Thank you for your efforts on our behalf. We are very pleased with our re-upholstered suite. Your attention to detail and communication with us has been excellent customer service. Mrs DI Miller

I would like to say how very pleased I am with the re-upholstery of my suite. It is far better than the original. I wish to thank everyone concerned and it was well worth the money, even though people thought I was mad not to buy a new suite. They have all changed their minds now. I cannot praise the workmanship enough. Mrs Flanagan

This particular order is interesting not so much for the process of reupholstering it, but for the complex shape of the sofa and the rather unusual pouffe. It also shows how a different effect can be created by using a second fabric choice on one item of furniture In this case, three fabrics are used; the stripe on the pouffe, a plain chenille fabric for the sofa frame and then a colour matched brocade pattern on the seat and back cushions.

With twin drop arms this sofa is fairly unusual. The drop arms are held up with quite ornate wooden carved rope holders. To complete the order there was a matching Louis XV style dining chair and large footstool. This was an enjoyable task for the re-upholsterer and the end result was superb with a very happy customer who agreed to be a model for our website!
