Yes samples great quality and exactly what we might want. Sadly access is tight and we don’t think we would get one of the chesterfields in. Only negative is that you use serpentine springs which in our experience don’t last well.

Beware of leather colour fade!

I purchased a Manchester Vintage Leather Armchair & Queen Anne footstool from The Chesterfield Company after being delighted with the Vintage Cognac colour sample. Initially I was impressed with the comfort and quality of the armchair & footstool but 3 years on I have a very different view. The colour now has completely drained from the leather in all areas, leaving a bland tan colour that is devoid of the cracked two tone finish the leather once had. After contacting The Chesterfield Company I was pretty much told that the colour fade was my doing:

“Leather can react to its environment such as sunlight fading, drying in heat but also other things can affect it such as we've seen room sprays that land on the leather and strip the natural waxes and affect it or even the natural body oils that are secreted from the skin (particularly if a person is on certain medications) can react with leather and cause colour loss.”

The armchair and footstool are not exposed to direct sunlight and I do not use room sprays in my home. I have recently paid several hundred pounds to have a furniture specialist restore the leather and it was commented on that the colour fade should not have happened so soon (3 years??) after manufacture. Poor colour retention is often caused by substandard leather preparation to promote colour absorption, or a lack of a hard wearing top coat lacquer, which explains why there has been such a drastic change in colour after such a reasonably short time (there is a reason why only a 12 month warranty is provided on the leather). The Chesterfield Company - do not trust them, do not use them!

Reply from The Chesterfield Company

Hi Daniel, We’re sorry to hear about the issues you’ve encountered with the Manchester Vintage Leather Armchair and Queen Anne footstool. We understand that the colour fade you’ve experienced is disappointing, especially given your initial satisfaction with the Vintage Cognac colour sample.

It’s true that leather can age differently based on environmental factors. We do offer a range of leathers, from heavily treated, hard-wearing corrected grain leathers to more raw, distressed aniline leathers like those on your order. The latter is designed to showcase the natural character of the leather, which can result in a different ageing process compared to more finished options.

We understand that our previous response didn’t meet your expectations, and we regret that this has led to your dissatisfaction. We strive to provide accurate information about how our leathers age and the care required, but we also appreciate your feedback on this matter.

Please know that we take such concerns seriously and are committed to improving our service. If you have any further questions or require additional support, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Great service and product

The whole buying process was simple and straightforward. Although a little delay in production of my product - I was more than happy to wait as the finished furniture is perfect. The delivery team were great and kept me informed with time of arrival, both Robert and his colleague were very friendly, polite, respectful of my property and helpful in moving the furniture into the house. Well done everyone. Thank you.

-Little interest in the tradition of horsehair padding, which is the reason for buttoning. This is a problem.

Hi, We're sorry to hear you haven't received your samples yet we'll have a look into this for you. You are correct we don't use horsehair padding we use foam and full panels of leather which are folded to create the deep button effect.

Good solid construction sofas. Delivery was excellent.

However, we did have to wait a long time (much longer than originally informed) to get the furniture) and were required to pay the full amount before we could get it delivered.
