Downtown staff were really helpful

Downtown staff could not have been more helpful ... They promptly chased the coding of a chair purchased years ago and traced the correct elevator, and then sent on the info to order it. The order arrived within three days of the original call. Very impressed. It arrived in perfect condition, and all the packaging was recyclable. Can't speak highly enough of their help.

Excellent service from beginning to end.

From my visit to the store in May, to the delivery to my home today, everyone who I have come into contact with, the sales team,, the accountancy team and the delivery team have been polite, proficient and professional .
Thank you for a super service which I find is rare to encounter these days.
A first class service which I hope to use again in the near future

Purchase a wardrobe from Downtown

Purchase a wardrobe from Downtown, took a good 6 weeks to arrive. When we started to assemble it, it was a nightmare, instructions may of been in double Dutch!! And the price we paid for it £565 + £45 delivery charge, was a rip off!! As it’s only made of chipboard, still trying to figure out how it all goes together. I use to think better of downtown thinking there quality items are good but after this experience I will never purchase any furniture of any kind from this store again. Shame I can’t put a photo on here! The wardrobe name is ( KORBACH SLIDING DOORS). Please think twice before spending this amount of money on this wardrobe.

Hi Jo

Thank you for your review.

We cannot see the details of your order and have requested some more information from you. It would be useful to get that specific detail, and then we can investigate further. However, with regard to the points you have raised...

We can see that those items are currently on a 10-week leadtime, and the appropriate but estimated delivery timescale should always be communicated at the time of ordering. If the delivery with your order was longer than you were told, then we can look into that.

We sell a lot of this item and have had very little negative feedback. But again, if there were specific issues, please do let us know.

The price is competitive with the market price, and we always reflect the cost price of products when pricing is set. Likewise, delivery is a very high cost to any retailer, and on most of our deliveries, the true cost to the customer is subsidised, in order for us to try and offer as much value as possible.

We do sell a huge range of furniture, from self-assembly to premium ready-made pieces. But regardless of the price, we would always be confident of the value we offer, combined with our service and expertise.

Thank you once again for sharing your feedback, and please do get in touch with your order number if possible.

Kind regards

Hidden Gem

We were obsessed by a rug we saw in John Lewis and I came across downtown store selling the same rug at much better price and we didn’t need to pay extras for shipping - the transaction was very smooth and customer service were very helpful. Definitely I’ll be recurring customers.

Great Service.

As always, great service from Downtown. The Rauch sliding drobes I bought were of an amazing quality. It was the expensive range and it shows.
The soft close chest of drawers though that fits inside was very cheap and nasty item. Finishing was poor from Rauch to say the least, unlike the wardrobes. I re enforced the Chest before putting it inside the wardrobe. Shouldn't have to but hey ho.

Great company

Great company. Not going to lie,I'd never heard of them before. Was needing to get Sylavanian families small raspberry cottage to add to the other cottage, and this was the only place that sold it! There were other sites that had it that seemed a bit dodgy incl the sylvanian website. Happy with product, brill delivery time. Definitely recommend

High quality furniture and excellent…

High quality furniture and excellent service from all at Downtown. I am very pleased with the items of furniture which I purchased and was given warm and helpful advice from staff in store. Delivery was easy to arrange and items were assembled with care and efficiency. I won't hesitate to visit again and highly recommend Downtown.

Grateful quality and delivery.

I ordered the 2 shelving units to match 2 that I'd bought years ago. Ordering was easy, delivery speed was great, and the shelving units went together easily. Their quality is great. I'd certainly recommend Downtown Stores - thank you.
