An Excellent experience from order to installation!

I had long hankered after one of the Sitting Spiritually swings seats as a replacement for our metal one but unfortunately they were beyond my price point. I was delighted therefore when the opportunity arose to purchase one of their fully refurbished seats as a surprise for my wife’s birthday. I purchased the seat and a new cushion along with 2 new scatter cushions, and a cover. SS kindly agreed to hold the seat for me and to deliver and install it whilst I was away in order that it here on our return. I dealt throughout with Nick Hunter at SS who was brilliant. Non of my requests fazed him. The delivery and installation were handled by their dedicated transport partners - Saturn - who also did a brilliant job. The whole experience was customer experience at its very best. Well done.

Swing seat refurb

We bought our lovely swing seat over a decade ago and decided to take up the offer of a refurb so it would last longer. Easy collection and redelivery a few weeks later. Amazing transformation with several slats renewed. Really pleased. Sadly can’t post photos to show the transformation.

Total Transformation- good as new

Having been subjected to 10 years of wind and sea air and salt, when we sought advice about a repair Sitting Spiritually suggested refurbishment. They lifted the bench from Kent and returned it to Lyme Regis where it was totally transformed. Utterly amazed when it was returned and every step went like clockwork.

An excellent company

An excellent company in terms of product and service.
We were delighted with our garden swing chair when purchased 2 years ago.
This autumn we used Sitting Spiritually refurbish service and has not only taken it back to its new condition, but even enhanced.
They are also a very friendly and helpful team who I highly recommend.

Excellent company with a first class product

We are extremely pleased with our new swinging bench. The service we received throughout the made to order process was exceptional. We visited Martin’s garden and he was able to show us the full range of products and the various options available to suit our needs. We wanted inscriptions on both the frame and the bench and we were guided on the choice of font and positioning. The delivery and assembly service was first class and we are delighted with the final product. I am sure it will bring us many years of joy as the craftsmanship and material are so good.
A big thank you to all the team at Sitting Spiritually. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.

Great swinging seat and service

Purchased a swinging seat from Sitting Spiritually. Their customer service is excellent, including the regular updates on the build of the seat and the delivery and installation of the swinging seat in our garden. The quality of the swinging seat is excellent.

Sitting pretty …

We were aware of Sitting Spiritually for some time but when our beloved swing seat of over twenty years was becoming beyond repair we decided to arrange a visit to the their beautiful show garden.
We were not disappointed. What a lovely experience and choice.
We were able to find a swing seat which really suited us and we are delighted with it.
From our afternoon visit to delivery the company has been friendly and professional with great communication throughout. The seat is a stunningly crafted piece of furniture and we hope to enjoy it for a long time.
So thank you to all the team at Sitting Spiritually.

Bespoke Swing Seat

We have recently taken delivery of two swing seats. One was a bespoke design for our ASD pupils. Sitting spiritually added bespoke elements to their standard design as per our specification. They were such a great company to work with. This is in fact the 4th swing seat that we have ordered over the years. We are a special school in the South West & part of Brunel Academies Trust.

Sitting Spectacularly!

When we bought our new home, it came with a swing seat. But it was tired and life-expired; falling apart and hanging on rather suspect looking ropes. We loved the swing seat and it’s location; we needed a new one. Trawling the alternative, Sitting Spiritually stood out from the crowd. Superbly crafted hand built garden furniture, made to last from oak suspended on stainless steel chains. The suspension springs add that little bit more comfort. The service is impeccable, reliable and personal. The delivery and installation tailored to our exacting needs. Good quality and top customer experience. Value for money, absolutely yes! I wholeheartedly recommend Sitting Spiritually.

Ordering the swing seat for my…

Ordering the swing seat for my daughters birthday was straight forward and simple I would definitely use Sitting Spiritually again . The delivery and construction of the seat happened on the day we were given and it looks wonderful. I am looking forward to visiting the garden and trying out the seat.

Stunning Swing Seat - delighted

From my initial contact with Martin through to receiving my beautiful swing seat, everyone at Sitting Spiritually was friendly, attentive and communication was excellent. I had a few questions and queries and we established the best deal for the design of seat suitable for us in our space. I am absolutely thrilled with my swing seat; thank you also to Siobhan, the fabrics lady from Sunbrella and Saturn Removals. All involved are just superb. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Seasons Bench

Our experience ordering our delightful bench with Sitting Spiritually was a lovely experience from start to finish. I cannot praise the staff highly enough. At every step we were kept up to date by email. We are in receipt of a very detailed, comprehensive care plan.Our bench was delivered from Lyme Regis to Kent on 19th June 2024.
We were invited by Martin to view the benches in his private garden. This was a delightful experience.
I am so pleased with my bench which I purchased in memory of my late mother. It is worth every penny.
Thank you Martin and the team.
