We've been a family-run business since 1975, creating handmade furniture Portsmouth customers have trusted for over 50 years. Everything happens under one roof with our workshop and showroom in Farlington. Our bespoke sofas are built right here using solid beech frames and traditional techniques that have barely changed over the past half-a-century, and you can choose from thousands of fabrics to get exactly the comfort and look you're after. If you prefer established brands, we stock sofa brands like G Plan, Ercol, Himolla, Stressless, and Parker Knoll; names we've chosen because they share our approach to quality and longevity.

For upholstery in Portsmouth, our re-upholstery service has been transforming tired furniture for nearly 50 years, with master craftspeople giving sofas and chairs a complete new lease of life. In addition to seating, we create curtains from over 10,000 fabric choices with free home consultations, as well as suppling and fitting blinds from traditional Roman styles to smart motorised systems. And we also provide carpets from quality brands like Ulster and Victoria with professional fitting included.

Our showroom has everything you need, and our team takes the time to understand what you're looking for without any pressure; just honest advice and service that's kept customers coming back for generations.
