My daughter had a footstool that had deteriorated badly. I took it to an upholsterer to get it recovered in faux leather, quote £160.00! Found Footstools direct and was really pleased with the quality, speed of delivery and price. Quality product, reasonably priced,

We ordered and paid for 2 footstools of idential design, and was told to expect delivery in a week or less. One has arrived, but more than 2 weeks later there is no news of the second, despite my chasing. What is happening?
