We have a custom dining table from them. Reclaimed oak top, and a big metal base that is wide at top and bottom, but narrow in the middle where your legs go when you're sliding along a bench.

Really nice quality thing. We've had our over 4 years now.

Something vintage like this - can't comment on wobble.

Extending pedestal refectory style table would be my search terms

Not the typical ask on here, but my 7 year old wants a soft chair, kind of bean baggy thing but maybe quite chair like too!!. I quickly looked online and places like wayfair, dunelm have them but I imagine they’d fall apart pretty quick.

Anyone bought anything like this that would last a while?

I imagine they’d fall apart pretty quick.

I think your 7yo will be the determining factor in it's survival - regardless of whether you get one from conran or dunelm. Also if its for a 7yo how much longevity does it have anyway?

Fwiw I'm a big fan of dunelm. I'd always buy from a physical shop so you can check the quality and fabric irl as it is hit and miss. We had a sort of grey herringbone bean bag type footstool that stood up fine. It got killed by puke, baby mess, and a misunderstanding of how to clean it. But structurally it survived up to an aggressive toddler and a baby.

Ideally you want one with the beans in a liner bag for cleaning. Ultimately you'll always need to top up the beans in the future as they compress.

But if you are worries this is exactly the sort of thing John Lewis always do well.

I'd also keep an eye on ebay and FBM. Not for a 7yo, but we got a really cool miniature arm chair. So random stuff pops up.

Mini Togo! I almost bought one on eBay thinking it was a bargain, until I realised it was for midgets.

Haha, I just had a look at the sizes! Are they for golf club chihuahuas?

Yeah they do look tiny. This is quite fun

great minds etc. have just done a design review with the 7yo of this exact chair (in a different colour) and we have initial sign off. just need ceo approval now.

We got one of those big Bertha things for our toddler. She likes it and pretty comfy tbh

Need bed frame recommendations … ideally a pale solid wood. King size. Reasonably minimal. Headboard of some kind. Could stretch to max £700 on the frame - Mattress advice also welcome - we usually just go John Lewis - share your sleepy rig pls

not sure if biggest size here is king size… ? https://www.zarahome.com/gb/wooden-bed-frame-l41598077?srch=true&colorId=052
