From arranging a viewing through ordering and finally delivery, everything was first class. The Monty sofa was delivered when it was planned with care and attention. The sofa is very well made, quality throughout. Many thanks especially to Warren and everyone working at S W James, fully recommended and will definitely be ordering a further piece of furniture

An excellent company. First class communication and a courtesy phone call after delivery . Delivery itself was great as well. The chaps had to negotiate a narrow doorway to get it in but all was managed with skill. The sofa is lovely . Very well made and comfortable . Saving the pennies for another one now.

We did a lot of research to fine a Chesterfield sofa. We traveled to the showroom and met Warren before buying a Huxley 3 seater and 1 seater plus footstool. The service we have received was excellent. Good communication throughout. We have had the furniture for a couple of weeks and have to say we could not be happier. Each product is made to the highest standard. Totally recommend the products and service provided.

I spent a lot of time trolling through the internet looking for a Chesterfield leather sofa manufacturer. I came across SW James and their website blew me away, Warren created a video explaining part of their history and their work ethos. Watching this I immediately made up my mind as to who I would go for…..SW James. I ordered 3 pieces from the Stirling range in antique tan leather, a 4 seat, 2 seat, and a chair. I also ordered a Dorothy Wing Back Chair in Red Wood Heritage Leather. Throughout the process I was sent updates on the progress, Warren was very easily contactable and answered any questions I had. On receiving our delivery, we were so impressed with the quality of the workmanship and detail of every piece that I have plans to order in the future. The Dorothy Wing Back Chair has pride of place next to the bookshelves in my office for when I want a comfortable read whilst relaxing. I cannot recommend SW James highly enough and if you are looking for a quality-built Chesterfield sofa, then look no further. One happy customer.

Great experience from start to finish with Warren. From learning all about their products and their ‘why’ at the showroom to placing an order and being updated through the build process - everything was spot on. The finished product (2x Huxlies) arrived last week and I couldn’t be happier with them. Would definitely recommend Warren and SW James to anyone looking for top-notch couches.

We just took deliver of two Monty Chesterfield sofas and I can truly say we are delighted with them. The first thing that is apparent is the pure quality of craftsmanship and materials. The sofas are made by time honoured traditional methods and it shows. The leather is top quality and clearly superior to anything you would encounter at a chain furniture store. Warren the managing director has shown dedication above and beyond what I consider good service. He took time to explain the different types of leathers and the vigorous standards involved in the manufacturing process. He is clearly passionate about his company and it is reflected in the finished product. The whole ordering process was smooth from start to finish with regular email updates and clear delivery communication. The sofas were even unwrapped and placed in the exact position we wanted. I would highly recommend S.W. James.

I had been searching for a really good quality leather wingback chair for a while but nothing met my expectations (having worked in the luxury car manufacturing sector), then I came across SW James – my search was over. From meeting Warren at the Bollington canal side shop (great coffee provided) to view products in the ‘real world’ to taking delivery (on time) our experience of SW James has been exemplary. [Agreed] regular updates kept us in the loop throughout the process, so much so that we felt part of the team. My particular ‘maybe quirky’ requests were received and dealt with professionally and with great consideration. The final product is absolutely fantastic and we are delighted with the results. But the experience doesn’t stop with delivery. We received a follow up call from Warren to ensure all was as expected and to expect a hide care kit through the post in the next couple of days. We were welcomed by Warren in to the SW James family as a lifetime customer. Without any doubt we shall be recommending and using SW James in the future when we require more excellent quality furnishings. A very grateful customer. Mick Baker

From the moment I met Warren and viewed the showroom in Bollington I knew the sofas were going to be something special. Customer service was first class from ordering through to delivery. We are so pleased with our purchase of two Bertie’s in the rustic leather. They are so warm in colour and so comfy to sit on, they will last a lifetime.

Personal, professional, friendly experience from my first enquiry. We ordered a 2 seater Birdie to match our existing 3 seater Birdie that we love. Regular updates from Warren all the way through the process from placing our order to it being delivered into our living room gave me confidence that I'd made the right choice in choosing S W James. The craftsmanship is evident. It is classic style with comfort. It will be a part of our home for life. I thoroughly recommend SWJames.

We received our 2 Monty sofas yesterday. What quality Warren and the Team at SW James deliver. I cannot tell you how good these sofas look, the build quality is fantastic. I came across SW James about 2 years ago, when I was looking for a Chesterfield sofa and couldn't believe how they looked and sounded on the website. Eventually I persuaded my wife to come with me for a look at the showroom in Bollington. (we can go and look but we are not buying she said). We ordered 2 sofas there and then when she saw them. What fantastic pieces of furniture they are and what a fantastic experience dealing with Warren (true gent). Well worth the wait and we are now part of the SW James family.

I am absolutely overjoyed with the pieces I purchased from SW James. The entire experience was a delight, from the website to leather samples to choosing items to ordering to delivery. Warren's care, expertise, and clear focus on craft and heritage shone through at every step along the way. My new Huxley 3-seater and snuggler look like they were made for my living room, and are exactly as I had wished. This wasn't just a transaction; this was getting to know a business. Highly, highly recommend.

We found S.W.James through a google search and were impressed by the products on the website and the promise of individual attention. We sent for some swatches and then decided to make the trip from Somerset up to the small showroom to view the sofas and do the important test, sit on them. We were warmly welcomed by Warren who spent time explaining the construction and helping us to choose the right sofa for us. We needed the help as we could have bought them all, they were so beautiful. We chose the Monty as it was a little higher being on castors. We were then shown the beautiful leather and chose the rustic. We decided to buy a footstool too which we hadn’t planned to do. Warren kept us informed during our every stage of the making of the sofa and stool. Our sofa arrived in about 14 weeks (Christmas during this time). We can only say how delighted we are with it. The leather is beautiful, the studding is gorgeous and the seats are squishy soft but supportive. It is a real classic, beautifully made, Chesterfield sofa and the real centrepiece to our lounge. Everybody comments on it and we love it. We had a small problem with one of the stool legs being cracked. I notified Warren and a new one was sent out immediately, no questions asked. I can only say, if you’re looking for a beautifully hand made chesterfield sofa from a small company, giving personal attention at every step of the way, then go to SW James, definitely. We are so impressed that we’ve now ordered a chair !! Thank you

We have just taken delivery of our 2 seater monty sofa, Very impressed with the whole process from start to finish and can highly recommend sw James . It seems a little funny that there is never a bad comment any where on social media regarding this company and I must admit that when I ordered on line and paid upfront I was a little worried but please let me assure you I have had nothing but perfect customer service from warren and we are so pleased with the end result and the fact that it was delivered 3 weeks early was the icing on the cake . Warren and team at sw James thank you very much

We spent a considerable amount of time looking at Chesterfields online and in various stores.Some were good and some were of questionable quality whilst others just didn't feel or look quite right. Once we visited the SW James website however, we thought their sofas were worth looking at in more detail. So, we arranged a viewing with co-founder Warren at their Bollington shop. Once we saw and subsequently sat on the sofas on display, we knew pretty much straight away that the Huxley in antique honey was exactly what we were looking for. Warren could not have been more helpful during the whole experience and gave us regular updates on where each stage of the manufacture was up to. The sofas were delivered today and look absolutely fantastic. I would not hesitate in recommending SW James to anybody who is looking for a high quality, superb looking Chesterfield.

Just bought a lovely Chesterfield from S W James and wanted to say what a beautiful piece of furniture it is. Even better than that is the customer care from Warren and his team, updates throughout the build, calls after delivery to ensure all is well and that we were 100% happy too. Fantastic, wish all companies were this level of quality and care.

From my first contact with SW James I have been blown away with the amazing customer service. I felt it was very personal and that my order was important. I was kept informed every step of the way and I really appreciated the post delivery call from Warren to ensure I was happy.

I just can't recommend this company enough! We had a really bad experience with a high street chain so I did a little research and found S W James. Warren & Jamie were super helpful from ordering to delivery. My two vintage green Archie sofas arrived in August and I couldn't be happier. Every visitor to my home has been in awe of the craftmanship involved. They are just beautiful and very comfortable. Thank you S W James
