What our clients say
Taken word for word from our Google reviews.
Chris at Forest provided us with the perfect combination of furniture for our new hospice cafe. A design brief was sent through and matched- the look, feel and combinations were just right -responses and deliveries were timely, professional and Chris was a pleasure to deal with, thank you!
… They understood the need to take our Members at the Golf Club with us as we embarked on what would be quite a radical transformation of the clubhouse. They were generous with their time and fabric swatches whilst we made our decisions on colourways and styles, helped with CAD layouts to confirm seating and capacity, and most importantly kept us informed of progress during the manufacturing phase. …
After being badly let down by another supplier, Chris and the team at Forest jumped in and saved the day ! From first contact to delivery this was a first class experience, very attentive and professional throughout. Not only a great product at a great price but actually delivered 2 weeks early ! Without question we'll be using them for the rest of the project. I can't thank you enough.
