Our furniture has made it into the White House! Okay, it’s not the President’s White House (yet), but it has made its way into an equally luxurious hotel on Herm Island, The White House Hotel.
If you haven’t heard of Herm Island, it’s a small island just off Guernsey. The island is dubbed as the perfect retreat to get away from it all, and with a population of under 100 people and no cars or crowds, it’s easy to see why.
The White House Hotel is the only hotel on the picturesque island and matches the relaxing environment by allowing visitors to ‘switch off’ by removing televisions, clocks and telephones – talk about unwinding!
As you would expect, the island is also a popular choice for events such as birthdays and weddings. For functions and events, the hotel has a marquee that has a capacity of 150 with spectacular coastal views. It’s for this temporary marquee that the hotel was looking for new seating.
Because of the short-term, invariable nature of the marquee, the hotel wanted chairs that were easy to store and stack away in the times that the marquee isn’t in use. It was decided upon that 150 harrow steel stacking chairs would be ordered. The chairs are often chosen for banquet environments as they offer flexibility as well as a visually appealing finish.
“The pricing appeared competitive and Trent Furniture couldn’t have been more helpful in ensuring that not only would the chairs be delivered in a couple of weeks, but gave me a number of costed options for delivery to us in the Channel Islands,” explains Jonathan Forster, Herm Island Ltd CEO.
The delivery to the unusual location wasn’t a problem for us. For islands in the UK (including Guernsey) we will either use our own vehicles or a haulage company. “The order and delivery process was made very easy for me. I couldn’t recommend Trent Furniture highly enough – their service was excellent from initial enquiry to delivery,” adds Jonathan.
The chairs come just in time for the influx of weddings that we’re sure will be taking over the idyllic island this summer!
