Q: Is your furniture expensive?

A: James and Rose make handmade bespoke upholstery to the highest of standards. So you may well think it would be very expensive?

But… we supply our customers direct from our workshop, therefore we have no salesmen to pay a commission and no expensive high street stores to fund. So we believe a like-for-like purchase on the high street, if you could find furniture of this choice and quality, would be at least double the cost. And you would not have the advantage of talking direct to the people making your furniture and, little or no control or involvement in the process.

Although our individual prices are on the website, we do provide discounts on multiple orders so please contact us today on 01772 702855, and you may be surprised how little a quality handmade sofa from James and Rose could cost.
