I am so thrilled with my lovely bench, now sitting in the woods by the pond. It is lovely to deal with a company who take care in the old fashioned way, ie. talking on the phone and keeping the customer updated with the order. Certainly one to recommend.

"Such a lovely company to do business with. Communication is excellent. I am so happy with my seat, bought in memory of my dear husband, who passed away earlier this year.He loved our garden.
It’s a seat to hug me!"

"

These benches are wonderful, so lovely, a comfortable seat, a very supportive back rest and ample room on the arm rest for a plate and glass of wine or a coffee. We love them…it is the first thing in our brand new garden. Thank you so much.""

"We are so pleased that we decided to invest in high quality workmanship and personal service that Sitting Spiritually provide.
Having researched swing seats from a variety of companies I decided to contact Sitting Spiritually for more information. The excellent, personal service started from this very first enquiry to the delivery of a superbly constructed pergola and very comfortable seat.
We anticipate many hours of relaxation and pleasure in the garden."

"It was more expensive than any other swing I looked at but it has been built to a much higher specification, matching the oak pergolas we recently purchased. It’s nice to know that you can still purchase British made high quality outdoor furniture made by specialist companies like Sitting Spiritually"

"This is the way business should be conducted! An amazing experience from start to finish, I can't praise them highly enough. The team arrived dead on time, set up the seat to my height and were absolutely charming. Followed up with a phone call from Martin the following day to check we are happy."

David Hellewell

"I would definitely recommend! Our bench (swing seat) compliments our garden, is comfortable, is bouncy and is a refuge away from town, working from home and the day to day stresses.
Somewhere to cloud gaze, watch bat silhouettes flit over head, cogitate that first or last mouthful of your favourite tipple or just float, time of day doesn't matter."

"Our new swing seat is perfect. After sitting on similar seats for many years at RHS Harlow Carr and Wisley we are so pleased to have our own in the back garden. It’s beautifully made and great quality. We were lucky to meet Alex who actually made the seat and erected it in our garden."
