 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently ordered a bespoke luxury dog sofa from M R Dawson Upholstery, and from beginning to end the whole process was amazing. From our initial consultation, they gave us lots of helpful advice, listened carefully to our needs and helped us create something perfect for our home. The quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail are fantastic, and our Cavalier King Charles is absolutely delighted with his new bed! We couldn’t be happier with our luxury bespoke dog sofa and would highly recommend M R Dawson Upholstery to anyone looking for luxury bespoke upholstery and handmade furniture. Excellent service from start to finish — 10/10! Thank you Mark and Michelle!

The suite has come back looking like a completely new piece of furniture. Mark and Michelle are a real pleasure to deal with and were so helpful in choosing the materials. Many thanks for a superb piece of work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My beloved labradoodle Molly is twelve and a half years old and she’s has many dog beds over the years. This one from MR Dawson Upholstery is another level. It’s has a solid hardwood frame and beautifully fitted high quality fabric. It’s well worth the cost as it’s a long term solution for my furry friend! She loves it. Mark and Michelle delivered the bed and were really friendly and helpful. Delighted.
