Hi I would like to say if a company won't give you references from previous companies I would be very wary. We always give details of previous customers to new potential customers and we are a member of checkatrade.com where all our customers leave feedback on us which can be searched online. Hope this helps

We can get them made to size, in any fabric that you like, with foam wrapped in wadding for a firm cushion. Piped and with a gusset or plain, the choice is yours. Feel free to contact the shop 01225 862320 www.dibleandroy.co.uk

This has now become an unintentional late night mission! It's hard to find UK ones that are similar in terms of the chunky wood bottom. This is the closest I've got in terms of design, but YEP, US based.... http://www.verellen.biz/product/elly/ (click on 'square' option.) Maybe worth an email - Good luck!

For me personally if it’s a forever home I would need to love it. You obviously don’t need to love what it looks like now but have a vision of what you’d do with it and as colourhappy said consider location, aspect etc. Our first house was purely the best of what we could afford in the area for school. The only thing I missed when we moved was a blossom tree! Our second (current) house we absolutely love however it’s not without its flaws which we were probably blinkered to. We have been looking to move recently but even with an increased budget we can’t find anything that comes close to the actual house. I’m sure the absolutely perfect house doesn’t exist (or in budget) so just wondering if you’d made a list of what’s really important to you? I don’t know your age either but I guess priorities change as you get older. colourhappy we looked in your area online and let’s just say we’d need to downsize 😂
