Furniture 123 Wins Best Online Retailer 2008

2008-09-25T10:25:00.005+01:00

PRESS RELEASE

Furniture 123 Ltd (http://www.furniture123.co.uk), the Leeds based online furniture retailer, is pleased to accept the prestigious Best Online Retailer 2008 prize from the Interiors Monthly Awards.

Interior magazine Interiors Monthly set up its awards with the aim of rewarding excellence within the industry. In the case of the Best Online Retailer award, votes are gathered from manufacturers and suppliers, who have the freedom to vote for any retailer they feel deserves the title, as opposed to a shortlist. Natalie Rawson, Furniture 123 Commercial Director comments, "The nature of the vote meant we were up against every other online retailer in the country (in the interiors sector), so to win this award is a great honour for us. It clearly shows that our website and product range are appealing, but also we have the trust and support of the industry as well as our customers."

Interiors Monthly says of the winning team, "Since its foundation in 1999 – a time when consumers were wary of making online purchases and using dial-up to connect to the Internet – Furniture 123 has established itself as the largest pure online furniture retailer. By removing the need to physically display its furniture, the retailer is able to offer more than 16,000 products – many with next day delivery. While online retailers have come and gone by trying to offer rockbottom prices, Furniture 123 has prospered by combining reliability, choice, service and prices that are lower than bricks and mortar stores, but not so low that it cannot offer the first three elements."

Notes to editors:
Furniture 123 Ltd is based in Leeds and is the UK's largest online only furniture retailer. Established in 1999, the company employs 13 people and has received various awards including The Furniture Awards: Business Excellence prize in 2005. It is also a supporter of the Sleep Council.

Covering the walls with scarlet emulsion might not be to everyone's taste but an easier and less extreme way to inject some warming colour into the home is with furniture and accessories in rich red tones. With autumn just around the corner, let Furniture 123 show you red in three gloriously different styles.

Cube Oval Dining Set with Leather Chairs
The Cube Oval Dining Set with Leather Chairs encompasses simple practicality with rugged good looks to provide furniture that is functional and good looking. This oval shaped table is made from solid mango wood with a deep walnut colour and bees wax finish. The six chairs are upholstered in rich leather and are available in four warm colours, including this striking red. A large range of matching Cube furniture is also available to help make a bold statement in any room.

Clarendon Leather 2 Seater Sofa
Clarendon is a traditional leather Chesterfield range that will add an air of traditional grandeur and elegance to any home. Based on the most popular of the deep-buttoned designs, with traditional straight scrolled arms and low back, the Clarendon Leather 2 Seater Sofa is a true Chesterfield classic. It is available in five ‘antique finish’ leathers but the red version is a real favourite thanks to the warmth and richness it exudes. It is also made to order in the UK.

Miami Bar Chair
New additions to your home don’t always have to be extravagant. These inexpensive bar chairs come in a pair and their curvy seats in glossy red will instantly update your kitchen. As well as being ergonomically designed for maximum comfort, the Miami Bar Chairs also has a gas lift function, swivelling seat and a handy foot rest, all atop a gleaming metal base.

At the UK’s largest online-only furniture retailer you will find a fantastic selection of items for every room in the house, as well as the garden, all accessible from the comfort of your own home. Furniture123.co.uk offers free delivery on all items to mainland UK. The 7 day money-back guarantee ensures that customers are able to receive a full refund if they are unhappy with their purchase.

Furniture 123 Takes a Stand Against Copyright Infringement on eBay

2008-04-22T14:15:00.006+01:00

Furniture123.co.uk is the UK's leading online only furniture store. We do not sell furniture on eBay but we do use eBay's VeRO (Verified Rights Owner) programme to protect our intellectual property, including trademarks and copyrights.

We are now taking steps to report all eBay listings, whether these belong to eBay Shops or individual sellers, that infringe our rights.

If your listing has been reported by Furniture 123 it may be for one of, but not restricted to, the following reasons:

- Your eBay listing contained a product description/written content from the furniture123.co.uk website: Most of the brochures we receive from our furniture suppliers do not include any descriptions of the products. When we add these products to our website our team of Merchandisers and Copywriters research the products and write relevant descriptions, the content and format of which are copyrighted. Producing this content is a time consuming task, however we believe it is essential to aiding our customers in the buying process. We will therefore take action against any seller (on eBay or the internet at large) who infringes our copyrights in this way. This is the most common reason for us to report a listing on eBay and it can be avoided by writing your own, original product descriptions at the time of listing your products. Taking just one sentence of copyright material from our website is an infringement and it will be reported.

- Your eBay listing contained a link to the furniture123.co.uk website: As per the example above, you should aim to provide your own original description for furniture you list on eBay, regardless of whether you are a business or an individual. Links to our website will be deemed as unauthorised use of our copyright and will be reported.

- Your eBay listing used the Furniture 123 name: We do not sell our products on eBay and by using our name you may be misleading other users into thinking that we do, or that your listing is in some way affiliated to, or endorsed by, us. The only time it would be acceptable to use our name on your listing is if you are re-selling an item you bought from our official website and you state this in your description.

- Your eBay Shop name or ID infringed our registered company name: Our company name can be written as 'Furniture123' or 'Furniture 123' and this name is registered with Companies House. Any eBay Shop name or ID which is deemed as copying our name and/or its format will be reported. This includes combining the word 'furniture' or any word related to furniture with the number sequence '123'. For example, names such as '123Furniture' or 'Beds123' will be reported. To avoid being reported for this, sellers offering furniture should devise an original name/ID as per the advice above.

Although we aim to report all offending listings, eBay is a big place and some listings get missed. Seeing our copyright material on a live listing does not make it acceptable for others to copy it also. You may not even realise you are using our copyright material as many others have already taken it as their own. In this case ignorance is not a defence and we would urge you to check the ownership of any material before publishing it on your eBay listings or any other websites.

If you wish to use content in your listing and are not sure if it belongs to Furniture 123, we would advise you to do one of two things: write your own, original material OR check our website http://www.furniture123.co.uk/ to see if the text is already used on there.

For further details, please visit our eBay page.

Beautiful Furniture Needn’t Cost the Earth at Furniture 123

2008-04-21T11:42:00.014+01:00

PRESS RELEASE

As the world gets smaller and customers expectations get greater a delicate balancing act is needed to ensure cheap furniture today doesn’t cost the environment tomorrow. Furniture 123 knows that discerning customers will ask questions about the origins of furniture, especially wooden furniture. This is why it works to ensure its suppliers use sustainable materials from reputable sources.

Pavilion Rattan - Antibes Complete Dining Table Set
The teak and mahogany used in Pavilion Rattan products are from a Perum Perhutani managed source on the Indonesian island of Java. Perum Perhutani is the government department who now own and manage the plantations: they have a strict policy regarding replanting and the size and quantity of trees felled each year, and this ensures a continued supply of these valuable timbers.

Christian Harold - Ardennes Leather Dining Set
Christian Harold, the maker of the Ardennes range, understands that being presented with a tree is both a privilege and a huge responsibility. The company responds to this in two ways. Firstly, it ensures that for every tree used, it replants two trees in return. Secondly, it creates something of real beauty that can be cherished for many years to come.

Segusino - Lyon Dining Table
Segusino offers a collection of hand made furniture using a unique blend of rustic pine and antique reclaimed wood. Each piece is a one-off, handcrafted using traditional techniques spanning back generations then hand finished with wax. All Segusino products are manufactured in compliance with fair trade ethics and use environmentally sustainable sources.

At the UK’s largest online-only furniture retailer you will find a fantastic selection of items for every room in the house, as well as the garden, all accessible from the comfort of your own home. Furniture123.co.uk offers free delivery on all items to mainland UK. The 7 day money-back guarantee ensures that customers are able to receive a full refund if they are unhappy with their purchase.
