To find it impossible to find mid range/ good quality furniture.
Then when you find anything medium range they don't deliver a white glove service. Just dump by front door!

Why is there so limited amount of online and in person furniture shops.
Yes I've been searching for hours for weeks.

Have a look at Task Rabbit for someone to build flat packs for you. I've got a guy here today building the most ridiculously complex IKEA Pax configuration - they've estimated it'll take 8-9 hours, and it's cost £250. To me, that's worth every penny as I wouldn't have a clue where to even start, let alone have the strength to do it by myself. He's been brilliant... turned up really early, quiet, polite and has just cracked on with it all day.

(Also, I'm out in the sticks so it's not just a Big City operation).

M&S have withdrawn again from furniture retailing.

This is a local-ish to me furniture retailer. Seems well respected locally. Hoping so as I have to take my mum in at some time to look at carpets.

I hadn't realised M&S had stopped selling furniture. Thanks for the heads up

Anyone got any nice medium to high ( clearance) range furniture delivered to room of choice in the last couple of months?
Without waiting weeks 😌

Neptune is very good for mid-range furniture. We bought an entire house worth of furniture from them when doing up our second home and the service was seamless.

Do you have any pictures of your ideal pieces, and perhaps a rough location?
