Wendy was amazing

Wendy was amazing, she answered all our questions and talked us through all the different options available. No pushy sales, just a joy to deal with!

Please Avoid!

We spent over £4,250 on a bedroom furniture suite from Edinburgh Loaf and the experience has been beyond disappointing.

After waiting 9 weeks for delivery, we were contacted just two days before it was due to arrive and told there was an issue with the headboard they had made. By that point, we had already disposed of our old bed frame and were literally sleeping on the floor.

We then waited another 4 weeks, only for Loaf to attempt delivery of a SINGLE headboard for a super king bed. Unsurprisingly, we refused delivery.

What made matters even worse was that on the day of delivery, after discussing the issue with the delivery driver, Loaf didn’t even have the common decency to call and apologise. We had to chase them ourselves for an explanation and to discuss next steps.

Their solution? An 18% discount and a request for us to wait another 4–8 weeks while they have a third attempt at making the bed they are supposed to sell professionally.

The whole situation would be laughable if it wasn’t so frustrating. Poor communication, repeated mistakes, and absolutely no sense of urgency despite the amount of money spent.

We genuinely don’t know what else to say other than: stay away.

We arrived with a clear idea of what we wanted after researching online. There was so much choice, and the quality was excellent. The staff—Marian, Sam, and the Allan s—were friendly without being intrusive. They gave us space to browse and were available when we were ready to place our order. Although the furniture is expensive, it is built to last and looks amazing. By the way, if you are not ready to receive your order, for example, if you are decorating or waiting to move in, they will store it for you free of charge for up to four weeks.

Absolutely brilliant experience

Absolutely brilliant experience in store. Wendy from the Straiton, Edinburgh store helped me pick out my new sofa and she was amazing. Super attentive and informative. She was able to help me do lots of colour matches, lots of measuring and also giving me time to have a look around to get a feel. She made me feel much more comfortable and reassured. Can’t thank her enough. Would definitely recommend and I’d be very keen to go back if I need further furniture or help. Also quality of everything is superb and should set a standard for everywhere else!!

perfect showroom experience

Sharon was incredibly helpful in showing me round and suggesting complimentary colours/cushions/rugs etc. Couldn't have been more helpful and didn't feel rushed at all. Very inviting showroom and made the whole process fun and enjoyable. Just right balance of friendly and helpful. Love that the staff are not on commission so you feel advice is not biased. Thank you for all your help :)

Alan was so helpful with a sofa purchase. He wasn't pushy but offered alternatives and even after the sale spent time with me to get some ideas together on how the room colours could work in my house.
Not received the sofa yet, but so far, so excellent!

Chair buying excellence

Your staff were helpful but relaxed and knew where the exact item we wanted to view was situated in the store. We were directed to where we could choose fabric and help was around when we needed it. There was a little confusion over scatter cushions which was easily resolved and the ordering process was simple.

Avoid the insurance

Upsold expensive insurance for couch stains, but they fob you off to unresponsive third parties for months. All smiles when they are taking your money but don't care about customers when they leave the shop. Avoid

Great bed side manner !!!

Great service really took time with us as we were unsure of which style of bed and mattress we wanted. Beautiful styles great choice of materials for the bed finishes. Could spend all of my pennies easily in Loaf:)
Prices were comparible with other nearby stores but the styles were so much more unusual and dramatic. Just waiting for delivery !!!! Excited
