Has anyone any experience of Maker and Son?

They look fantastic, but they're also ferociously expensive!

Get what you pay for?

Quite! But then my last sitting room furniture lasted over 20 years (and is still going strong), so be good to get it right even if it is expensive.

Scatter cushions £125 each?

OP,

If you want superb quality UK made furniture then look at Delcor.

Not cheap but no where near the ridiculous price of that doube barrel named firm you posted up.

We've had 3 Delcor sofas for over 30 years now - they are built in Northumberland (if that matters) with solid beech frames and they are as good as they day they were bought (been recovered at least 4 times).

PS: Delcor provide a 50 year frame guarantee, Makers give 30.

I know of them. They started a few years back. I know one of the companies that make some of their sofas.

The quality will be fantastic but like all things it seems .... the middleman makes most the profit not the maker of the product.
