Shopping for furniture is not an emergency. It’s not cardio, either, although you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise while scrolling design websites with countdown timers and flashing discounts, imploring you to "shop now" as if the last mid-century-style sideboard in existence is about to vanish. The truth is, your living room coffee table can wait - at least long enough to read the fine print and decide whether those 15% savings, or the extra 10% off already-reduced garden sets, are actually worth the detour from pressing matters like folding laundry or avoiding folding laundry.
Arighi Bianchi, a storied name in British furniture housed in a 19th-century building that wouldn't look out of place in a Merchant Ivory film, is not your average internet retailer. Built on a heritage of craftsmanship - and conveniently located in Macclesfield - it’s the rare furniture site that still feels vaguely like a physical store. One with soft-close drawers rather than fashionably hard sells.
Deals here are pitched with the kind of restraint you don’t often see online. There’s the usual seasonal chorus: up to 30% off mirrors (some of which might actually convince you that your hallway is more than a corridor), an extra 10% off already-discounted garden furniture (in case you're optimistic enough to plan ahead for the two warm British afternoons of the year), and 15% off accessories, which, depending on your aesthetic leaning, includes glass coral sculptures and gold urchin ornaments that toe the line between charming and mildly aggressive.
The catalogue excels in categories where timelessness trumps trend-panic. The Indiana dining table drops from £769 to £649 - not revolutionary, but respectable if you were going to buy it anyway. Likewise the Java 6 Drawer Wide Chest, now £925 instead of £1,315, is a discount that even a stoic mid-century enthusiast might call "worth a look." Shipping is free on accessories over £50, reflecting an unspoken rule of online furniture: you’ll always end up needing a throw pillow or a vase to meet the minimum.
Returns are accepted, though the company’s refund policies, like most in the furniture world, skew toward "let’s avoid this if we can." Translation: choose well the first time. Furniture is neither light nor eager to be re-boxed. Clarity on delivery times isn't always immediate at checkout, but you can speak to actual humans at the other end of the customer service line - another throwback touch that modern retail could use more of.
Somewhat inexplicably, the shop also sells Max Benjamin lavender diffusers, Assouline’s glossy travel books, and wall art featuring cocktails. (The Cheers III Wall Art – Negroni has a certain end-of-day honesty.) These inclusions suggest Arighi Bianchi is not above a little lifestyle theatre - though thankfully they stop short of shilling NFTs or luxe dog beds lined with alpaca fleece.
If you do decide to sign up for their newsletter, there’s the predictable £25 off your first £100+ order. Sensible, albeit not especially novel. Like most onboarding discounts, it’s more of a polite nudge than a reason to re-furnish your life.
No platform is above criticism. Not every design sings, and some items in the sale feel locked in a 2009 Pinterest board. It happens. But overall, Arighi Bianchi’s approach favors quality over algorithm-fed trend cycles. This is the kind of site that would rather show you a well-made chair you actually need than one that just happens to be going viral on TikTok.
If you're the sort of person who prefers fewer choices - but better ones - and believes furniture should outlast the current colour of the year, it’s a site worth revisiting. Preferably with a strong coffee and low expectations. Which, to be clear, are often the best way to avoid buyer's remorse.
