I'm looking for one additional chair for my lounge. I'm off to Next in Croydon tomorrow as they have one I quite like the look of but I want to sit in it first to make sure it's comfy as it's not the cheapest.

However this morning I popped into a local charity shop as I'd seen a chair in their window; had a sit in it and it's actually really comfy but in the most horrid colour that won't match at all. The chair is priced at £60 but the guy is desperate to get rid of it as it's been there for a few weeks already so he's willing to sell it to me for £40 which is a real bargain. If I did buy it I'd like to have it recovered but wouldn't even know very very roughly what it would cost. There are two or three companies I can and will contact but they won't be able to quote without seeing the chair and I stupidly didn't take any photo's to show them. It's reclining chair with the seat and back cushions attached to the chair and I suspect was used by an elderly person or came from a retirement home as it does look quite a bit like these: http://www.dlf-data.org.uk/product.php? ... oupid=1098.

Has anyone had anything recovered recently and if yes would you be willing to say how much you paid? As said, no point buying a chair for £40 if it's going to cost £200 or £300 to recover it......

I don't have any advice to give Ria, sorry...but what happened with the sofa delivery? Did you get any answers?

local upholsters are usually quick to give an estimate
as they need the work
and it would be nice to choice your fabric
no idea of a price sorry
have you looked on e bay
i brought my sofa from there
it was a couple moved in together had to much stuff
it was from next £90.00 and he only lived 10 mile away

Thanks Saundra and Jo - mom and I took a dive to Next today and the chair I was thinking of is PERFECT!!!!! exactly what I wanted so I've ordered it

Jo; re the sofa - the Monday I was going to call was so busy I didn't get a chance to so but DFS have loaned me a 2 seater leather sofa in the meantime and have dropped the delivery charge so I'm just leaving things be. Whilst I'd have loved to have MY sofa, we had a perfectly good one to use in the meantime; delivered by 8.30am on the Monday morning (Christmas Eve); so I don't think I can cause much more of a fuss.

Well that's good that there was no faffing around waiting for the loaner to be delivered!

Glad you found the perfect chair too - Next do have some gorgeous furniture
