Were delighted with the job Asnew have done to transform a secondhand sofa we bought from BHF. The whole process took 150 days from initial enquiry to delivered product. Karen was patient and helpful when we visited the showroom to pick out a fabric. We were then given an accurate and realistic estimate of the lead time. They collected our sofa a few days early and returned it within 3 weeks. Were proud that we invested in these local craftspeople to refurbish an old sofa instead of buying something brand new. Were so excited to have it back. It brings us so much joy!

Asnew did a superb job of our sofa - it looks better than it did when we bought it new 7 years ago. They also finished the job ahead of time. Fantastic company.

We can't thank Laurence, Gary and the whole team at Asnew enough. We gave them the challenge of restoring and reupholstering a 1970's curved sofa in a blue and beige geometric design, also replacing all the cushions. There were originally 2 accompanying chairs, one of which had been lost. We requested the surviving chair to be reduced in size and a duplicate made from scratch. The chairs are in plain blue. The result is stunning, such care and skill has been taken by the Asnew team who clearly love the work they do. Communication has been great throughout the whole process. We have absolutely no
