Really disappointed. Poor quality furniture, bought a Blake sofa and quality is very poor. Fabric looks rally cheap and old fashioned. Would not recommend this brand

Took delivery of our Manhattan Minor sofa, Broadway love chair and Eaton chair a week before Christmas. I just love it. The quality is just amazing. Very accommodating in our needs. Love chair made slightly narrower, sofa with removable back to facilitate entry into our home.(the Manhattan is a large high back sofa) If you require something special, go to the David Foundry site in Long Eaton. Many thanks to Paul Foundry, Ponsfords Sheffield and their two delivery guys.
