What is Black Friday?

Black Friday was originally started in the US and was regarded as the first day of the Christmas shopping season, on which retailers make many special offers. It is the Friday after the US holiday of thanksgiving. Black refers to stores moving from the 'red' to the 'black', back when accounting records were kept by hand and red ick indicated loss, and black profit.

It was in 2013 that Black Friday truly entered the British consciousness. Asda, owned by Walmart, had a black Friday sale in the UK and offered massive savings on a range of goods. The following year other big UK retailers jumped on the black Friday bandwagon, resulting in a sale induced frenzy across the country. And so, black Friday had officially made its way across the Atlantic perpetuated by the massive online stores most notably Amazon.

Fantastic service and quality at very competitive price. Following a very helpful chat about the leg options I ordered a stool that arrived in a few days. Well packed to protect the stool in transit and it was in perfect condition. The stool was very well made and leather was wonderful quality, I was delighted with the stool and highly recommend the company.

Ordered not before time as my legs dangled when I sat at my computer. Much more comfortable. Love the design and the material/colour. Just what I needed - and good quality too. Will probably order another one now!

Fabulous speedy service. Footstool arrived within 3 days. Perfect for what we wanted as present for mum. Sturdy and good quality. We were impressed! We sent for sample swatches beforehand which I would recommend . However though I asked for 1 day delivery they took 10 days to arrive which is the fault of Royal Mail, not the company ,but allow extra time if you're ordering on a deadline.

I am extremely happy with my small faux leather footstool. It’s fairly light and easy to move, has ample padding on the top and looks neat and tidy. The quality seems to be excellent and dispatch and delivery extremely quick.
