SOMETHING NEW - BEST OF BRITISH - MADE.COM





I have being seeing alot press on Made.com and after looking at their website and products, I think they are onto a winner!. So refreshing to see modern furinture, well crafted and made at an AFFORDABLE price!. I hope they continue to be able to source desirable ranges. Particularly love their Boundary collection. Also even though the name is very close to mine, it dosen't bother me. I have thought many times about selling modern furniture as well as vintage and am hoping to do so one day and also to be able to offer it at good prices.
