than the fastest routes only, and it marks the earliest and latest arrival, so leave room at the top end when a project has a fixed date.
