We went in there once and got hounded by a salesman so badly that Mrs P lost her sense of humour and told him to stop following us, only for one of his colleagues to take over
We weren’t impressed by their stuff. We bought a solid French oak kitchen dining table with two extension leaves and six chairs from an independent place in Cardiff. When we moved to Kent, Pickford’s dropped the table and took a lump out of it. Fair play they organised a french polisher to come out and repair it; turns out the chap was also a master carpenter and he did a fantastic job. Anyhoo, he asked us how much we paid for it (£1,500 back in 2001) and he nearly fell over. He said he couldn’t buy the materials and build it for himself at that price.
