Where can I find a sofa that is only 66cm high?
The bay window in our Victorian house has folding shutters that open inwards. We want to replace the old chesterfield sofa that sits in the bay but we have not been able to find another sofa low enough for the shutters to open over it. Can you suggest one that is no higher than 66cm?

A maximum height of 66cm for a sofa sets quite a challenge, and even some of the companies that adapt their seating told me they could not take the height down this far. Sofa Workshop, however, has three designs that could work. There is the Connor, which is just 64cm high, and the Mr Bourbon, at 66cm high. Both are in a simple, contemporary style and prices include fabric. But a buttoned chesterfield called Grand Old Gent, stands 70cm high on slightly tapered wooden legs. The body of the sofa can't be adapted and the company itself doesn't offer to do what I am going to suggest, which is to cut 4cm off the legs. Unless you can cut it accurately, get a carpenter to do it.
My other thought is to reconsider your present chesterfield. Any good upholsterer would rebuild and recover it. Find one through The Association of Master Upholsterers & Soft Furnishers.
