Good Customer Service, but Poor Furniture

We ordered an Oak TV cabinet from Furniture world, but it arrived damaged in soaking wet dirty packaging.

We then had two further returns, each with damage to the lacquer on the furniture.

Customer service were very helpful each time but the quality control on the furniture is shocking.

The couriers were badly informed. Polite enough but with the return/exchange coming as a complete surprise to them each time they arrived, no overshoes or other precautions to keep flooring clean/dry in bad weather.

Excellent Service from start to finish

Both my husband & I were looking for a replacement Vi-Spring bed & we met Ben. He definitely knew the products, we were guided through all of the various options. He was so helpful & made the whole process seamless. If you need a new bed just visit the Plymouth branch & ask for Ben.

Awful service – completely misleading!

Ordered the Soho bedside tables and chest of drawers. We were told the bedside tables wouldn’t be in stock until the end of November, which was fine.

On 18th September, Furniture World emailed to say the drawers would be in on 1st October and asked if we wanted them sent together. We replied the same day asking for them to be sent separately — no response.

By 21st October, still no drawers, so we chased it up. They then asked us the same question again! After explaining (again) that we wanted them separately, we were told the drawers still hadn’t been dispatched and the bedside tables are now delayed another three months because only one is in stock — even though we ordered two!

We’re cancelling, getting a refund, and won’t be ordering again.
P.S. The website still says the Soho chest of drawers are “in stock and ready for QUICK delivery” — totally misleading.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We wish we had done better, but we suffered a few issues with the live stock feed last week from this particular supplier. We put our hands up – not our finest hour, we’re really sorry for the inconvenience caused – the tech guys are looking into why we still have some spurious dates on the website. Please accept our apology.

Fantastic service

We took delivery of two swivel chairs but one of the seats had a problem. A man was sent down to check it out the next day and he ordered a new seat which arrived very quickly and was perfect. I would like to compliment the staff in Truro for an excellent service in both the purchasing, delivery and sorting out a problem immediately with no hassle. It makes a change these days to have such wonderful kind service. Thank you so much.

Wonderful service

Wonderful service.
Bought some new leather kitchen stools. Not only were they amongst the cheapest of this particular stool we found online. But delivery was speedy, and the stools were perfect!
But above all, the customer service we received from Samantha and Zia was incredible. Rectified a problem (of our making, not Furniture World) without question and extremely speedily.
Couldn't recommend more highly, thank you for such a brilliant experience

Can’t that Matt and Ruth enough from furniture world Truro.
I placed and order for a LHF sofa from the first inquiry on the website i spoke from Matt from start to finish . I can’t praise him enough his communication skills are 10/10 .
Received my sofa exactly what I wanted only to find I placed the order for the wrong corner sofa I needed RHF . Matt spoke with Ruth in head office who has authorized a replacement (correct ) sofa to be ordered not many companies would do this . They totally go above and beyond . Thanks again to you , your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed 🥰 Danielle

Broken dining chair

Took our broken dining chair to the store where we bought it about twenty years ago. Despite the chair being out of production the staff members were extremely helpful and supportive, offering advice regarding repair/replacement solutions. Five stars to you and thank you both.

After my chaise sofa was too large to go through my hallway, Don came to my flat on the day, and was so helpful. They couldn't do enough when I went back to the store. I had the option of full refund, choose another suite, they also offered to have the large chaise sofa to be dismantled and rebuilt in my front room, or I could have my window taken out. It's rare to have such support and options given. Ben and Kevin were fantastic, which made a stressful situation more bareable. I had my window taken out, and Don (on his day off) came to my flat to help the removal guys to ensure the delivery went smoothly. Ben remained in communication with me from the initial delivery date, to the re delivery date. I can't thank furniture world staff enough, fabulous customer service, 5 ⭐

Dreadful , never again

Very poor quality furniture from China , some of it arrived( after months waiting ) smashed to pieces , the only item I kept is broken after 4 months . Customer service is useless , overcharged me by £200 , initially refused to discuss it then tried to divert me to the finance company. Total failure to rectify the broken item , claimed no knowledge of the email i'd sent then 30 seconds later claimed they'd sent a replacement which conveniently must have got lost in the post. The woman I spoke to today is in the wrong job , patronising and continuously shouting over me and then threatened to put the phone down if I carried on interrupting her . Spoke to me like I was 5 years old. Its been a nightmare from start to finish !

Jeanette – this review is very disappointing and is not a true reflection of our interaction yesterday or the service you have received. You placed a couple of orders with us in February and March. The quality of the furniture was not in question. Your original order was delayed due to you being in hospital and not being able to take delivery. You then subsequently cancelled one item but refused delivery on the other item you didn’t want. The changes were made at different times.

The item you say is already broken is a metal handle and we asked if you would like us to send you a replacement. This was sent out. You didn’t say it hadn’t arrived so out of courtesy we have popped another one in the post for you today.

Your second order was subject to transit damage, and we offered you a replacement or a refund. You accepted the latter. The furniture was not faulty or poor quality and is subjected to rigorous quality control in Vietnam where it is made.

Regarding us overcharging you, I can see that there is an amount due back to you of £199 which I have sorted this morning with the finance company. Unfortunately, this was missed due to you refusing delivery of the last item on your order, rather than cancelling it.

A huge selection of beds and sofas. The service is just right - not pushy at all, but knowledgeable and amenable.
Good prices.

EXCEPTIONAL IN EVERY WAY

Such a wonderful shopping experience. So much nicer to shop in a family run business rather than the soulless big boys. Kevin was absolutely fantastic. So relaxed, no pressure when choosing a sofa. We then also needed to get a new mattress and George was equally amazing with his expertise and friendly nature. Don made us good coffee and Daisie was great in helping us choose colours! So all in all a real family effort!! Thankyou so much X

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service. We ordered a tv unit and less than 48 hours later it was delivered! Excellent packaging however unfortunately it was damaged goods inside the excellent packaging. We were disappointed and contacted Furniture world by email. The same day we received an offer of acceptance with 25% refund or exchange. We couldn’t face repackaging and the hassle so we accepted the offer and my husband mended it. It hardly shows really. Each email was replied to promptly. Thank you Jade for your help.

I bought enough pieces to furnish 6 hotel bedrooms after sampling some before going back and purchasing the remaining.
The reason I went back and bought more was because of the quality of the furniture, but also the way Zia went out of her way to provide the levels of service that gave me the confidence to give them my business.
The delivery teams were helpful and polite, having been upgraded to the two man white glove service, who then delivered every piece to each room, built, and then took away the packaging.
There were a couple of pieces that arrived damaged, but Zia quickly had replacements arranged and removed stresses.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I expected to have to wait 2 months for the furniture to arrive. However, after being notified that it had arrived on 9 July, I have today (29 July) been contacted by the delivery service and informed that the first date for delivery is 7 August, despite having notified Furniture World that I am away from 2-16 August. Furniture World have washed their hands for any responsibility for delivery and I now won't receive the furniture until late August at the earliest. It was ordered on 10 May. I will not use them again.

Your order came into stock more quickly than we expected (our estimated date was 22/8) which is why the delivery team from Gallery Direct have been in touch. This supplier does their own direct home deliveries. Unfortunately because they contract a 3rd party courier they are unable to ensure your items will arrive before you go on holiday, even though we have requested this. We are always very open and honest about delivery times and if a delay is too long you are always welcome to request a refund.
