It seems that if you have, Chelsea Clearance is the place to be. It brims like a broth spoiled by too many cooks, but don't get me wrong: that's a good thing. It's probably Earlsfield's busiest clearance store and it's always fun to come here on two counts: rummaging through piles of old amplifiers, dodgy furniture and random garage contents, and seeing how far down I can haggle the owner for prices.

Their website is really informative and I found their live online support and the girls of their customer service really useful to answer my initial questions, including them emailing photos and recommendations of style. They had a real understanding of their product down to the milimeter. The delivery and set up of the dining table was equally as efficient. The quality of the oak and its treatment is excellent, and the table still looks great after regular day use and many parties.
