I have used this Company to recover a chair and piano stool. Both jobs were completed to an excellent standard and I can highly recommend Be Seated

I have no hesitation in recommending Be Seated. Peter has restored a favourite Vicotiran armchair and has exceeded my expectations of bringing a very battered and well-used piece of furniture back to life and made good for use for many years to come. Peter was generous with his time helping me choose an appropriate fabric and arranging for samples to be sent to me. Peter's care, expertise, workmanship and attention to detail are all exceptional. I will certainly use Be Seated for any future upholstery work.

Delighted with our Carlton sofa! Peter took the time to discuss fabric choice and incorporated style adjustments to suit our specification. I was also able to check the comfort and look of the sofa before finalising the upholstery. A beautiful bespoke piece of furniture which I am sure will look good and last for many years to come.

I?d totally recommend Be Seated. We were searching for a new sofa to replace our existing one but couldn?t find one we liked and didn?t want to buy one online without trying it. We went to Peter who has reupholstered it and it looks fabulous. Advice and choice of fabrics is excellent and craftsmanship is too. So happy with our new old sofa.

Peter expertly reupholstered an Edwardian chair and it can now remain a family favourite for many more years to come. I really trusted his judgement and advice and the final results were excellent. Very happy with my ?new? chair!

It was satisfying to have an old chair restored rather than replaced but doubly satisfying to see it done so expertly. We're thrilled by Peters work and now have somehing which will be an enduring pleasure. We were mired in indecision initially and Peter gave us time and advice which proved most helpful.Written on a phone whilst sitting in a comfy armchair.

Peter has just transformed a vintage Guy Rogers 3 piece suite which had been neglected for many years, and a similarly well worn Edwardian Chaise Longue. Peter's craftsmanship is just superb - the workmanship on the chaise longue, which was quite an intricate piece, is just exquisite.He did a fantastic job. Not only that, he responded to my initial query very promptly, took the time to discuss each piece in detail and advise on fabric, and the entire project took around 5 weeks from collection. Can't recommend him highly enough.

I cannot recommend Be seated highly enough. Peter has restored and reupholstered our Mid Century day bed into a stunning piece of furniture.His craftsmanship and design eye are second to none.

We asked Peter to make a seat for our bay window. It is so much better than I could have anticipated. Peter provided excellent advice on the design, he visited twice to ensure measurements were spot on, and the work is of extremely high quality. I cannot recommend highly enough.

I have used Be Seated several times. Most recently to reupholster and bring back to life a small nursing chair that had seen better days and belonged to my gran. Peter is a fantastic craftsman and takes the time to talk you through the options and fabrics that might work best. The results are always beautiful and I am delighted with my gran's chair which has been given a new lease of life with a fabulous velvet fabric in teal.

Great craftsmanship and taste. Peter renovated my auction buy, transforming a shabby but interesting chaise into a beautiful piece of furniture.

Be Seated have restored a very old, saggy, and much loved sofa so that it looks like new. Delighted with the results, and much appreciated the personal service, which was friendly, efficient, and prompt.

We heard about Be Seated following a trip to our hairdresser in Leith where we saw and sat on a very classy sofa.We inherited a Parker Knoll sofa and we wanted to bring it up to date and so we took it to Be Seated. We met Peter who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic in helping us to decide what to do with our sofa.Peters expertise and skill in reupholstering our sofa has made us extremely happy. It made us so happy we bought a Danish armchair from him! We have recommended Be Seated to all of our friends! We would recommend anyone in the market for something bespoke to sit on to check out Be Seated! Take a look at some of the before & after shots on the website.Highly recommended!!
