Chesterfields Direct — British Handmade Leather Chesterfield Sofas
Chesterfields Direct is a leading British company specialising in leather Chesterfield sofas and handmade leather furniture. We have been making furniture since 1980, with every piece produced by hand in Lancashire, England. Our long-standing experience allows us to create furniture that is recognisable for its construction and built for daily use in real homes around the world.
All Chesterfields Direct furniture is made using traditional manufacturing techniques. Skilled craftspeople work with carefully selected materials and traditional upholstery methods, ensuring each couch, armchair, meets consistent standards of build quality. Every design is constructed with close attention to detail, from the frame through to the final upholstery. The result is furniture where the leather matures naturally over time, becomes more comfortable with use, and maintains its structure, reflecting a level of understated luxury expected from handcrafted British furniture.
We provide a comprehensive 12-month guarantee on materials and workmanship, alongside an extended 5-year frame guarantee on structural integrity. Full details are available on our Guarantee page.
Chesterfields Direct also has extensive experience in bespoke furniture for both residential and commercial use. From standard leather sofas to fully customised designs, we are able to accommodate a wide range of requirements. Our work includes everything from classic Chesterfield style settees to large-scale projects, including one of the longest Chesterfield sofas ever produced, measuring 11 metres in length. Customers can choose made-to-order furniture, request adjusted dimensions, or select from ready-made items that are available for faster delivery.
Worldwide delivery is arranged weekly through established international logistics partners. Delivery within mainland UK typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from order confirmation, though we aim to dispatch sooner whenever possible. We regularly ship furniture across the UK, Europe, the USA, and Asia. For accurate delivery costs and timelines, please visit our Worldwide Delivery page or contact our sales team directly.

FAQ
What seating options are available on Chesterfields Direct sofas?
Depending on the model, Chesterfields Direct sofas are available with fixed seats or cushioned seating. Some designs offer firmer support, while others feature deeper cushions for a more relaxed sit. Seating construction varies by style and size, allowing customers to choose an option that suits their preferred level of support and everyday use. Full details are outlined in our sofa buying guide.
How difficult is it to care for leather sofas, armchairs, and footstools?
Leather used by Chesterfields Direct is chosen for its durability and everyday practicality. Routine care is simple: occasional dusting with a soft cloth and light wiping with a slightly damp cloth are usually sufficient. From time to time, applying a suitable leather conditioner helps keep the leather supple, prevents it from drying out, and maintains an even surface finish. With this basic level of care, our leather furniture remains easy to live with and well suited to daily use over many years.
