Customer Testimonials
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Beautifully crafted, sturdy, and comfortable. Our congregation loves them.” – David Cameron
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great furniture, good value, good service
We needed 140 wooden padded chairs for our church. After looking at several companies Winscombe were chosen on the basis of price and quality. They were always quick to respond to questions and emails, gave us a useful discount for early payment, produced the chairs ahead of the original time estimate, but were happy to work with us on delivery date when our building scheme was running late. The chairs arrived well packaged and undamaged and we are very pleased with the build quality and comfort. On the basis of our experience we have subsequently gone back to Winscombe for other items (pew cushions). Excellent service! – Peter Hayhurst (St. Catherines, Port Erin)

David Cameron (Uphall South Church) –
Ordered 150 chairs at fairly short notice but Paul and his team at the factory bent over backwards to meet the deadline. Very happy with the product and the service from both Paul and the factory team and would not hesitate to recommend them and use them again in the future.
