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.

I am absolutely delighted with my footstool. The quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail are outstanding, and it is clear that great care has gone into its construction. Although there was a waiting period (bespoke item) it was more than worth it. The finished product exceeded my expectations and has become a beautiful addition to my home. The service throughout was excellent, and communication was always friendly and professional. It is refreshing to find a business that takes such pride in both its products and customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend them and wish the business every continued success for the future. Thank you for creating such a lovely piece.

Lots of selection and easy to order. There was a delay due to lack of tartan material, which is fine but I had to ask the question. This was answered promptly but would suggest that company could inform customer.
