"Having searched high and low for an oversized Victorian wingback chair, we commissioned the Original Chair Company to make one to our specification. Kate was incredibly patient in sourcing fabric samples for us to ensure that we got exactly what we wanted. The end result is superb - a beautifully made piece of furniture in a fabric which is perfect for our home. We couldn't be more delighted, both with the service we received and the end product. We would have no hesitation in recommending Kate and The Original Chair Company to anyone."

''We are really pleased with it - it's like you extracted my dream chair out of my head and delivered it to my door!''

Jonathan Lamb, East Sussex

"The choice was simple – do I throw away my two disgraceful old armchairs or do I take a risk, spend some money on them and find someone to re-upholster them? I decided to take that risk and how glad I am that I did!

The first chair was in a dreadful state – ancient, disintegrating leather leaking horse hair, and some very nasty prolapsed seat springs –totally “unsittable” on but still, I could not bring myself to part with it.

The second chair had long been relegated to a garden shed and badly needed to be salvaged. I searched online for an upholsterer and was delighted to find one in Scotland – The Original Chair Company!

The rest, as they say, is history – I now have two fabulous armchairs, which have retained their character but are gorgeously restored to their former glory and which take pride of place in my sitting room. I can whole-heartedly recommend The Original Chair Company – Kate Mackenzie is extremely helpful and informative when it comes to discussing work to be carried out and you will love her huge range of classy fabrics and the quality of the workmanship. So, my advice is - don't chuck out that old unloved chair - send it to The Original Chair Company and prepare yourself for a wonderful transformation"

Ms Gillian McKim, Isle of Lewis, Western Isles, Scotland.

"Kate - We are so pleased with the Victorian chesterfield sofa and armchair, which we look on as an addition to the family and will be with us for a long time to come. They are better than I ever expected and the quality of work was excellent, especially the perfect matching of pattern on the seams. We would be more than happy to use your company in the future and would not hesitate in recommending you"

Monica Long, Dunbartonshire

“I came across Kate and the Original Chair Company by chance. Since then, Kate has re-upholstered and recovered two Victorian armchairs and a Victorian sofa for me. They are fabulous and have been much admired by my friends and family. I would not hesitate to commission Kate again.”

Ms Rowan Staines, London

"I would not hesitate to recommend Kate and the Original Chair Company to anyone, not only because of the high quality craftsmanship but because of Kate's personal customer service."

Keith and Sue Taylor, Cornwall

"What a stunning pair of chairs Kate managed to find for us. She helped us no end with finding just the right fabric and now we have the real wow factor we wanted! Looking forward to seeing the wingback in the new designs."
