Advice needed re Swoon Mackay Display Coffee Table

3 years ago

I have bought a 2nd hand Swoon Mackay Display Coffee table but the screws or bolts needed to assemble it are missing. Does anyone know what size I need?
I've contacted swoon & they've refused to help as I didn't buy it directly from them.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I would love to be there to help you in person! I have an design background, which has helped me to help friends with re-arranging their homes for sale - and I love doing this. I would say, take the sofa with its back in empty space away from there for a start. This always feels counter-intuitive when you sit on it (as avoiding a table in the centre of a restaurant does). You have two great sofas, I would move the one facing the TV much further down towards where the tall plant and table are at present. Then put the other one in front of the window, pull it slightly away from the radiator so you still get heat and don't burn the back of the sofa! If that first sofa is close to the room devide, it looks as if it would fit in under the window between the wall and the door OK. You can then slightly push the TV and stand towards the right, probably at an angle so both sofas can see it. It might even fit under the overhanging wall a bit, where it could look more naturally as if it should go. You can then put the plant to the left of the TV, that is to the right of the door frame. I would not normally put a tall plant and a small table together, thats too much going on in one small area, so put the small table as a coffee table on the rug, much more functional as well as better on the eye. I might exchange the plant for the standard lamp if you don't have much soft lighting in the room, as its very important to give that comfy feel and you don't want glaring overhead light to watch TV with. A few more orangey tones would add a bit of warmth too, could be more geometrics, scandi looking like that rug, could be some nice plump cushions, they are not expensive nowadays to replace, maybe a striking print or poster or two and a nice orange flowered plant or some flowers on the windowsill. I'm not a fan of photos on windowsills, they can look very messy as well as fading fast. Likewise, I agree with previous comment, lose the tiebacks, these always look very dated and a bit down at heel. Better to put all the photos together in a strong grouping on the cupboard you have around the corner under the stairs, or on some other shelving. Hope this helps!

Hi Josefina. It looks a fantastic space although you could do cartwheels down the middle :) If the laminate is firmly attached to the doors then you should be able to paint them. I like the idea of shelves on the main run if you have the budget for wall repairs. As Jonathan said you may end up with a hole in the larder (?) unit so may need to remove that unit and re-use the side panel on the base unit. I'd definitely remove the unit over the bin but would consider leaving the sink Ones for storage. I'd stick with the existing worktop, I don't know if you have previous experience of a concrete worktop but it doesn't sound easy and would need to check units could support I think. If you can I would also change the tap. I've seen green appear a few times in your ideabook so tried finding a pic with similar doors to see if you like them. Would also go with brass for handles. I might just use washable white paint on the walls to save money on a splashback. I must admit I like the fire and it's adding character so I wouldn't remove it personally however I would remove the fender and change the hearth. If not then I'd paint the stone or replace the surround. Is there room for a small round table for 4 beneath the light with either a glass table or clear acrylic chairs such as eames? A built in bookcase would be great next to the fire but it depends on your extension plans. If you watch tv I'd consider a small chaise sofa on the lhs with a tv opposite and chair in the corner nearest the kitchen to keep the bifold door free. Perhaps either a slim footstool or glass coffee table depending on seating needs. I might also paint the bifolds black :)

Hi Keswing, I had exactly the same problem with my hubby!!! Haha! The great thing with concept planners is they will pass their trade discounts onto you! We actually used Gina from Create Perfect on here (but she does exactly the same as OnePlan) who I would highly recommend and the fab thing was that even after her fees it saved us money because she passed on all the trade discounts! I highly recommend getting in touch with OnePlan and Create Perfect and getting quotes from both of them. If you ask them both to send you the list of companies they get trade discount with then you can show that to your hubby and knowing you're in the market for some serious spending on a kitchen and presumably a bit of new furniture then you'll be able to show it's cost neutral! :) We saved over £1,500 in our kitchen alone through Create Perfect getting us discounts with our chosen suppliers (probably worth noting that it doesn't limit your choices as the kitchen company we chose from her concept plan she'd never dealt with before but she set up a trade account just for us, the same for our underfloor heating and actual floor) Hope it helps and good luck!

Thanks everyone, this is so helpful!!! Dundrum that made me chuckle. I will stick to my guns but sadly the retailers have an aversion to pistachio. Went round huge Next home store today, tonnes of curtain fabric options in all colours except pistachio!!! Grrrr! Thank you again Man about House, I will persevere and I covet your curtains!!! I think I may well get the original rug you found! Thanks Laura will also look at French Connection, who would have thought! The parquet floors are from 1962 and I am chuffed to bits how they have come up, waited 3.5 years to do them! Angie and celery girl, very good points re rug size, my last Ikea one was definitely in the "not this" category!! Thanks also for the image celerygirl, I like the poufs very much but the trouble is the room is Lshaped and the walkway goes past them Any views on the coffee table dilemma everyone? As for brown sofa wish could replace asap. Would you believe someone gave me a beautiful South African wood sideboard and I kept it for a few years until eBaying it for a pittance! I even tried it in the space, see pic, yikes, I thought it was too dominant but maybe not....!
