It’s tough being a child. You’re too little for the grown up chairs but at the same time, you’re too big to go back in your highchair or sit on mummy or daddy.

Christmas is just around the corner – 7 weeks to be precise. I expect you will be preoccupied worrying about Christmas presents but now is the time to consider your Christmas dinner seating arrangements. If you are having all the family over for Christmas this year, from little cousin Michael to great aunt Ethel, then you need to contemplate where they are all going to sit. Christmas dinner is rarely a short affair with plenty of eating, drinking and merriment. Hosts and hostesses want their guests to be comfortable and it is impossible to be comfortable on a kitchen stool that is the wrong height for the table. To prevent the possibility of family members registering complaints with the management i.e. causing arguments because they’re unhappy with getting the rubbish chair, think ahead and buy extra chairs for your dining room table while you still can. We have thousands of chairs in stock ready for the Christmas rush and we have knocked over £75 off a set of 8 faux leather dining chairs. You don’t have to buy them in sets, you can get the same chairs singularly or in pairs too

It has been announced this week that furniture store Habitat may be put up for sale. The company’s chief executive Mark Saunders admitted that the retailer has begun a review which may lead to the sale of the company. Habitat has 38 stores across the UK and makes no secret of their intention to pursue opening more in the coming months. The company has quietly established their presence in mainland Europe with 24 Habitat store operating in France with more scattered across Germany and Spain. The company’s accounts have shown that Habitat has made significant losses in the UK and advisors Lazard & Co have been drafted in to assess whether the time has come for the owners to sell Habitat. Founded in the 1960’s, Habitat has been renowned for introducing high fashion to the high street. The epitome of up-market yet accessible home furniture and home accessories, Habitat has become another victim of the recession. Habitat has suffered because householders have flocked to cheaper stores such as Ikea in an attempt to escape the financial squeeze. Ironically, both Ikea and Habitat are owned by the family of the

I read this delightful article over at www.sfgate.com and thought I'd share it with you all. It's a very interesting and heartwarming piece which many people will agree with and many won't. "Whenever I walk into my living room, it's apparent to me that furniture must have been invented for animals. I imagine that, long ago, those first proto-dogs who entered our caves to suck the marrow from bones they helped us bring from forest to fire pit, once sated, climbed onto the boulders we arranged for seating, looked down, and then howled in complaint. I'm quite sure they gently removed those furry loincloths from sleeping cave-people and set them in piles in the coziest cave corners.Thus, I imagine, it was a wolf-dog's need for comfort combined with an early hominid's opposable thumbs that gave rise, eventually, to the invention of the couch.Give a dog a couch, an overstuffed recliner,

Vacuum packed mattresses are something that almost all mattress manufacturers are beginning to stock and produce, assuming they haven’t fully embraced it yet, which many have. So what is so new and unique about them and what makes them so different?Well what’s so new and unique about vacuum packed mattresses? Well if the name doesn’t give it away then let’s clarify; it is simply a memory foam mattress that is rolled up and then vacuum sealed to make it much smaller and easier to transport (most will fit into the back of a small car though larger widths such as king sizes may have some issues). It can also make moving it up stairs easier before it is used. In a nutshell that’s it.So what makes them different? Well to be honest nothing!A vacuum packed mattress is pretty much the same as any other memory foam mattress; they are just as comfortable, great quality and provide a great night’s sleep. The only difference is how they arrive, however once you remove them from the packaging it

A few weeks ago we introduced the Reflections range of mirrored bedroom furniture and it has gone down amazingly with our customers.When you introduce something so radical and different you have to be a little apprehensive but our faith in how much people would love this radical bedroom furniture range with its designer styling and unique looks has paid off.The Reflections range was a complete bedroom furniture collection with wardrobes, drawer chests, bedside cabinets, dressing tables and more all available to buy at our online store. However we have to admit that we were disappointed we couldn’t offer our customers a matching bed for this collection.Usually when a bedroom collection doesn’t offer a matching bed as part of it, it is because many other bed types will compliment it just as well. For example many wooden furniture collections have metal or chrome handles thus chrome or metal bed frames fit in nicely, and darker wood finishes on furniture tend to compliment leather beds very nicely.![]()

 Getting a great night’s sleep comes down to what you are sleeping on, and to be fair a new bedstead is only half the battle, the other half is what mattress to choose.Now plenty of beds get a mattress bundle with it these days, but unless you are paying a premium it’s probably going to be a very standard sprung mattress. Why? Well simply because it is the cheapest type available and if you feel you are getting a mattress and a bed for a cheap price, you feel you are getting a bargain. The problem is a good bedstead with a poor mattress isn’t bargain at all; it’s just a recipe for sleepless nights and back ache.The typical cheap sprung mattress (or open sprung mattress) is easy to spot. It looks cheap, feels very light and feels hollow and you can feel and hear the springs creaking as you lay on it, not to the extent the springs are

Furniture Store 247 have been enjoying success with the Gleneagle bedroom furniture ranges for a while now, with positive feedback from customers regarding the style, value and quality of the Gleneagle furniture ranges they have purchased from us. It’s something we are proud of and so whenever there is a new collection from Gleneagle we get quite excited about it like to make sure our customers know what to expect from the latest offerings.So what are the latest offerings from Gleneagle? Well the answer is the Corrib range.The Corrib bedroom furniture collection is available in two different finishes; light oak and beech. Both offer the same styling and design but as always Gleneagle like to give you choice so if you want a lighter wood, go for the light oak, and if you want darker, go for beech. The styling of the Corrib range is simple yet effective; with simple lines accented with an embossed pattern design on the fascia of the bedroom furniture items that comprise this collection. This

Source: The Argus (http://www.theargus.co.uk)A shop owner denied he is racist after he put up a sign banning foreign students.But he denied his stance is racist - and says he also has the backing of town chiefs.Mr Moffet said he was driven to take action after groups of students used his showroom to eat takeaway food.He claimed his patience snapped on the third time he found students lounging on his furniture tucking into their McDonald’s dinner.Mr Moffett said: “We have a small downstairs showroom selling general furniture.“I came down to see four students on a three piece suite, four lying on one of the beds and another two sitting on the bedroom furniture.“First of all the smell was terrible and fabric really holds in smells.“Secondly one of them had spilled drink on one of my coffee tables and thirdly we found gherkins all over the floor when they left.“They obviously didn't like the gherkins.”Mr

Leather furniture is popular for a reason, well many reasons actually. It is hard wearing, compared to fabric furniture, it is easier to clean and maintain, it’s comfortable and let’s face it leather looks great (well not always but as a rule of thumb it does, there are some truly gaudy leather furniture items out there, but each to their own).So with so many bonuses what are the down sides? Well it can be comfortable, but it can be very cold when first sat on and in hot weather unpleasant (this depends on the leather normally). It can be noisy and creaky if it is tighter pulled and stitched leather (more common in older more traditional sofas and chairs). It is generally very expensive and there is always the fact it simply is ‘leather’ and we all know what leather is made from, so there is the ethical issue as well.So what to do, well we aren’t going to judge someone for buy leather or not, that is a personal choice and nothing to do with us, we are just pointing out a there are alternatives. We sell leather furniture,

Summer is still here; well kind of! The unpredictable rain seems to be putting a literal damper on that. But now and then we still get the odd day we can fire up the barbecue and get friends round in the garden for some drinks and food. But with the year past the half way mark (seems to have flown by) and with that the colder weather and darker nights just a month or so away it will soon be time to put away the garden furniture and think about taking any get-togethers indoors.So we thought it might be time to look at what Furniture Store 247 can offer those looking for a new dining set, or some dining furniture, for the more festive season, or party season, on its way and the parties, meals and family gatherings that are fairly inevitable.Now people will think, “Hang on its nearly 5 months until Christmas” but a few things to remember; those months will fly past, you don’t want to be buying new furniture as your buying gifts and presents, the festive season tends to begin

Well ok maybe it’s cool and maybe it’s not, but there is no doubting it is popular. How do we know this? Well quite simply due to the demand we are seeing in our orders for items from the Trafalgar rustic oak collection.Over the past few months our rustic oak furniture range from Trafalgar has literally flown of the shelves (well out of the warehouse, it would break the shelves!) with orders ranging from one or 2 pieces of furniture from the collection such as console tables, display cabinets and bookcases, to full blown sets, mostly bedroom furniture sets or dining furniture sets.However we have noted that it seems to be not just the excellent build and quality of our rustic oak furniture that compels our customers, nor is it the stylish yet traditional design, but it is those things combined with the sheer range and the “mix and match” factor it gives. For example the rustic oak collection has 2 different desk/dressers, which can

You may remember our article on the hi-gloss range of bedroom furniture from Gleneagle. It talked about the Carlton and Clarion bedroom ranges. Both of these were similar designed sets yet had a differing hi-gloss finish (white and black respectively) but had the same walnut wood finish otherwise. Well since then these have become huge sellers for us at Furniture Store 247, and along with a high demand for these, customers have asked if we plan on adding more variations of the hi-gloss style.Our response was “of course we are!” and we have.Our first hi-gloss range we are going to mention is the Shelbourne range. This gorgeous hi-gloss bedroom furniture collection keeps the same styling as the Clarion and Carlton ranges, meaning it keeps the same stylish retro look but take a different slant on it. The different slant in question here is the fact the hi-gloss is in a gentle cream colour and the wood finish is lighter as this time it is in oak. This means it provides a more spacious an lighter

Just a quick reminder to all our customers that the furniture supplied by us here at Furniture Store 247 to Channel 4 for The Home Show will be featured on tonight’s (Thursday 4th June) episode based at Biggin Hill.We are pretty excited to see how things will turn out, especially as this show has been a huge success and the projects we’ve seen so far on previous episodes have been amazing.As big fans Furniture Store 247 we happy to donate some of our furniture to the show, and delighted they chose to use our York occasional chair in their design plans. It may seem like a small thing, only one piece of living room furniture, and sure we’d have loved them to use some of our stylish bedroom furniture or dining furniture, but we aren’t the designers, they are. We’re just stoked they used us and hope it shows to the public how good our furniture is.The Home Show can be seen on Channel 4 at 8pm on Thursdays – don’t miss it!
