West Penwith Upholstery - Upholsterers & Furniture Makers - Furniture Design & Furniture Repairs in Penzance.

--- The furniture market is rife with special deals on three-piece suites, chairs and accessories. With prices for suites in some cases starting at £499. These deals are well and good, if your thoughts are very short term. However, if you are planning for the future, and you view lounge furniture as an investment, then you need to look at quality and value for money, and not just discounted prices and how long you have to pay for it!
--- The furniture and furnishing specialist can provide the "value for money" ingredient - with hand crafted furniture and soft furnishings, made to a design which is researched and discussed with you, the client, even before a piece of timber or roll of cloth is cut.

--- Many potential clients are frightened off by the thought of having a piece of furniture made to measure; the expectation of high prices, the knowledge that they will have to contribute to the design ideas, in many cases before they are able to see a piece in the flesh. These worries are largely unfounded as Master Upholsterers and Soft Furnishers have a great deal of experience in dealing with clients having similar worries on a day-to-day basis. They know from years of experience of design, what will work and what may not, and they will guide you, if you let them, into making the right choice.

--- The expectation of high prices is also in many cases unfounded, as many specialist upholsterers can manufacture a suite from the frame, to your own design, for around the same price as a "good" store bought product, and in some cases cheaper. Therefore, "value for money", if you think about it, is more likely from the bespoke specialist, who has fewer overheads and less hands to pass the product through - fewer hands, less commissions to pay, therefore you get more for your money. The same applies to soft furnishing. The specialist will be able to supply you with a basic set of curtains, or the most elaborate swags and tails, and many will provide schemes and suggestions as part of this service.
--- What this boils down to is service, and the one-on-one care and attention that only the small retailer, bespoke upholsterer or soft furnisher can provide. When you deal with these people you are dealing with, in most cases, the owner of the business or senior staff - people who believe that the customer is an investment who they will want to see time and time again. Therefore, they will make every effort to satisfy.

--- So when you are thinking of changing that tired old three-piece suite, or perhaps new drapes to brighten up your lounge, think of the specialist, compare the service and expertise with that of the multiples, and you will soon discover that bigger is not always better and service with a smile still exists, at least when you choose a Member of The Association of Master Upholsterers & Soft Furnishers. "Service and Civility" are our number one priorities.
