What are the benefits of having a custom made armchair?

A custom-made armchair gives you furniture that's perfectly suited to your home and lifestyle. The choice of thousands of fabrics means you can match existing furnishings or create a completely new look, whilst selecting the right cushion filling ensures the comfort level is spot-on for you. Firmer foam seats suit those who prefer support, while feather-filled options offer that sink-in softness. Our re-upholstery service demonstrates our commitment to longevity, but starting with a custom piece means you get exactly what you want from day one. Built by experienced craftsmen using solid beech frames with a 25-year guarantee, a bespoke armchair represents genuine value. The bolt-on arm option available on certain designs also makes delivery through tricky access points much simpler.

 

What is our process for building an armchair?

Your bespoke armchair journey begins with a showroom visit where we'll discuss your requirements and take you through fabric samples, cushion options, and design details. Our team will help you understand the differences between our chair styles, from the Albert to the Jubilee, Turnberry to the Sorrento. Once you've selected your fabric and specifications, our skilled framemakers begin construction using solid beech, with all joints glued, screwed, and dowelled for strength. The frame receives 9-gauge serpentine springs, hand-clipped by our master upholsterers to ensure even support. Padding and cushion fillings are then applied according to your chosen comfort level, before your selected fabric is expertly fitted with attention to pattern matching and seam placement. The entire process takes approximately 8 weeks for standard dimensions or 12 weeks for bespoke sizing. We deliver using our own transport team, who'll hand deliver your furniture into your chosen room and also dispose of all the packaging.
