FAQ

1. Can I have it in a different size? Each piece is a unique find, it has made its way to us many years after it left its factory, but it is worth asking, we may have a two seat to match the three seat you’ve seen, for example.

2. Can I have it in a different colour? Each piece is a unique find, it has made its way to us many years after it left its factory, but it is worth asking, we may have the same model in a different colour, we can also organise reupholstering or re-dying.

3. Can I have this reupholstered?
Yes, all our upholstered furniture is suitable for reupholstery and we’re happy to use upholsterers local to us, or deliver to upholsterers local to you. It can be an expensive exercise, but overall cost is still below the costs of a new equivalent piece.

4. Can you ship it to…..? We ship our furniture worldwide, and have a wealth of experience in fast and cost effective delivery. Some destinations are more challenging than others, please get in touch to discuss options.

5. How will this be delivered? Where possible we will deliver ourselves where our experience will ensure if the furniture will fit, we’ll get it in. If the destination is out of our range, or the item is needed more rapidly than we can achieve, we will employ a courier or pallet distributor to deliver. If delivery is in house or via courier, and the item is bulky, we assume help provided by the purchaser with lifting, if needed. If with a pallet company, their responsibility is to the door only. We understand that some customers will require a two person team to deliver. Please alert us to that, and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

6. Is it comfortable? Relating to our upholstered furniture, we’re often asked this and the question is difficult to answer yes or no. It’s a subjective thing, some prefer a soft seat, some firm, some want to slouch, others are looking for an upright position. We will always be happy to offer our opinion on any item, and advise on how it will fit the purpose you intend.

7. It’s used. Does it smell? Our sofas and chairs are checked for any strong aroma, and will be washed if necessary. Some odours are pervasive, and we will flag this if that’s the case.

8. It’s not quite what we wanted, can we return it? Of course. No problem, We fully understand that sometimes the new piece doesn’t quite work out. We will collect and refund as rapidly as possible, only retaining the delivery and collection cost.

9. Has the sofa been cleaned? We will always thoroughly clean every piece, but assess each separately, some will be simply hoovered, others will have spot stains treated and some will receive a full wash with a fibre safe solution.

10. Can you store the item until you’re ready? Absolutely, no problem. Do contact to discuss, we’ll always try to help.

11. Will it fit into the property. Always a consideration, and sometimes it can be difficult, but we’re resourceful in solving access issues. The furniture was designed to fit in to a home, and many will even if the dimensions suggest not. Some items can be flat packed, and easily reassembled, others will turn through a door frame to access. Do contact to discuss if you have concerns that access is difficult,

Once Loved Is Never Enough

The Beginnings

Mid Century Furniture U.K Ltd has been trading vintage furniture since the early 1990’s.

With telephone directories and paper roadmaps, Peter Robinson headed east into Europe in search of mid-century treasures. Holland, Denmark and Swedens garages, basements, ‘Genbrugs’ and ‘Kringloopwinkels’ were scoured for the finest furniture from the generations before. Vast hauls were nursed back to the UK where demand was limited at best!

Fortunately for us, the quality of Scandinavian design, its impeccable construction and its adaptability to today's contemporary homes have sparked a global interest in this timeless style.

Progression of the Company

For many years, we have supplied to trade customers across the UK (Auctions, in-person) and worldwide (Containers & Online). However, as demand has grown, supply has dwindled, and costs have increased, we’ve embraced the challenge of incorporating a retail element while staying true to our core value: offering the finest sourced items at the best prices.

The future of UKDK Furniture includes a greater focus on online sales so we can spread the joy of quality, affordable and beautiful Scandinavian furniture to as many homes as possible. 

Why do we do this?

Each item we sell embodies the passion and craftsmanship of its original creation. We believe that furniture once loved is never enough - It deserves a new, loving home in its next stage of life. And we love guiding you towards the discovery of your perfect item.


The ever changing and often unique stock we work with creates a stimulating environment for us to work in as well as a great chance for you, our customers, to find something perfect that you’d never considered before.

We ensure each and every piece is fit for use, stabilising any faults and thoroughly cleaning them. Our approach focuses on conservation not restoration, allowing us to keep our pricing competitive.


Where you come in

As our valued customers from the vanguard, your job is to discover and appreciate the rich history behind each piece. From the designers and craftsmen to the very first owners and our dedicated team both here in the UK and Denmark, we all play a part in preserving, presenting and enjoying these treasures. So, we encourage you to bring these stories into your home, savour the beauty they offer and let everyone know where they can find their own piece of Scandinavian joy!
