There’s a reason why we need your dining table furniture order in by September

With our furniture being bespoke and handmade, the creating process takes slightly longer than if you buy from the high street. There are many processes which our tables go through before being delivered to your door, and we want to make sure you avoid any disappointment and have your dining table with you by the festive period. Christmas is only around the corner so why not get in touch and make sure you have the perfect family dining table to celebrate around after a not so normal Christmas last year!

Trying to find matching chairs to existing dining sets you have can be very difficult, but at Semper Hopkins Upholstery and Interiors, we are here to solve your dining chair worries.

We have been going there for family celebratory meals for years including our engagement and pre-wedding night, so as you can imagine, it holds lots of special memories. So we couldn't be more proud to see some of our furniture taking pride of place in their bar eating area.
