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.

We purchased this stool as a gift for our daughter and she’s absolutely delighted with the quality of product, material and depth of colour. The order process was simple and the price was super-competitive. We did have a slight issue with delivery (through no fault of Footstools Direct) but can honestly say that from initial contact to resolution, the customer service received was commendable! Footstools Direct is certainly a company we will be using again and pleased to recommend.
