Fantastic service, most impressed, ordered sofa, two reclining chairs and a nest of tables, Martin was a pleasure to deal with, forget the big companies go there for personal, non pressurised, old school service.

We couldnt be happier with browns and highly recommend them. They are very knowledgeable (we bought a new bed, pillows and mattress) and the floor covering we bought is brilliant and was perfectly fitted by Brian King.

Absolutely delighted with the bed and two mattresses from this company. Top quality products, prices that rival the big retailers and amazing customer service. What more could you ask for except more of these smaller companies which make the buying experience a pleasure. Thank you Martin for exceeding my expectations by a country mile.

Amazing customer service and so helpful. Bought a boutique table for my beauty room and have had so many compliments on how stunning it is, not to mention the rug for my sitting room and how great the quality is. I will definitely be returning thanks to Martin for being so helpful!

Definitely five star service. A lovely family run concern where nothing is too much trouble. We have purchased lots of things over the years and hope to continue to do so. I would recommend Martin and his staff without hesitation. Shirley Wetherell
