Testimonials
The National Gallery
“The National Gallery has used Berkshire Office Furniture for a number of years for both new furniture and for restoration/preservation work to existing antique furniture. I have found them to always be very helpful, and are able to source furniture based on our specifications. They are also able to offer useful best practice advice on antique furniture care, especially with some of our unique pieces. I have been very happy with their service, and their supportive attitude.”

“Berkshire Furniture Services recently carried out a seating refurbishment and service of one of our older lecture theatres. From the first meeting, Jamie inspired me with confidence that the work could be completed over the busy summer period, even with a short lead time to commencement of the job.
The Berkshire Furniture team worked closely with the carpet contractors, in-house maintenance and AV teams and the library staff at Reading.
The strip out and re-fit was a significant and complicated task that was done swiftly and during normal working hours with little disruption to the normal business day here.
The results are fantastic, the refurb has breathed new life into an old and tired space and will give the room another long lease of life! The team at Berkshire Furniture Services are professional, realistic, methodical, energetic, flexible and very hardworking.
I look forward to working with you all again very soon!”

“We are the second largest port operation in the UK and have used Berkshire Office Furniture for the best part of sixteen years in everything from new projects costing several thousand pounds down to a chair castor. They have been on site to carry out repairs to reduce our down time as well as collecting furniture items for restoration at their factory. The service and quality are of the highest standard and no job is too small. I have no hesitation in recommending this company as I will still be using them for years to come. My philosophy is why change when you have a good reliable company working with you to find the right products to use.”

“For over 10 years I’ve been working with Berkshire Office Furniture. The team have looked after our many furniture needs at the Coppid Beech Hotel and we have been extremely pleased with the service and quality of products. The team are friendly, approachable and come up with excellent solutions for our requirements. The projects they have completed for us include the re-polishing of all our reception coffee tables, the refurbishment and re-upholstery of our tub chairs and the re-making of our cushion covers in three gorgeous fabrics. All of this was done to a high standard. They are currently undertaking the refurbishment of 120 of our restaurant dining chairs and the stripping and re-polishing of our hotel headboards.”

“We have been looked after by Jo and Jamie for over eight years now and each year we learn more about what they can do to help us with our challenging and changing environments. We actively seek change for our students and Berkshire Office Furniture consistently meet our expectations of providing great service and cost-effective solutions.”

“We frequently order the Indestructible Student Chair and would buy more if we could, but due to limitations on our storage we’re only able to order a handful at a time. Luckily, Jamie kindly offered to store any large orders and deliver them to us as and when we need them! A great solution for us, and shows how they go above and beyond for the customer. We much prefer ordering from smaller, family-run companies and the service we receive from BOF demonstrates why.”

“I have worked with Berkshire Office Furniture for over 20 years now. They have refurbished 100`s of bedroom chairs in this period.
This worked out extremely cost effective and good for the environment by reducing our contribution to landfill. Berkshire Office Furniture are always flexible and hassle free, working to our schedules and deadlines.
They have also refurbished accommodation furniture, sofas and armchairs for us and recently supplied us with some bespoke student proof sofas for one of our common rooms.”

“I would like to thank you and your team for the fabulous window seating installation in our new dance studio. From approaching you with an idea that your team took onboard as a concept, through to delivering the finished fully installed product, JUST AMAZING.
Now and in the past, your team under your guidance have provided me with the confidence to know you will always deliver on your promises with realistic timescales and really competitive pricing.
For me, Berkshire Office Furniture are the number one local family business that provides the personal touch and go the extra mile for its customers.”

“We called Jamie in from BFS to help maximise the room we had to work with.
He visited for an initial consultation to gather information regarding how the teams work together.
He then came back promptly with several bespoke design options for us to choose from. The tailored desks fitted our needs and were within the budget.
Delivery and installation was smooth and we would happily recommend Jamie and Berkshire Furniture Services for all aspects for office furniture.”

“I am writing to express my sincere thanks for the part that you and your team at Berkshire Office Furniture have played in our relocation to our wonderful new premises. As part of a £20 million relocation project, it was essential that all of our contractors delivered their various services not only on time, but to the high standards we have requested throughout the project. Your work in conjunction with architects to come up with the right finish on our new meeting rooms tables was excellent, as was the clever re-use of our Eames table bases. But perhaps the most effective part of your contribution to the project was the refurbishment of our much loved set of 150 Charles Eames meeting room chairs. While there were many enquiries from people who thought and hoped we might replace them, clearly a set of chairs of this quality were merely in need of some “TLC” which your team have clearly done. It is now quite tricky to see which chairs have received a complete overhaul, to those which have simply required a light buffing, such is the consistency of the work carried out.”

“The Indestructible Student Chairs we use seem to be just that. The first ones we ordered are just as good as our newest ones; we have never had any problems with them. There is an excellent range of colours, they are fire retardant, the castors move effortlessly, and they are comfortable – I even use one at my desk.”
