We recently bought two sofas and a bespoke chair from Supreme Upholstery and I have to say we are delighted with them and the fantastic customer service we received. I'm a bit of a stickler for good customer service, even if the products are good but the service we received was second-to-none and for that reason I would love to recommend this company to you. Here are some pictures of our sofas - the Durrow range - leather with contrast piping just as requested and the bespoke chair built to our specification so as to fit into the gap. I also love the bespoke foot stool. Honestly nothing was too

Just back from visiting this factory, and was so impressed with the quality of the furniture that I had to post something! The range is fantastic, and the quality of the leather, and the workmanship involved, is stunning. Like its website (which I am now viewing to help me make my final decision about which sofas to choose!), the factory is tastefully designed to make viewing the sofas an absolute pleasure, and the staff couldn't be more helpful (without being overbearing either!). Definitely one to visit if you're looking for classic furniture which will look beautiful in your home.
