Discover Comfort, From The Comfort Of Your Own Home...
Our Bum Test is a unique offering, designed to let you try our luxurious chairs in the comfort of your home. We bring our expertly crafted seating directly to you, so you can see how it complements your space. We believe that selecting the right chair is a personal decision best made in your own space, allowing you to find the perfect fit without any pressure.
The bum test appointment is a fabulous part of your design journey; after sharing your vision with our design team, sampling luxury fabrics, viewing leg finishes, and considering extra touches - it is time to experience the comfort.
"The Chair people provide a brilliant service. We loved the idea of the “bum test” to try out several chairs. The chairs are beautifully made. The service is very friendly and very professional. Would definitely recommend to friends or family"
Helen Manley, Espom
"The Bum test was a winner. These chairs are expensive so to know they will fit and you have all the choices of fabrics was amazing"
Caroline Higgins, Bath
"A service that travels the country to allow you to test the comfort of a chair before you order then gives you personalised advice by trawling through potential fabric samples and ordering no end of swatches to help you choose. When they arrived, the chairs were beautiful. Wonderful, helpful staff throughout the process"
Paula Beattie, Leamington Spa
How Does It Work?
Start Your Design Journey: Begin with a complimentary design advice appointment, where we'll guide you through the perfect choices for your space. From there, we'll include the Bum Test as part of the experience.
Try It Out: We'll deliver your chosen models to your door, allowing you to sit, feel, and decide at your own pace.
Make Your Decision: Love it? Brilliant! If not, there's absolutely no obligation to buy.
We understand busy schedules, so on the day of your Bum Test, there's no need to wait at home. Our driver will send a text an hour before arrival, giving you time to prepare. We cover mainland UK, typically booking appointments within two weeks. Mike, our friendly and experienced driver, coordinates visits based on your postcode, enabling us to offer this service free of charge.
Each Bum Test visit takes around 20 minutes – just enough time to get a feel for the fit, comfort, and style of each model in your own space.
Why Opt For The Bum Test?
Home Experience: We strongly believe that each chair should be viewed in the space it's intended for, eliminating the guesswork of a showroom.
No Obligation: Enjoy the freedom to try our chairs without any pressure to purchase.
Expert Guidance: Our Design Advisors are on hand to provide personalised recommendations tailored to your needs and preferences.
Proven Satisfaction: Our Bum Test is where the magic happens! Customers often tell us it's the moment they find their perfect chair and their vision starts to come to life.
