Thank you so much to you both for my gorgeous arm chair. I needed a chair which was higher than usual, so it was easier to get out of. All I could find in the usual shops were arm chairs that were really low to the ground. I went to Martin & Parker just for a 'look', as I expected bespoke furniture to be way out of my price range. How wrong I was! This little gem of a store has stylish furniture, made to measure at very reasonable prices.
I was astounded by the friendliness and professionalism, the choices in fabric / colours were never ending and the quality and finish are excellent. I am totally in love with my new arm chair, it is so well made and perfect for me. I can't thank you enough, it's amazing! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone, whatever you are looking for, try here first, you will not be disappointed.
