Christopher Pratts

From a single-room miner's cottage in Gunnerside, Swaledale to the largest and most lavish furniture store in the country at Regent Street, Leeds - Yorkshire, Christopher Pratts has come a long way in 175 years. Our founder, Christopher Pratt, was 11 years old when his recently widowed mother left the family cottage in the remote Dales village of Gunnerside to join her brothers in Bradford. Christopher's dad, a leadminer, had died in the treacherous conditions deep in the Swaledale mines - leaving his wife and 13 children without any income.

Expert knowledge is always on hand, our sales team are fully trained, visiting our manufacturers to see craftsmen and women at work, learning how furniture is made so they can give you the best advice. Our service includes our very own delightful team of drivers, who will deliver your furniture with care and expertise. Once they have positioned your furniture where you want it, they will unwrap, assemble and take the packaging away for recycling. We then met paul who again went the extra mile to help, were given 5* service and found just what we were after so bought the suite from him.
