Office Sofas & Soft Seating

Reception, breakout, the informal meeting that does not need a boardroom, and the quiet corner people use for a phone call. It is also the furniture visitors judge you by, because it is usually the first thing they sit on.

Because an office sofa is sat on by strangers all day, and contract foam, frames and fabric are built for that. A domestic sofa in a busy reception looks tired within a year. The fabrics here are rated for contract use rather than for a living room.

Upholstered furniture in a workplace has to meet the relevant fire safety standards, and contract seating is specified with that in mind. If your building or insurer has a particular requirement, tell us before you order and we will confirm the specification for the model you are looking at rather than guess.

Measure the wall, and then measure the way in. Widths here run from 45cm to 227cm, and the piece that fits the wall perfectly is often the one that will not go up the stairwell. Doorways, lifts and turns matter more for soft seating than for anything else we sell.

Around 50 upholstery colourways across the category. Most of it is made to order in the fabric you pick, which is why the wait is 10 to 15 working days and why it cannot be returned once it is under way.

Standard delivery is free on everything, and most of it lands inside a week. Express delivery is offered on much of the range, priced per item on the product page, and gets an order to you within two working days if you place it before 5pm. Eight of the 22 products here are made to order rather than stocked, and those take 10 to 15 working days. The product page says which, and shows the date it will arrive by before you pay.

Yes, on everything here. The crew deliver it, build it, put it where you want it and take the packaging away. It starts at £17.95 an item and the exact price is on each product page. Installs usually happen within about 10 working days, and the team agree the day with you rather than simply turning up.

Most of it arrives flat-packed, with the instructions and fittings in the box. If you would rather not build it, pre-assembled delivery and installation are offered on much of the range and priced per item on the product page.

Each product carries the manufacturer's warranty and the period is stated on that product's page, often broken down by part: the structure for one length of time, the mechanism and the fabric for another. If something fails inside the warranty, report it from your order page and we deal with the manufacturer for you.

Thirteen of the 22 products in this category have a 3D model on the page rather than only photographs. The viewer spins the actual model, and changing a colour or a size on the page changes the model with it, which is worth doing before committing a whole room to a finish.

On stocked items, yes: tell us within 14 days of receiving them and raise it from your order page, with the goods unused and back in their packaging. Eight of the 22 products here are made to order, though, and those cannot be cancelled once acknowledged or returned because you have changed your mind. Each product page says which it is before you buy.

Yes. For twenty items or more, or anything with a complication like a mezzanine or a lift that argues back, we plan the job and give you one quote covering the goods, delivery and installation. Ring 0208 138 0512 or email [email protected] with a rough list or a floor plan.
