A SUPERIOR ALTERNATIVE TO MASS-PRODUCTION
Posted by Excelle Magazine on 14/07/2009
It's easy to assume that once a piece of furniture is broken, that's it; but 99% of all furniture can be repaired.
We have become a disposable nation; rather than the 'make do and mend' generations that have come before, today, barely used pieces of furniture are exchanged for cheap replacements. Yet these 'cheap' alternatives are rarely good value in the long-run as they often last little longer than their predecessors.
Sustainable Living
Yet with the economic slump the country is currently experiencing and more and more emphasis being placed on sustainable living, the option of buying new goods is becoming less appealing. However, despite these factors, re-upholstery may not be high on your list of priorities. Brian Jones, founder of Brian Jones Upholstery, offers you a new perspective.
"It's easy to assume that once a piece of furniture is broken, that's it, but 99% if all furniture is repairable and our free quotations ensure that whatever the prognosis, you won't be out of pocket," says Brian.
Brian started upholstering as an apprentice back in 1986 and has never looked back. Since then, Brian has worked in both furniture manufacture and repairs for local businesses constantly gaining experience which he put to good use in 2000 as he formed his own company.
Craftsman Ethics
Brian Jones Upholstery offers re-upholstery of both modern and traditional furniture, from small dining chairs and office chairs to three piece suites and hotel refurbishment. With Brian's experience in the industry, all the advice you receive will be given by time-served craftsmen, cutting out the often pushy commission-based salesmen and with quality assured, there is no need for aggressive sales tactics.
At Brian Jones Upholstery, you are guaranteed friendly service and a team that offers you home visits, free quotations (in which all frame and spring repairs are included) and your furniture is picked up and delivered at your convenience. If you choose to visit the workshop, you are welcome to view all of the furniture in development to help you gain a real feel for the process.
Brian Jones supplies an extensive fabric selection including designer ranges and leathers so, whatever your budget, you'll find the material for you. Moreover, customers can provide their own fabrics if they wish.
'Many people think re-upholstering is the expensive option yet it is often cheaper than buying new furniture and more importantly, we use better quality materials, ensuring a finer finish, and our attention to detail is undeniably superior to mass produced new upholstery. Our customers can expect a much longer life for their furniture.'
