I needed a new chair, and found that the local branch of Staples had one I liked. When I asked about delivery I was told there would be a £25.00 charge!! This to deliver 10miles! When I expressed my disgust the assistant said "Well, we don't sell very many" ........... I said "I'm not surprised, and you haven't sold this one either!!".
So I googled ........ and found this chair for £35+VAT, £40.25 inc'. Delivery FREE.

I ordered it 2015hrs Saturday night, and it arrived this morning (Tuesday). Excellent service!
It comes flat-packed, but my wife and 10yr old grandaughter had it assembled in about 30 minutes!! (They are NOT for hire!). I supervised! ;)
It looks as good as it's picture, and feels comfortable.

I like the supervision bit, I do that too :thumb:

Wise move, Mo, 10 year-olds are so much better at flat packs. ;D

For a moment, I read that as "10 year-olds are so much better
as flat packs." What a great idea! Just pack them away when they become annoying! ;D
Three chairs for Mo...........hip hip ;D
I bought this chair last year and its still here..Mo :thumb:

A fortune to be made there somewhere, Simon?

That's comforting to know BPP! It certainly looks good value. :fingers:
But I posted because I was so impressed by the firm. Very rare to get such a range and good service for a single item these days.
Since then I have received a paper invoice, together with a till receipt, by SNAIL MAIL!! All for £40 .......... :thumb:
